5-MINUTE MAKEUP SCHOOL – How to Apply Foundation

By Leave a Comment · Affiliate Disclosure Policy

I recently changed up my foundation routine and started using a stick foundation.  I actually love it.  On those days when I need to get my face together fast and run out the door, the stick really does the job and FAST.  Now when I have more time (like in my recent makeover), I still like to use a liquid foundation.  I think the coverage and finish is just a bit superior to the stick foundation.  Whether you use a stick, cream or liquid foundation, you want it to look good.  So this week we are learning the best way to apply foundation.  Here is our 5-Minute Makeup Lesson for the week – Foundation. how to apply foundation

I don’t see it on the calendar but this must be wedding season or something.  In the last month I have attended two weddings or receptions.  Anyway, I love using events as an opportunity to pamper myself with a makeup makeover.  So in the last month I have treated myself to two.  Today I want to let you know how to schedule, what to expect, what I loved, what went wrong and whether it was worth it.

Are you like me?  Do you stress and strain to get a pair of eyelashes on right before you give up and reach for the mascara?  I had just about convinced myself that eyelashes just weren’t for me.  So many times I have tried and failed.  I honestly think I only got them on right once and even then I only got one on.  Well no more!  Today we are tackling false eyeslashes.  How to get them on well and FAST.  So here is our 5-Minute Makeup Lesson for the week – Lashes.  how to apply eyelashes fast

5-MINUTE MAKEUP SCHOOL: Eyebrows

By Leave a Comment · Affiliate Disclosure Policy

So here’s what happened, it was my anniversary night and I was rushing after work to get ready. I threw on my dress and got my make up on.  I remember thinking it sure would be nice to put on some eyeshadow like they did in my recent makeover. But oh well no time for that.
I managed to pull it all together and thought I looked pretty good.  As I headed out the door I had no idea that my eyebrows were crooked and weren’t even filled in.
The pictures looked OK from that night but I knew I could have done a little bit better. If only I had had a few more minutes. That’s when I realized that maybe I needed to take five minutes and give myself a makeup lesson. So I thought I might as well share the lessons with you.  And that’s how the 5-minute make up lesson was born. Real story.

more than one foundation

I have to admit, I started this post simply to justify the number of foundations I own.  After my hairdresser accused me of not having enough self control, I thought I might see just why I did have so many foundations.  Was I merely buying different ones to find the best one for me or did I really have a need for more than one foundation.  In the effort to put your best face forward, is there a reason to have more than one foundation? Let’s investigate!  more than one foundation[Read More]
