I'm a minimalist when it comes to make-up. Actually, anything that will add more time to my morning routine is just a no go for me. I have a hard enough time getting the two of us ready and out the door on time...Who in the HELL has to time to wash the face, dry, apply primer, then foundation, then...then...then! No siree.
But, things have changed. I am single...and yes, on the market so to speak, so now, more than ever, I need to pay attention to my appearance. I mean, what good is inner beauty if I can't attract them with "outer" beauty, right? So, here is my make-up routine that I can do daily in about five minutes or less and this actually works. I get compliments. From men and women! And, my biggest critic of all, my Zavy.
1) St. Ives Apricot Scrub- I uses this at least 2x a week to wash away all impurities. Well, maybe not all. But it does make my skin look and feel good.
2) Tinted Moisturizer- This is great because I don't use foundation. I use Mary Kay's tinted moisturizer with spf 15. So, I'm protected and I get just the right amount of tint that actually hides whatever blemishes I may have! BRILLIANT! I swear by this. Almost every make-up brand has a tinted moisturizer. BUY IT.
3) Maybeline Triple lash mascara. This is pretty self explanatory. Makes your lashes look lush :-)
4) E.L.F. Bronzer- Bronzers give your skin a lift. They provide a little glow and can make you look like you've got a nice little tan. It's a great investment that only costs $1! How about that???
5) Lip Gloss- I prefer gloss to matte lipstick. I use cover girl lip glosses in a few different shades, depending on whatever mood I'm in.
With those five products, I really have a well put together look. It's not MAC or Bobbi Brown, but they work just as well. And, if I have learned anything in the past six years since being a mom, is STICK WITH WHAT WORKS!!!
Toodles!
