Ladies, let's keep it real! We all have those days where we actually feel for Bruno Mars when he sings "Today I don't feel like doing anything..." and most often than not, we actually have to be somewhere like go to work or go to a meeting, a lunch, or any event. So we have no choice but to look presentable.
So for those "lazy days" ahead, you can use this easy steps on how to look presentable but still feel like there's nothing much on your face.
Step 1: Primer / Pore Minimizer or Blurrer
I love Etude House's new product called "Beauty Shot Face Blur" which is a lightweight cream that helps blur skin imperfections like wrinkles and sun spots. It also minimizes the appearance of pores really well.
I really like the way that it is a cream product, but goes on lightly on your face as if you just put on a very light moisturizer.
It has SPF15 which is great considering we live in a tropical country where it feels like you're cooking when you step outside.
This product can be worn alone or under makeup as a primer.
How to apply:
Just slather a pump and a half of this product all over your face and neck. Wait for it to dry a bit before putting on concealer or blush.
2. A Hydrating Concealer
"The Fake Up" by Benefit Cosmetics is one of the best under-eye concealers that not only conceals, but also hydrates the skin to up to 6 hours. It is a stick concealer with the outer portion serves as the "hydrating stick".
I love it because it doesn't cake or crease around my eyes even if I forgot to put on some eye cream.
It goes on invisible and doesn't require heavy blending for it to go incognito on your skin. The middle part of this product is the concealer itself, which you can also dab on pimples and spots that are still peeking through your primer/foundation.
How to use it:
Glide the concealer under your eyes and gently dab outward to blend using your ring finger.
3: Cream Blush
Rimmel Stay Blushed! liquic cheek tint is actually a cream blush that blends easily and seamlessly to create a natural-looking flush of the cheeks rather than actual blush. It is lightweight and lasts for hours.
How to apply:
Lightly dab a pea sized amount on both apples of your cheeks and blend.
4. Mascara
How to apply:
Dip the lash wand in the mascara two to 4 times to evenly coat the brush with the mascara since mascara is a thick sort of color. Now while applying the mascara on the upper lashes go from the root to the tip of the lash hairs and never backwards. Moving the brush in a zig zag manner from one side to the other and with the last stroke ending towards the outside of the eye i.e the otherside of the nose or the side nearest to the ear. For the lower lashes you may follow the same rule or you may give 4 to 5 strokes of the brush in one direction just by swiping it through the lashes from the side nearest to the nose to the side outwards. take a Lash comb and comb the eyelashes to avoid any clumps whatsoever.
5. A Moisturizing Lipstick
I am so in love with Nyx's Butter Lipsticks lately! Seriously girls, this stuff really glides on like butter that you don't need to put on lipbalm unless your lips are serverely chapped.
My favorite shade for an everyday look is this one called "Sweet Tart", a deep pink with a blue undertone.
They also have a shade called "Razzle" which is a purple-pink pop of color that is almost fuschia in color that is also great for a spring or summer look.
How to apply:
Apply the lipstick starting from the center of your lips, and slowly working it outward. Blot. Then reapply for a longer lasting tint.
And then you're all done! This 5 step routine is very easy and can be done in 3 minutes or less.
Later in the day when you feel like you need to re-do your makeup, just use a blotting tissue and/or apply a thin layer of face powder to get rid of the grease on your face.
