Refresh Your Face

Hey Gorgeous People,

Sometimes when you apply your makeup and you apply it wrong, you can look dull, drained and lifeless. So today I thought I would share some simple steps to make your face look fresh and clean.

1. Make sure that all your brushes and applicators and cleaned regularly and make sure your face is also clean. You do not want all that grime, powder and bleuch smearing across your face and turning you into an ashy grey mess. You want you powders to stay the same colour and not look like you pressed your face in dirt.

2. Applying concealer on any spots or under eye bags will make you look lively and perfect. Don't apply the concealer around the area though otherwise you will end up with a halo effect and it won't look as good. Apply a concealer that is the same skin tone or a shade lighter to only the effected areas.

3. Foundation is not always necessary unless you are an older woman or you have a skin disorder. Foundation will make you look fake and not clean and fresh like you want to look.

4. To reduce the shine on your skin, use powder. It will absorb the oils on your T-zone (forehead, nose and chin). If you put it on beneath your eyes it will take away the natural highlights and won't be as effective in refreshing your face.

5. For your eyes stick to light browns, ivories and light pinks or anything just a shade darker than your skin tone. Anything to bright won't get the fresh and clean look that you want.

6. Blush is not actually necessary but if you are quite pale or ill and you want to look healthy, go for it. Just don't apply too much otherwise you will begin to look like a doll ... and not a good one at that.

7. Finally, with your lips go with lip-glosses in clear, light pink, brown, nude or bronze. Lipsticks will make it look much more made up but if you prefer it that way stick to light pink, brown or bronze.

Okay guys so that was a short one but I don't have much time today to think of what to do. I have been quite busy recently trying to organise outings and various events but I will try to have a tutorial out for you later this week on some quick and simple hairstyles for a nice event.
