Using Foundation to Contour Your Features

By using a darker foundation (maybe 2-3 shades darker than your complexion), you can create shadows on your face to hide or enhance your natural features.

This contouring works best at narrowing features that you think are too wide. To make your whole face appear leaner and narrower, apply the darker shade of foundation around your hairline and under your cheeks.

To narrow down a wide nose, apply your usual foundation on the center of your nose, then run the darker foundation down the sides to enhance the shadowing.

Using Blush to Sculpt Your Face

Blush can really give your face that healthy look, but models know that it can also be used to reduce or enhance your facial features. The judicious use of blush can create contours where there are none, or soften angular features, taking an average face and making it more beautiful.

Lets start with the nose. If yours is too long and narrow, try applying a little blush down the center of your nose. Conversely, if its too wide, try lining it down each side.

It works the same for your face. If you have a wide forehead and small chin, try blending your blush down from your ear to your chin. If your forehead is smaller and your chin larger, blend it up around your eye and across your forehead.

10 Minutes to Beautiful

A busy schedule is one the most perfect excuses that girls use when they start neglecting themselves. How many times have you heard the line, I have no time? Countless right?  But believe it or not, all you need to stay pretty is ten minutes tops.Ready? Here we go:
1. Wash, Tone, And Moisturize. You've heard it time and again, but its true. Following this easy, three-Step Secret can help keep your skin smooth, young and moisturized.  If you move quick enough, five minutes is all you need.  I started using the Mary Kay 3 in 1 cleanser and bundled these 3 steps in one and my skin looks more fabulous than ever.
2. Hair we go. Your hair is there for a reason and it shouldn't be ignored. If you think you won't  have time to be bothered with it, then take three minutes to clear the tangles and put it up in a neat pony. Too short? Slather on some gel or wax to keep every strand in place. A messy mop of hair with no sense of direction? Definitely not pretty.

3. Pink is it. You've already got perfect skin and your hair's in place. So all you need to complete the look is to swab a bit of lip gloss to your lips and some color for your cheeks. A lip and cheek tint would instantly give you a healthy pink glow.  If you can spare an extra minute I would recommend using a light foundation or even a mineral powder foundation that would protect your skin from dust, sun and other elements and at the same time give your skin a flawless look,

As the cliche goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But sometimes, the first person you should be able to convince is no one else but your self. Being beautiful is all about feeling good about what you see in the mirror everyday and being at peace with yourself. But it's also all about knowing the right bits of information that would keep you looking every inch of the beautiful person that you truly are.
