Simple everyday make up tips

Now in days the modern woman is nearly always on the go and that means we don't really have time to spend on doing our make up in the morning. But here are some very simple steps every woman can do and it should take no more than 5-6 minutes. Yes, really!

All you need is a tinted moisturizer (preferably with at least SPF15), mascara, eye liner, lip gloss blush and/or bronzer (if you'd like), and if you do choose to apply blush and/or bronzer you'd need a blush brush to apply them. That's it!

For starters I highly recommend started with a clean face so feel free to wash your face with a mild cleanser (NEVER use regular bar soap on your face) and gently pat dry. Next apply the tinted moisturizer of your choice on your fingertips and apply it all over your face in a circular upward motion. Tinted moisturizer gives you the benefit of a moisturizer sun protection (check the label for SPF) and light coverage. It's an all in 1 instead of applying each individually thus saving you time. Even you have a certain spot you feel would need more coverage i recommend you put on concealer in the areas you feel you need it prior to the tinted moisturizer. Now the face is ready and all it took was 2-3 minutes possibly less!

OK, so the next step would be to apply eye liner. Grab your favorite and lightly line the top lash line as close to the lashes as possible, when u reach the end slightly wing up. If you wanna elongate your eyes i recommend only lining the outer 2/3 of your eyes. Now some women like the classic black eye liner but there are so many different colors to try like coffee, grey, and when your feeling a little funky or adventurous try some hot pink or emerald green eye liners to really make a statement! On a side note if you have a little extra time and would like to wear a little eye shadow i recommend you choose 3 colors use the lightest color in the inner tear-duct corner and right below your eyebrow, then use the mid-shade on you entire lid and last use the darkest shade on the crease of the eye or if you'd like only the outer corners of the eye. For the day time light neutral colors would be perfect.

The next step would be apply mascara, but first if you have straight or flat lashes i suggest using an eye lash curler first. The proper way to curl your lashes would be to place the eye lash curler as close to eye lash roots as possible without pinching the skin and gently give it a few squeezes, next take the eye lash curler about half way down the lash and give it another few squeezes. Now your eye lashes should be ready. Grab your favorite mascara and hold the wand at the base of the lashes and i suggest moving the wand gently side to side then in one long swoosh coat the lashes. For more volume or length wait a few seconds before applying another coat of mascara. Black mascara like black eye liner is usually preferred but there are also other colors to choose from such as plum, brown or navy blue, give em a try and see what you think. Now your eyes are ready! If necessary fill in your eye brows. If using an eye brow pencil i suggest using gentle upward stroke to fill them in then gently "feathering" the color with you fingertip for a natural look.

Next is blush/bronzer. Believe it or not this could change the appearance of the shape of your face! For most face shapes I recommend picking up a small amount of blush on your brush , smile, and then in a circular motion start applying at the apples of the cheek and moving back towards the hairline slightly moving upwards, in other words following your cheek bone which is more visible when you smile. For long narrow faces i recommend only applying on the apples of the cheek. Then is the bronzer. Again pick some up with the brush this time suck your cheeks in (sort of like a "fish face") and apply the bronzer in the hollows of your cheeks (rite below the cheek bone). This can really make your cheek bones pop beautifully and elongate a round face. If you'd like you can also apply the bronzer on areas where the sun normally hits you such as the temples, and the nose for a more sun-kissed look. Your almost done just one more step!

The final step is to apply your favorite lip gloss. There are 2 ways depending on your desired effect. If you have thin lips applying lip gloss to the cupids bow (the small arch at the top of the lips) and the inner center of your lips can give a more voluminous effect. Or you can just apply it evenly on your lips. If your feeling a little risky i suggest using classic red lipstick for a more vintage look. Either way enjoy it, and just have fun!
