Quick!... where's my Face?! (...your makeup face, that is!)
If you still have a TON of makeup items in your bag, then you may have no clue as to how to apply your "Quick Face" in a makeup emergency. But have no fear, it's really very simple.
This is all you need:
- Brow Liner
- Eye Liner
- Mascara
- Eye shadow
- Lipstick, lip gloss or tinted lip balm
- Foundation or Tinted Moisturizer
- Makeup Brushes
Brow liner - to fill in gaps or create more shape
Eye liner - to accentuate the shape of the eye. For a fresh look, apply to the upper lid only.
Mascara - to accentuate lashes and open up the eye.
Eye shadow - to enhance the overall look of the eye using a flattering color choice.
Lipstick/gloss/balm - a finishing touch that completes your makeup look and adds an element of allure.
Foundation/Tinted moisturizer - to even out skin tone and conseal imperfections, if necessary.
Makeup Brushes - to expertly apply your makeup (mini brush kit: foundation, powder, brow, shadow & lip brush)
So there you are... six makeup items (& a brush kit) are all that's *necessary* for a "Quick Face"
Just because you don't have any plans to go somewhere or do something in particular doesn't mean you shouldn't be prepared. You don't know what may come up while you're already out-and-about.... and you never know where the day may take you. Always be prepared... keep a "Quick Face" in your bag!
ALSO:
Always chek the date on your makeup to make sure that none of the items you are using are outdated as this can potentially be harmful to your skin. Most face and body items will usually have a two-year shelf life. The term "shelf-life" is an indicator for the time frame in which a product is best used by, prior to potential degrading of any active ingredients.Of course, there may be exceptions to this rule, so be sure to check the date on your makeup. Any outdated makeup items should be tossed in the trash.
