Another cheek color trick is using a gel or stain on lips.
The rosy glow of the tint will give a natural flush to lips.
Conversely, creamy lip color can be applied to the cheeks with a
dampened cosmetic sponge. Care should be taken with shades
to avoid too bright color all over the face.
Clear mascara is a lifesaver for a finished look without
looking overly made up. It works to set the lashes and keep
powders from eye shadow from falling into lashes. The same
trick works with eyebrows, making sure your eye-opening arch
stays put all day. A little hairspray on an eyebrow brush will
also do the trick, says Barragato.
Some of the old standbys are still in place, she says. For
puffy, sleepless night eyes, a dab of Preparation H will help
reduce swelling and help fake a few hours of sleep. This trick
is widely used in the modeling industry. A quick line of white
eyeliner along the inner lash line will also brighten eyes. The
white reflects against the whites of the eyes making them seem
brighter.
Barragato says that a lot of products that claim to be
double duty are simply the same colors in different packaging.
“If you’re savvy and realize that they are marketing the whole
kit and caboodle, you can save yourself a little money in the
process,” she says.
Your morning ritual doesn’t have to be stressful. All it takes
is a couple of glasses of water and some smart uses of color and
pretty soon, your face will be polished and professional, with a
couple of minutes to spare for some extra shut-eye. Two goals
accomplished!
