8 Smarter Ways To Put On Your Makeup

8 Smarter Ways To Put On Your Makeup

We put on makeup every morning, probably using the same routine we’ve used for years. We have it set to a science, but is our science the best we can be? We can be saving time and energy by doing our makeup smarter – and it’s often easier than you may think!

Prep the skin:

Preparing the skin is a must before you apply any type of foundation. This means starting with Younique's Illuminate Face Wash to clean your face to get any residue and dirt off your face. After washing your face apply Younique's Glorious Face and Eye Primer, and allow it to set a minute. Taking these steps prior to foundation will ensure your skin is both protected, clean and smoother with less visible pores and fine lines. Primer will keep foundation from settling in to fine lines, extend time between touch-ups as well as hide larger pores.

The power of powder:

Younique's Touch Pressed Powder is the great equalizer if you’ve applied too much eyeshadow or blush. Blend away a bit of the excess and pat on some pressed powder. It will take the edge off the color and soften it. This also works well if your brow filler looks too dark or too warm.

Order matters:

Apply lipstick or Younique's Gluten Free Lucrative Lipgloss first and then add your lip liner. Once lipstick is applied you can see exactly where you need the lip liner. Bonus: The two will fade together instead of leaving you with that “ring around the lips”!

Applying our Moodstruck Mineral Eye Pigments first before foundation can be a great clean up time saver and be smarter as well. If dramatic eyes are your thing, you know the shadow can be messy! Apply the entire eye look first, use a facial wipe to clean up & then your foundation and the rest of your makeup. It’s faster, and no worries of darker eye pigments accidentally mixing into your concealer or foundation! Another smart tip for eye pigments and liner, use a strip of paper medical tape (at most drugstores for about $4) and apply it on outer edge of eyes in a slanted direction from mid-point of lower lashes to temple. Paper medical tape is gentler than regular tape to the delicate eye area.

Clean up, don’t give up:

If you’ve applied too much foundation, no need to remove it all. Simply grab a cotton ball and buff away the excess by tapping over it in circular motions. The excess foundation ends up on the cotton and what’s left behind is buffed to a natural finish.

Blending is key:

If you struggle to create a smooth line with eyeliner, apply the liner first (on upper lash line) then add eye pigment powder, blending the shadow on your lids right into the liner. No one will be able to tell where the eye shadow ends and the line begins, so the eye liner will look perfect! PS....did I mention that Younique's Precision Eye Liners are NO SMUDGE!!

Mix and match:

If you bought a foundation or concealer that is too light for your complexion, don’t toss it. Add an apricot or nude blush or a light bronzer and it will warm up the color to make it match your complexion.

Perfect lips:

Try using Younique's NO SMUDGE Precision Lip Liner as your lip color. Line outer lips and fill in with same color. Add a swipe of gloss or lip balm and your done! Lasts for HOURS and totally KISSABLE too!

TIP: Get the Angelina full, seductive lip look by lining your lips how the picture above is displayed with Younique’s Pouty Lip Liner followed by some Luxe Lip Gloss over the top. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

General Information

Moodstruck Mineral-Based Concealer Powders provide a flawless, naturally luminous finish that can be used wet or dry while feeling as if you aren't wearing any makeup at all. It looks like a powder, feels like silk, and provides a flawless, lightweight, matte-finish coverage. To experience optimal results, first apply Younique's Glorious Face & Eye Primer all over your face prior to using concealers.

As a Wet Foundation

Use wet for highlighting and contouring and as a lightweight foundation that doesn't feel caked on. Use to hide small flaws and discolorations. Tap a sufficient amount of concealer into the lid and using your Concealer Brush (wet) collect concealer on your brush and apply directly to your skin in the area you are trying to cover.

As a Translucent Finishing and Sculpting Powder

Use dry for highlighting and contouring and for blending, smoothing, and preventing face "shine." Use over BB Cream or Touch Cream Foundation. Tap a sufficient amount of concealer into the lid and using your Powder Puff Brush (dry) collect concealer on your brush and apply directly to your skin.

Moodstruck Mineral-Based Concealers are also excellent as natural eye shadow colours for those ladies who prefer a more natural or sun kissed look.

Younique’s BB Flawless Complexion Enhancer Review (BB Cream)

 

What girl doesn’t want to shorten her beauty routine, especially in the morning, right? You wash your face, apply moisturizer, primer, treat any blemishes, and all of that happens before you even put on your makeup! What if you could shorten the steps?


BB Creams

BB creams (short for beauty balms or blemish balms) are all the rage and have been for some time now! It’s the perfect hybrid for makeup and skincare all in one! As with all makeup and skin care, finding the right BB cream for you can be a challenge. You don’t want one that’s too heavy. Or too sheer. Or cakey. Or one that doesn’t provide the right coverage you need. You want the perfect balance of moisturizer, SPF, skin treatment, and foundation in one tube.

When BB creams first came out, I admit that I was a bit nervous to try one. I have really sensitive skin and was nervous that some of the ingredients that help with acne might irritate my skin, causing me to break out in a huge and painful rash. (It has happened before, I might add.) I was also skeptical of one beauty product that promised to do it all. One product. It seemed a little too good to be true kind of thing.

The issue with my face is that I have a lot of redness, tend to break out with acne (which have left nice scars [blemishes] on my face) and this is one of the main reasons I wanted to try BB cream… to even out my skin tone and cover up a little of the redness & scars.


BB Cream – My Review and Results

I heard great things about Younique's BB Flawless Complexion Enhancer.  When I tried it out, I was very happy with the results. I washed my face in the morning, put on the o’ so silky Glorious Face and Eye Primer, and then applied a thin layer of the BB Flawless Complexion Enhancer on my bare face. The redness & scars were immediately reduced. I felt like my skin tone was balanced.

What I liked best about Younique’s BB FlawlessComplexion Enhancer is that it’s lightweight. I never felt like my face had too much makeup on or that it was heavy on my face. Since I never wear anything more than powder and moisturizer, I wanted to keep the same lightness that I was used to wearing and Younique’s BB Flawless Complexion Enhancer

produced that for sure.

Some of the best features of the BB Flawless Complexion Enhancer is that there is a built-in SPF and tinted moisturizer. I am very conscious of protecting my skin from the sun’s harmful rays and the SPF gave me the reassurance that I would be protected with a tinted glow. Apply this all-in-one moisturizer, treatment and foundation as a single step cream to immediately balance the skin, correct it's completion and protect it's youthful appearance. This multitasking cream perfects, protects and works beautifully as a light weight foundation on it's own. It provides a flawless appearance and fights shine to give a natural looking matte finish. Consider it your skin's new best friend. But wait what do we do first before we apply this!! We prime with Glorious!

All in all, I am impressed with it and like that it does so many things in one step. It cuts my morning routine in half, which is awesome and makes me have to rush around less. Who doesn’t want that?! My face feels protected and youthful still, while minimizing the redness, scars and giving me a natural look. I’m sold on Younique’s BB Flawless Complexion Enhancer and would recommend it to everyone! You won’t be disappointed!
