Makeup Done Yourself In Just A Few Minutes

It’s Friday, and all of a sudden your co-workers ask you to go out for a drink.  But……..you’re not feeling like your makeup is nighttime ready.  So, what’s a girl to do?  How do you go from daytime to evening in just a few minutes? Here are some beauty basics to carry in your makeup bag to make it quick and simple:

1:  Always have a black eyeliner to define the eyes.  Now some people may feel black is too dark or too harsh but when used correctly it will make your lashes look thicker and more dramatic.  This effect is called tight lining and with a bit of practice, it is so quick and easy to do.  Tilt your head back while looking into a mirror, and run the eyeliner in between your lashes for a dramatic effect.
2:  Carry a dark smoky eyeshadow colour such as a dark matte brown or a charcoal to define the natural crease of the eye and blend it outwards a bit for a smoky eye look.
 3:  Carry a powder in your purse such as Merle Norman Cosmetics Ultra Powder Foundation.  This is an easy way to have an all over refreshed complexion.  A powdered foundation can be used with a dry sponge for a matte look, or slightly moisten the sponge for a more dewy finish. 4:  Neutral cheek colours such as a mocha tone are perfect to carry as they will work with any lip colour.  For a quick day to evening transformation just increase the intensity of the shade.
5:  Add your favourite lip shade and you’re ready for that night out with friends.  Red is always a fantastic evening shade, but a lot of women are not comfortable with red shades.  An easy way to tone down a bright red is to first line your lips with a softer brown toned lip liner, fill in the lip lightly with the liner colour, then use your red lipstick.  But, if you love red then be BOLD!
