They don’t call December ‘the weekend of the year’
for nothing! Late nights,
lack of sleep and the never-ending festivities
definitely take a toll on our skin for
the next few weeks making it dull, dry
& lifeless! Since looking less than perfect
is just an option I’ve put
together some of my go-to makeup tricks
that will take my face and yours,
from fatigued to fabulous, in a matter of minutes
even on the worst days!
‘You look exhausted’ is the last thing I want to hear
the next morning but my dark circles and puffiness
always give it away! I prefer not to layer on a
full face of makeup and instead just go in
with a light layer of concealer in the areas
that require some attention - like my under eyes,
around the nose and the mouth. A full-coverage
concealer like the Maybelline New York
Fit Me Concealer effortlessly cancels out
any discoloration and redness on my face
instantly making me look fresher and more put together!
Choose a concealer that is the exact shade of your skin
tone so it blends in seamlessly
without the use of foundation!
I’ve noticed that when I’m feeling tired it immediately
reflects on my skin taking it from a healthy
golden glow to a sunken pale tone!
My secret to instantly brightening
and bring back the color to my face is a pigmented
powder blush like the Maybelline New York Fit Me Blush
I load up my fluffy brush and generously coat the
apples of my cheeks, while pulling the blush lightly
back towards the temples. I always
choose a rosy pink or shimmery blush
to give my face a vibrant glow all through the day!
Dust a hint of the blush
onto the bridge of your nose as well for that overall
flushed look!
A makeup product
like the Maybelline New York Master Chrome Highlighter
is an instant pick-me-up on days when I’m
extremely tired and sleepy as
it gives my skin a lustrous glow in just a few swipes!
I sparingly dust on this richly pigmented product
onto my cheekbones, chin,
cupid’s bow and under the arch of my brow.
Just a little bit of it is enough to highlight my
inner corner to make me look glowing and awake!
Avoid using silver highlighters as they leave
behind a white cast, instead
pick gold-toned ones as they perfectly
complements our rich Indian skin.
If you’re going to spend the morning rubbing away the sleep
from your eyes a water and
smudge-proof black liner like Maybelline New York’s Line Tattoo
High Impact Liner is a must-have!
It’s going to stay put through the course of the day and
even make your eyes look more defined and awake!
I start by drawing a thin line from the inner corner
and finish it off with a thin flick!
Achieving the perfect wing can be a task,
so use a small flat brush and some makeup
remover to clean and sharpen the edges!
For me, my puffy eyes always give away the fact
that I haven’t got enough sleep the night before and
the only thing that can take my face from drab to fab
is my favourite mascara!
I keep going back to Maybelline New York’s Hyper Curl Mascara
because it gives me a long-lasting curl
and volume in just a few swipes making my
eyes look more defined and bigger!
Going in with a light coat of this flake-free mascara on your lower lashes
as well is instantly going to make you look
more awake!
Probably the best makeup tip I could give you guys,
is pull the focus
away from the concern areas of your face
and push it onto those that you wish to flaunt!
When my skin isn’t at it’s best I always
reach for bold lipsticks as a bright pout
will automatically make you look more put together.
Maybelline New York’s Sensational Liquid Matte Lipstick
range has some of my staple shades for
these situations. I just need one swipe
of this lightweight, long-lasting lipstick and it
stays in place all day!
Vibrant shades will make your lips appear naturally fuller
while darker shades make them look smaller!
With these makeup staples and tricks, you’re going to look
fresh, beautiful and always put together,
come what may! So go ahead and have fun at
all the parties, events and
weddings that you’ve been invited to!
