As any girl-on-the-go will tell you, there are days where it feels like there simply isn’t enough time to get everything done. From early morning meetings to after-work trips to the gym and late-night plans, it’s imperative that you keep your face looking flawless as you’ll barely have time to glance in the mirror as you run from location to location.
Instead of throwing in the towel and showing up to your evening dinner date looking like a mess, follow a few tips from makeup artist Jemma Kidd, who recently told Allure how to ensure that you look great when you leave the gym.
Before your workout, Kidd suggests removing all of your makeup to prevent clogged pores. Rilastil Daily Care Make-Up Removing Wipes are easy to take with you – you won’t have to worry about a bottle breaking or spilling in your gym bag – and they are disposable, so you won’t have to be concerned with the product collecting bacteria.
Once the workout is over, however, Kidd told Allure that you don’t need a full face of makeup as you’ll likely possess a beautiful, post-exercise glow. She recommends using a non-greasy mineral powder foundation to even out your skin tone, and applying a bit of tinted lip balm and a few coats of mascara.
When preparing for a night out, there are usually two main components to getting ready – putting on your outfit and doing your makeup. Sometimes, however, these steps result in an unfortunate incident and you end up with a spot of concealer or lipstick on your ensemble.
Luckily, Yahoo! Shine reports that you may not have to change your threads at the last minute, as long as you have a few handy items in your kitchen.
“If you’ve spilled liquid foundation onto a blouse, go to the kitchen and get some baking soda,” the website suggests. “Sprinkle the powder onto the stain until it’s completely covered and press it gently into the fabric. Wet a nailbrush or a toothbrush and lightly brush the spot.”
You can also treat the concealer stain with a piece of white bread – as long as the fabric is washable. According to the news source, knead the slice into a ball and it will easily blot-up foundation.
If you end up with a smear of lipstick on your shirt, the bread trick can work as well. Unfortunately, you may have to don a new shirt before heading out, as experts recommend washing the garment after removing the mark with the bread.
Even if the alarm goes off hours before you have to leave for work, there are mornings when time flies by and you end up with just a few minutes left to apply your makeup. Instead of forgoing your beauty routine or making yourself late, here are a few expert tips to putting on makeup in a flash.
If you only have time to use one or two products, concentrate on concealer and foundation. “Clear, even skin is what makes the difference between looking disheveled and looking done,” makeup artist Fiona Stiles told Real Simple magazine.
Your eyes may be more than the window to your soul, they may also be the focal point of your face. Play up these attention-grabbing features by applying a shimmery, nude eyeshadow to your lids and skipping the eyeliner, which can be time-consuming to draw on. Instead, create contrast by coating your lashes with black mascara.
Finally, no look is complete without a touch of color. “To speed things up, I use red or pink lipstick on the mouth and as a blush,” makeup artist Charlotte Willer told the publication.
While many women may be comfortable crafting an elegant look for a swanky, nighttime affair, it may be a bit trickier to apply eye makeup for a daytime event, such as a wedding or luncheon, as daylight may make dark makeup appear garish or too formal.
Instead of applying a colorful eyeshadow, opt for simple, neutral tones – ladies with pale skin can use a shimmery bone shade while women with darker complexions may prefer a warmer banana hue, Glamour.com reports.
“This base color neutralizes the skin around the eyes to enhance their beauty and gives the whole eye area lift and vibrancy without looking too noticeable,” wedding makeup artist Jessica Liebeskind told the website.
To enhance your lash line, avoid black liner, which may appear too harsh in bright sunshine. Instead, the news source suggests donning a brown or grey formula, and applying the product with a brush for a softer, romantic look.
Too Faced offers two different eye makeup palettes, the Natural Eye Kit and the Naked Eye Kit, which each offer a range of neutral colored powders that work as shadow and liner, and are perfect for subtly enhancing your eyes.
Summer dates allow you to wear your favorite sun dresses, bare a few flirty peeks of skin and indulge in colorful cosmetics. However, sultry nights and balmy days can also pose a beauty challenge.
If there’s a romantic rendezvous in your future, here are a few tips that will help you stay pretty despite the heat.
Think pink. Glamour.com suggests applying a soft pink blush and lipstick for daytime dates. The color will look fresh and appropriate when the sun is high. Top your pout with a bit of lip gloss or balm for just the right amount of shine.
Those who want to try out the sweet look can use a product like Too Faced Lip of Luxury lipstick in shades like Cupcake or Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.
At night, the publication advises opting for a more glamorous look by pairing dramatic eye makeup with your rosy glow.
The magazine recommends applying a wash of shimmery eyeshadow across your lids, lining your lash line with black eyeliner and brushing on dark mascara. Stash a product like GloMinerals gloVolumizing Mascara into your makeup bag for late-night touch-ups.
