If you are one those people who wake up with puffy eyes, don’t freight, take a cold towel and press it on your eyes. In a matter of seconds, your eyes will be back to normal. Applying moisturizer to face and begin to apply foundation to your face. Be sure to blend in the foundation well with a sponge, you don’t want runs and creases. Concealing cream (concealer) is great for cover to dark circles, spots, and blemishes, I recommend using your finger to apply on your face. Be sure to smooth out the hairs of your eyebrows, it will make you look put-together. If your hairs don’t stay put, eyebrow gel will keep them in tact. And if you have any over plucked hairs, use an eyebrow pencil to cover.

You don’t have to apply eye shadow, but if you do, use a light shade to add to your fresh look. Sweep one layer for a light shade of color and if you want to intensify, keep on adding layers. For your eye shadow to last longer during the day and night, mix a drop of water. To darken the rims of your eyes, use eyeliner. There are many shades to choose from. The best way to put on eyeliner is by using a brush and some water, the eyeliner will glide smoothly and last longer. If you are really press for time, forget the eye shadow and eyeliner and go for the mascara. If you have time, curl your eyelashes. By applying mascara, it opens up your eyes and you look awake. I recommend you using two coats of mascara and make sure there are no clumps by combing it out.

Color on your lip is absolutely essential next to applying mascara. If you are lipstick person, make sure you line your lips with a lip liner before you apply your lipstick. For the best results, put some loose powder on your lips with a fluffy brush. This will make your lipstick last longer, and then use a lip brush to apply your lipstick. For a light and fresh look, lip gloss is excellent and you don’t have to fumble with a lip liner. Blush is key essential in your daily makeup. By just adding a touch of blush to your cheeks, it will make you look refreshed and glowing.

During the day, you should have a light made up look, but if you are planning to go out for a night of fun, intensify your makeup! With the existing makeup you already have on, just touch up. Make sure your foundation isn’t running or if any blemishes have popped up. Reapply another coat of mascara is a good idea and intensify your blush as well. You can jazz up your look with intensifying your eye shadow. For a darker and more intensified look, add another layer of eye shadow. But if you are going for a different look, I suggest you put a very dramatic eye shadow for a little bit of fun. Highlight your eyebrow and make sure you don’t have any eyebrow strays. You can also play up your lips with a brighter and bolder color.

To keep your makeup in tact whether for the rest of day or evening, use a fluffy brush and loose powder and gently sweep it over the surface of your face. Another great tip to keep your lipstick on is by using the same technique, but using it before you apply your lipstick. Makeup is a great for sprucing up your tired look in the morning. And if you are not tired, it is great just to feel and look great about yourself. With a few simple tips and a little bit of practice, you will look fabulous everyday without taking a chunk load of your time!
