When it comes to applying makeup, I am a strong believer of keeping it simple and natural. No offense to anyone, but I don’t advocate the cakey, layer after layer kind of makeup. It looks so phony. Again, it is a personal preference, and I have no intentions to jeopardize anyone’s work or passion.
My everyday makeup look is very consistent. A few essentials and four minutes of my time is all it takes for me to apply my make in the morning. No kidding, four minutes is just what I need on my busy mornings. I have teamed up with Amazing Cosmetics to share with you a video illustration of my EVERYDAY FOUR MINUTE FACE, a makeup look that is easy-peasy and quick.
- PRIMER– I am using the Amazing cosmetics anti-aging primer. It is not matte, but isn’t greasy either. It is a lightweight formula that primes and moisturizes simultaneously. It contains the quintessential Vitamin E, that has both an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties.
- FOUNDATION– I am using the YSL touche éclat le tint radiance awakening foundation in BD40.
- CONCEALER – This amazing cosmetics concealer goes a long way in providing light to medium coverage for your blemishes and scars. I apply it with a round brush all over my face including the under eyes. I use a beauty-blender to smooth out any visible concealer lines.
- EYELINER– Urban Decay Pervasion waterproof fine-point eyeliner in black is my all time favorite . It’s smudge-proof and waterproof formula makes it desirable in every girl’s vanity.
- MASCARA– I have tried so many brands, both high-end and pharmacy brand eye-liners but Loreal Paris voluminous mascara is my most loved and used beauty favorite.
- KOHL LINER – Urban Decay 24/7 glide on eye pencil in black is the winner here.
- CONTOUR– honestly, I don’t have the right know-how to contour like a pro, but one area of my face that I like to play around with is the hollow of my cheeks bones. I use the amazing cosmetics perfection stick cover and contour on the go. The stick style is really functional and allows for easy application.
- BLUSH – I was recently introduced to the Tom Ford shade and illuminate cheeks blush and ever since then I have been glued to it. Despite the cream formula, which could have the tendency to highlight the pores, I love it for it’s color and durability.
- LIPSTICK– on a daily basis, neither do I use bright lip colors nor do I outline my lips. Blessed with thick lips, thanks to my paternal genes, just a sweep of my favorite blush lipstick and my face looks fly.
