Fresh-Faced & Radiant

Sunday, February 5, 2012


Like any other girl my age, I am obviously no stranger to makeup.  Personally, it’s my favorite part of putting together a look for the day.  It’s so fun to try on different styles, colors and shades for different occasions.  Even though I do sometimes love to wear a really dramatic look, my favorite makeup palette for an everyday wear is to just go simple.

A mistake that I think a lot of girls make, is wearing heavy black eyeliner all over their eyes. I personally think eyes are what makes someones whole face, so the key is to highlight and enhance your best feature, not hide it behind dark makeup. It’s so much nicer to look at a clean, fresh looking face than a messy smudge under your eyes.  Using a really good mascara will help to brighten your eyes, and you’ll notice as it really changes your whole face.

All you really need for a fresh faced everyday look are three products:  foundation to create a smooth canvas, mascara to add volume and length to the lashes, and blush to give a rosy flush to your cheeks.

So when you’re getting ready for school or work on Monday morning, try skipping the eyeliner for the day. Replace it with a simple lip color, like a rosy red or a soft pink.  Adding this pop of color to your lips in place of the black around your eyes will create a balance throughout your face, and make a huge difference. It might take a while to adjust if you’re used to seeing yourself with dark eyes, but give it a few days, and I can guarantee you’ll love your look so much better.
