ONE-MINUTE MAKEOVERS
Got a minute? Then you've got time for a makeover!
IF YOU HAVE FAIR SKIN:
Since fair skin tends to be sensitive, apply a moisturizer or foundation with SPF 15. If you want to even out your complexion, place a dot of light foundation on each cheek (just under your eyes) and blend out with fingers. Try Revlon New Complexion foundation.
Brush on a peach colored blush. If you're very fair, sweep this onto your eyelids as well. Try Jane blush in Blushing Copper.
Swipe on a coat of brown or black mascara, to open up your eyes and make you look more awake. Try Maybelline Great Lash Mascara.
Use a sheer berry lipgloss to enhance your natural lip color. Try Neutrogena Moisture Shine Gloss in Glam.
IF YOU HAVE ROSY SKIN:
Apply a concealer the same shade as your natural skin tone, under your eyes and on top of any blemishes. Try Cover Girl Smoothers Concealer.
Using your finger, blend a gel blush in a berry shade onto the apples of your cheeks. Try Neutrogena Shimmer Sheers All Over Color in Charmed.
Brush brown mascara onto your upper and lower lashes to make eyes stand out.
If your lips are rosy, apply clear gloss. If not, use a tinted balm to keep them moist and add a touch of color. Try Aveda Lip Tint.
IF YOU HAVE OLIVE SKIN:
Apply a tinted moisturizer to your entire face. This will provide sheer coverage to balance your complexion and add needed moisture. Try Marcelle Tinted Moisturizer, or Philosophy The Present Clear Makeup.
To counteract undereye circles, dab a yellow-toned concealer under your eyes and blend. Try Origins Concealer in Golden.
Press loose powder on top of the concealer and onto any areas of your face that tend to get shiny (such as your nose or forehead). Try Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish Powder in Pale Yellow.
Slick on a sheer berry or plum tinted lipstick. Try Maybelline Lip Polish Hi-Shine Color in Mauvie Star.
IF YOU HAVE DARK SKIN:
Use your fingers or a sponge to apply oil-free foundation only where you need it. This will even out your complexion. Try Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-Free Makeup.
Set the foundation with powder that is the same color as your skin. Avoid so called "transluscent" powders, as they may be too light for you.
Brush a brownish-red blush onto the apples of your cheeks. Try Max Factor Natural Brush-On Satin Blush in Mulberry.
Use a coffee of copper-colored gloss to bring out the drama in your lips. Try Neutrogena Moisture Shine Gloss in Pout.
