We’ve all had those days…we wake up and look in the mirror and feel about 100 years old. Our skin is pale and saggy. We look drawn and tired. What can we do in about 60 seconds to change it?
First, revive your skin: Take a warm (near hot) washcloth and press it into your face for about 10 seconds. Then, use it to exfoliate/slough off any dry skin by buffing it around your face for a few seconds. Be gentle, but really give yourself a good buffing. This will immediately give you a rosy glow and give your skin a nice, smooth finish.
Second, get your best moisturizer (the stuff you only use on special occassions) and rub it in your palms (add a drop of self-tanner/bronzer if you have it). Spread this on your face with patting motions (use your palm and fingers to pat it into your face vs. just slathering it on). This will give you a plump-skin look.
Third, let the moisturizer dry for a few seconds (brush your teeth, gargle, brush hair, etc.). Then, when it’s dry, take a bit of powder bronzer and sweep it all over your face. Use a LIGHT touch! You just need a hint of color–plus you don’t want a lot of powder when your skin isn’t at its best. Just use a bit for color. Then take a tiny bit of bright (pink, coral) blush onto your brush and swirl it into the apple of your cheek. This will immediatley make you look alive.
If you’ve got the time, you can add lipstick, use Visine (great for brightening your eyes), curl your lashes and add mascara plus a drop of off-white eyeshadow on your lids (no shimmer) for extra verve.
These few things always work for me and are quick and easy. They will definitely make you look like you’re rested and ready-to-go (even if you don’t feel it).
