Enhancing your natural features

It's no secret that we as women love make-up. It certainly makes, and let us feel and look good.

I’m not a make-up artist but have the basic essentials and knowledge on how to apply it so that it can enhance my features and cover up a few flaws. I don’t wear a lot of make-up, my make-up routine takes about 5 minutes or less each morning. 

I apply mascara, a little bronzer and some eye shadow, I would finish off the look with lip gloss or natural lipstick.

Weekends I don’t wear any make-up, I normally use this time to let my face breathe. 
Have you noticed that people who wear eye pencil every day,  the day they haven't applied eye pencil, you can immediately notice the difference. Their appearance comes a across as if the person is looking ill, the face appears bleak.

I'm not against make up, on the contrary, I love it – and I am a keen collector of makeup, even if I don’t get apply everything that’s stacked up in my makeup cabinet, but I like to keep it simple. I also don’t have a lot of time in the morning to apply loads of products.

Find your favorite facial feature and capitalize it. But don't overdo it if you go one day without all the makeup everybody will notice.

Feel good, feel pretty and that's what the world will see. If you feel ugly, that's what people will see. Try to look as good as you can. There are ways to live in beauty without being obsessive about it.

You can never go wrong with perfectly groomed brows. Fill in your brows with a pencil, then comb them upward for a polished look.
Wash, tone and moisturize your face. Good  makeup always starts with fresh skin. Don’t forget to drink lots of water to plump the skin from the inside. If you are dehydrated, your skin will look and feel dry too.

Apply BB cream with your fingers for a more natural look,  instead of using heavy foundation. Find a cream blush that matches your skin’s natural flush.

Give your lashes a one swipe of mascara just to add a little contrast not bringing to much drama to the eyes.

Polish off your no-makeup look with a dash of lip gloss.
Don’t forget  apply your sunscreen beforehand.
