The 10 Minute Face

Contrary to what some may believe, it is possible to "Give Good Face" in just 10 minutes! Some of you recently requested quick and easy ways to add make-up to your daily routine. Below are 6 steps we call "The 10 Minute Face" - a daily make-up routine that even a beauty novice can expertly execute:

1) Cleanse, Tone, and Moisturize your face - toning and moisturizing are key because toning helps reduce rednesss and remove excess oil/dirt that your cleanser may not have removed; moisturizing is key for hydrating and protecting your skin (via SPF) and helping you achieve a youthful look.

2) Skip or Apply a tinted moisturizer, sheer foundation, or powder to your face.

3) Apply mascara - feel free to curl lashes first if necessary.

4) Apply eyeshadow - we recommend soft neutral shades; lightly sweep some under you lower lash line for added "pop" using a small eyeshadow brush or sponge applicator.

5) Apply blush - lightly sweep blush on cheeks, temples, and chin. Adding a touch to the temples and chin helps give warmth to the face.

6) Apply lipstick, lip pencil, and/or lip gloss - turn your lip pencil into a long-lasting lipstick by coloring the upper and lower lips; apply gloss to add a bit of shine.

That's it! You are ready for the world.
