When in a time pinch, or for those who feel intimidated by shadow and liner, the answer is to focus on brightening your complexion with a few quick moves: (10 min, tops) highlighter on inner tear ducts, under brow bone and in the middle of your lid, concealer under the eyes, Swipe on blush to the apples of cheeks followed by bronzer on temples, cheek hollows and sides of nose. Curl your lashes, add mascara. Grooming your brows by filling in and taming with brow gel. This makes 10x more impact than spending your limited time on a time consuming smokey eye. I promise.

No curling iron? No problem.
Wrap offending straight lock around your finger tip, slide off, and pin against scalp. Spray with a maximum hold hairspray and allow to dry. Remove bobby pin after several minutes - enjoy your boingy new curl.

Random share: My new fitness motto.
Unless you puke, faint or die, keep going. A no excuses attitude makes all the difference when striving for new fitness goals and has successfully pushed me through a pesky little plateau. Also - kettlebell training rocks my world and I highly recommend!

There used to be a show in the mid 90s on Lifetime called, I think, The Wire that had has a segment about contouring, and for years I've tried to remember how it was done. (Of course on can guess certain features like the nose.) I have been thinking of doing a feature on my Gibson girl blog about the advice given for blush application to Edwardian ladies -- they didn't have a separate contour cosmetic, they just used the rouge in various spots about the face.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, with me, I don't benefit much from contouring around my nose because because its more round shape actually seems to fit my face better than a long point.
