Every morning is a struggle with time, especially if you have an important meeting or morning meeting. However, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style for speed. The secret to easy and stylish makeup lies in a few simple and quick steps that will help you look flawless without spending a lot of time.
Skin preparation
The first step is moisturizing. To make your makeup last longer, start with a light moisturizer or primer. This will not only give your skin a fresh look, but will also help your makeup “sit” on your face seamlessly throughout the day. If your skin tends to be oily, choose a primer with a mattifying effect. For dry skin, go for moisturizing textures.
Light coverage: foundation or BB cream
For morning makeup, a light coverage that evens out skin tone and conceals imperfections without weighing down your face is ideal. Use a light-textured foundation or BB cream. These products apply quickly and look natural. Simply spread the product over your face with your fingers or a brush, not forgetting the eye area.
Eyebrows and eyes
Accentuate your eyebrows with gel or pencil for a natural but neat look. For the eyes, choose a neutral shadow such as light beige or pink, which will make your eyes look fresh and light. Apply some on the movable eyelid, blending it out so that there are no harsh lines.
If you have a little time, emphasize your lashes with mascara, choosing a product with a volumizing effect for more expressive eyes. But don’t overload your lashes with too thick a layer – just one is enough.
Blush and highlighter
To create a natural glow, apply blush to the apples of your cheeks. This will give your face a healthy look and add freshness. If you want extra sparkle, use a light highlighter on your cheekbones and along your nose line – it will create the effect of a healthy, glowing face.
Lightly accent your lips
For lips, use a moisturizing balm with a light tint or a long-lasting tint. It will give your lips a fresh look, but won’t require constant touch-ups throughout the day. Go for neutral shades such as peach or pink, which will go with any look.
The finishing touch
Don’t forget a makeup fixer to help extend the staying power of your makeup throughout the day. A light spray will help fix all the layers of makeup and give your skin a fresh look.
Conclusion
Light makeup for mornings is not only a matter of time, but also of self-confidence. Just 10-15 minutes and you’re ready for a productive day without overloading your face with tons of makeup. Using basic products such as moisturizer, light foundation, blush and mascara, you can create a stylish and natural look that will emphasize your personality and style.
