Week One: 2011 Beauty Challenge

This weeks beauty challenge is wearing regular makeup. I know for many women, as we take on more responsability, we tend to do less and less for ourselves. We stop doing our hair, makeup, etc. There just isn't enough time.

So lets try this tip this week!

Either put your moisturizer on then your foundation or apply them together to save time. Pick a color that you could wear on your cheeks, eyes and even lips... like a soft brown to a cranberry pink. Just because it says it's a blush or eyeshadow, doesn't mean you can't use them in other areas. Take a blush brush and run the color over your cheeks, you can take a small brush and use that color in the crease of your eyes. Use that same color to mix with some gloss and you've got your lipstick. Take a dark brown color to fill in your eyebrows and use in the lower outer corner of your eyes and outer corner of the upper lid as a light eyeliner. Add several coats of mascara and you're all set!

The Inside Scoop...

Applying makeup about more than just looking good on the outside. It does something on the inside. You are pampering yourself and making yourself a priority. Your taking a few moments to feel like a woman again. When you know you're put together, and you walk out that door...as you get attacked and bombarded with life...you feel more confident and composed.

So as LOreal has said for years...You're Worth It!
