The face of fashion This fall, the freshest face won't come easy. You will want to hit the snooze button, cuddle a little longer, and sleep in, toasty under the covers.
Getting yourself to look awake and gorgeous fast requires a few fancy tricks, and there are a few things you can do to make sure you don't arrive anywhere looking like you just rolled out of bed. You'll need a few tools and a few techniques.
Eyes - Your eyes are the most telling. Take care of them quick.
- Sweep those bits of sleep from your eyes and splash them with cool water.
- If you need to depuff, make some tea, and place the cool tea bag on your eyes for a minute.
- Dab a bit of concealer or tinted moisturizer (dab, don't rub!) on those under-eye circles.
- Curl your eyelashes. This can make eyes open up.
- Put white eyeliner on your lower lid and the inner and outer corners of your eyes. It makes eyes wider and more awake.
- Drink something eye-popping to rouse you, like a mug of tea or hot chocolate.
Cheeks - Puffy cheeks are not a good look! Avoid it.
- Depuff with that teabag and clean out your pores with cleanser.
- Pat on some moisturizer to smoothen.
- Your cheeks will really glow with a dusting of blush along your cheeks. If you don't usually wear blush, give it a try once. You'll be hooked.
Hair - Bed-head is not the look you're going for. Try, instead:
- De-pouf hair with a frizz-reducing styling cream or just a dab of moisturizer between your palms.
- Brush out or style hair if you don't have time to wash.
- When all else fails, a low ponytail gelled in place will look sleek and chic.
Lips - Luckily morning lips are nice and puffy. The best part!
- Make best use of your morning shower or face wash by rubbing your lips gently with a towel to remove dead skin.
- Line and lipstick and blot if you wish, but don't forget the spf chapstick.
- Floss and brush and mouthwash. Nice white teeth can't miss.
- Whatever makeup you wear, don't forget the gloss, especially in the middle of your bottom lip. It will make that pout appear fuller and more sexy.
After all this, put your best face forward. Your face should match you, not your clothes. And you need an attitude to match as well. So smile and show off those pearly whites. You can awaken with some fresh air and a brisk pace.
