When you’re a woman on the go, doing it all, it is easy to let yourself go. It is easy to justify that you want to be known for who you are and not what you look like. It’s great not to be wrapped up in the superficial, but you feel better when you know you look great. It’s not always possible to do full hair and makeup, but here are some tips that you can do in your car before going into a meeting or at your desk, if you get to work before your co-workers.
Start with a Great Foundation
Foundation covers up any imperfection and gives your skin a nice even tone. Most make-up experts would cringe if you didn’t moisturize first, but this is make up on the go! If you don’t have time to moisturize or put on foundation, at least use some concealer for any blemishes and under your eyes to reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles.
Mascara is a Must
For me, mascara is a must. It opens the eyes, no matter how tired you are. It is quick, easy and if you have time for nothing else, it is the one cosmetic that can pull you together the quickest with the least amount of effort.
Double Duty Lipstick
Use a subtle lipstick to give you some color and liven you up. It can be used in a pinch for cheek color, as well! I often use it when I’m a little pale, but don’t have my full bag of tricks with me. A little goes a long way, though!
Hopefully you either have time to be well put together at all times or have great skin and need minimal or no make up. But, if you’re like the rest of us, hopefully these few tips will give you some options when you’re running late or stuck with only a few cosmetics and not your full bag of miracle serums, powders, creams, etc.
