It's the start of a new year, a new week and monday is here. The morning when you snooze more than you normally do, you don't know what to wear and your face, well....you've looked better.
That's why I've put together the right products that will make you look like you're awake and fresh in just a couple of minutes. First make sure your lips won't feel dry during the day with Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm (my personal favorite). Add a small amount and let it sink in. In the mean time use the Beauty Flash Balm by Clarins, that brightens and tightens your face (two things my skin will love right now). Make sure you don't rub the product, and apply the rest of your makeup immediately. Your skin will look smoother, and that's what we need on days like these. Because I don't feel like a lot of makeup today I'll use the Studio Moisture Tint with spf 15 by Mac. This easy to work with tinted cream comes in a handy tube and covers exactly what I want. I use the colour Dark Deep. To look more awake I apply the Fresh Effect Eyeshadow by Chanel in Cool Gold in the inner corners of my eyes, plus an generous layer of the Great Lash mascara in Blackest Black by Maybelline (no eyeshadow today, ain't got the time). Now, don't be afraid to add multiple layers. The rest of this makeup look is pretty basic so we need big (but natural looking) lashes. Then on to the cheek department: creamy blush by Essence (in Sending You Kisses). This hot pink lip and cheek cream adds some well needed freshness to this monday morning look. And now your lips feel soft and smooth again we can use the Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector in 01, by Clarins. I love this product, because it's easy to apply, smells nice and has an soft applicator.
Now when checking the mirror you look like you're loving this cold morning in january, even if you actually don't (and want to stay in bed all day while drink hot chocolate). My last minute tip: use a couple drops of the Optrex Brightening Eye drops, for dull eyes. It makes your eyes look open, fresh and awake. Like you've slept more than 8 hours last night. I normally only use these drops when I'm traveling, but I think it's also aloud on a monday morning like today.
Enjoy your day!
