HURRY HURRYYou wanna get out the door with your best face forward in 3 minutes flat…not 5 right? We’re telling you yes you can, no matter if it’s eau natural or glam, kids hanging on your leg or cell phone ringing off the hook.
But before we get to how to get it done, let’s look at some TIPS that will help speed the process BEFORE you even try.
BE PREPARED
Prepare you say? Yes, we say prepare, because it’s the lack of the right tools, or a mish mosh makeup drawer that will eat your time like a hungry dieter. Keeping your beauty arsenal organized along with the right tools, like high quality makeup brushes will make getting out the door a lot quicker. Here are a few tips that are a cinch to keep you prepared.
1.)
KEEP IT NEAT
Most of us have day looks and night looks. Even the fashion industry, who can push the envelope a bit more with more drama during the day, still have day and night transition looks, so organize yourself in that way. Bag, drawer, or purse, you need to separate everything neatly and make it easily reachable. Try using sock drawer organizers in your drawer, or separate makeup bags, and delegate a space for each look. Grab a cute vase to use as a space for your daily essentials that cross over from day to night….like mascara and eyeliner. Whatever you do, don’t put electric blue mascara in your essentials group. Items such as mascara, brown and black liner and maybe makeup remover are all that should occupy that space.
2.)
GET THE RIGHT WEAPONSWe’re talking makeup brushes! If you want to look like your face was done by a pro, or even close to it, you need to use what the pros use and that’s makeup brushes. Most importantly your makeup will apply effortlessly, colors are truer, the look is fabulous and they last for many many years. Keep your brushes in a pretty jar next to your color arsenal for easy reach. Wash them every 2 weeks with baby shampoo and lay flat to dry and you’ll have these tools for years to come. Mineral makeup is all about brushes for the best application and performance since they are all loose powders, but even traditional makeup will perform better as well. Brushes made from high quality sable, goat and pony hair are great for almost every brush. Taklon, a synthetic bristle, works great for foundation and concealer brushes. If you can’t afford to get them all at once, start with just a few.
3.)
DUMP THE OLD
That mascara you never use, the foundation you splurged on that just doesn’t match, and that broken favorite brown eye shadow needs to go! Mascaras should be dumped every 4 months, along with most eye products. Face colors have a shelf life of 12 months, and if you keep it around any longer than that you’re not using it enough….so dump it! It’s always fun to clean house and replace with new fresh colors and products, so if it’s going to give you a slight tightening of the chest to dump it, shop for their replacements first.
READY….SET…..GO!
You're organized, you're late, and you're still gonna look FAB! Ready? Start the clock!
1.)
CONCEAL: 60 seconds
FOR A LIFTED ILLUMINATED FACE: Apply our Ultimate Foundation 2 shades lighter than your skin tone under your eyes to cover circles and illuminate your eyes and also on the sides of your nose. This application is brightening shadowed areas of the face as well as concealing redness commonly found in these areas.
FOR A FLAWLESS COMPLEXION: Using your Concealer Brush, dab your brush into our Ultimate Foundation to cover breakouts, absorb impurities and reduce inflammation all day. (Hint: NEVER use a lighter tone to cover breakouts or redness; it calls more attention to those problem areas.
2.)
FOUNDATION: 30 seconds
Grab your palette or lid, sprinkle your foundation of choice (Ultimate or Radiance) into the lid/palette and apply with your favorite Fabuki or Long Handle Flat Top Brush, beginning from the jaw line and work inward over your entire face, or to desired areas (Several light layers are better than one quick heavy layer). Don’t forget your lids to remove shine and cover redness.
3.)
CHEEKS : 15 seconds
Smile! Absorb cheek minerals into your Flawless Face Brush, tap off excess and apply to apples of cheeks as you smile. Blend upwards towards temple, swipe across forehead and chin for a Ferro fabulous natural glow.
4.)
EYES: 60 seconds
SHADOW: Using your favorite shadow brush, apply a neutral color from lid to brow on both eyes, ensuring to tap off excess from your brush to prevent falling onto cheeks. To add depth, apply a richer shade into creases.
LINE WITH MINERALS: Using a liner brush, dampen brush with our Eyeliner Sealer or water and add your favorite eyeliner color, trace top of lash line, extending slightly past edge of eye. Use the same color dry under the eye for a bit more richness while still keeping it soft. To add more drama, make the edge line thicker and extend further outward.
5.)
FINISH : 10 Seconds
Dust over entire face or desired areas with Crystal Mineral Veil for an illuminated glow .or Matte Mineral Veil for a soft, diffused airbrushed look.
