Spice It Up!

Spice Up Every Day Looks!

When I first started wearing make-up, I used the same old four or five products every day.  They were always the same colors from the same companies.  I liked to stick to the natural look.   I would not try anything new.  I would look at celebs on TV and wish I knew how to do my make up like that!  So I decided to make a change.

One of the easiest ways to start off with changing it up is to use different colored eyeliners.  If you always use black, try brown eyeliner.  You will be surprised how much it will soften your eye look and look totally different.  I also love to use deep purple liners.  If you have brown eyes, it makes them pop.  I also like using navy and silver eye liners.  Don’t be afraid of different color liners, they will always add a pop to your everyday routine.  Money Saving Tip: Buy the smallest size eyeliners.  There is no sense in buying a full size liner unless it is in a black or brown, or a color you will use every day.

Another way to spice up that everyday look is to use a bold blush.  I like using hot pink blushes. They just add a pop to color.  Of course, blush is tricky because you want to be sure to not put on too much so you don’t look bad, but you also want to make sure that it shows up just enough.  I suggest that you lightly sweep it on, and always checking to make sure that you haven’t overdone it.  Of course, if hot pink isn’t for you; pick a blush that is out of your comfort zone.  Money Saving Tip: Buy a bold blush on clearance!  A lot of times at drug stores, certain colors are on sale because people aren’t buying the color.  That way if you don’t like the color, you won’t feel as guilty throwing it away because you didn’t spend a lot of money on it.   

If you aren’t into trying those things, try bright and bold lip colors! From anywhere, any kind!  A lot of companies these days are starting to put out tinted lip balms which are a great alternative option for those who don’t like lipstick or lip gloss.  For the longest time I would only use peach colored lip glosses.  I finally started venturing into deep pinks and reds.  And now I will wear almost everything (as long as it looks good on me).  A lip color can make you look like you have a full face of make up on when all you did was apply a lip color.  Money Saving Tip: As I mentioned with the blushes, buy these lip colors when they are on sale.  Target is always having great sales on lip colors.  Also, E.L.F. (eyeslipsface.com or at Target) is a good place to start experimenting with different colors because they go from start at $1.

Don’t be afraid to try different things in make-up.  Stores like CVS and Rite Aid have policies so you can return an item if you don’t like it or if it’s the wrong color.  Different make-up can make you feel bolder, more confident, more feminine, and even make you smile more.   Also be sure to take advantage of samples, samples, samples!  They are the best way to try new things before you ever buy the full size of a product.

You are all naturally beautiful!! The only two things you need to be off the charts gorgeous is that smile and confidence!
