Hello again Beauties!
Spring certainly has arrived even though it's still pretty chilly and rainy here in Chicago! We all need to be on top of our game, and ready at any time! In my previous post I talked about perfecting our facial skin to get it to its healthiest, nourished looking, but we can't forget about the rest of our beauty regimen.
Get Organized : Stay on top of....well pretty much everything! SPRING CLEANING! Find a good organizational set up for everything including jewelry, makeup, clothes, accessories, etc. That way when you're just sitting around with nothing to do on a beautiful day and last minute plans arise its easier to run out the door. Plus it just makes everything look so much more pretty!
Fake A Tan : After a long winter season your skin has missed the sunlight and the best way to get some color back into it is with a self - tanner. Their are tons out there. Find the one that works best for you and apply it after you have showered and exfoliated. If you want more color in your face as well look for a separate one formulated for facial skin, don't forget to exfoliate your face too!
Perfect Your Pout : Don't forget to exfoliate your lips! ...yes your lips too! I won't sit here and say that I put together a special lip concoction and work it into my regimen weekly, but when I do use my facial scrub twice a week I work that into my lips as well. Also apply lip balm religiously! My favorite spring look is a neutral eye and a bright pout and you don't want to be rocking a flaky lip, now that is NOT sexy!
Clean Your Brushes : Always make sure your brushes are clean, especially if you're acne - prone. During the warmer seasons when our skin is exposed to more sun and eh... we're all a lot more sweaty you don't want to add dirty brushes to up the chances of breakouts.
Define Your Brows : As I stated above, my favorite spring look is a natural face and a pretty bright lip. When I'm wearing very minimal makeup I like to make sure my brows are perfectly groomed, it just makes the look come together better. Pick up some brow powder and gel or wax to help define your color and keep your brows in place. I have been loving nyx eyebrow cake powder. It comes conveniently in a little compact with everything you need and its easy for on the go as well. The best part about it is its only $5.99. I usually get mine at Ulta here's the link to the one I use every day.
Fruits and Veggies : What it comes down to is healthy lifestyle choices. For nourished skin we need to consume produce regularly which naturally contain, antioxidants and vitamins that we need to keep skin fresh, try a smoothie for breakfast or juice your veggies for on the go!
Glowing Complexion : To create a subtle glow, try out face shimmers. Also use a tinted moisturizer or a bb cream in place of your usual thicker foundation. Try out a cream blush and apply liquid luminizer to your cheekbones, cupids bow and arch of your brows.
Drink More Water : Did I really just mention this back to back?? YES! Ladies I can not stress this enough it is essential for beautiful skin, bottom line. So drink as much as you can.
Be ready to strut your stuff as soon as the warm weather emerges!
Talk to you all soon!
