The good news is that it’s actually very easy to get this look for yourself and you don’t have to bust your budget to pick up the essentials required where your makeup bag is concerned either. However, you will need to make sure you focus on your skincare regime this season as springtime looks are typically a bit more pared back. Remember that less is more with makeup at this time of year!

Never forget to wash your face with a gentle cleanser morning and night, followed up with a good face oil that will really sink into your skin. After that, apply a light moisturiser with an SPF factor of at least 15, or you could use a BB cream that has it in it (which will also help reduce the appearance of your pores).

Once you’ve taken care of your skin and are happy with the results, now’s the time to start making yourself up! For a beautiful springy glow, use minimal foundation if you can. If you really don’t feel confident, you can always use BB cream as mentioned or a light concealer, but remember that you’re going for a barely there look.

Get yourself a good pigmented rosy blush to sweep over your cheekbones and opt for pink glossy lips, as well as using a cream gloss eye shadow to complete the look. A sweep of mascara and some highlighter on your cheekbones, down the middle of your nose, above your eyebrows and on your cupid’s bow will finish the look off perfectly.

4 Hacks For Lazy Beauty Addicts https://www.selenajack.co.uk/advice/fashion-makeup-artist-lazy-makeup-hacks/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fashion-makeup-artist-lazy-makeup-hacks https://www.selenajack.co.uk/advice/fashion-makeup-artist-lazy-makeup-hacks/#respond Tue, 11 Apr 2017 11:08:41 +0000 http://www.selenajack.co.uk/?p=582 We all lead such busy lives that it’s no surprise you often see people doing their makeup on the commute to work. Sometimes, sleep has to take priority! If you find yourself pushed for time a lot or just know that you’ve got a few idle bones here and there, here are a couple of makeup hacks to help you still look your best no matter what you’re doing or how you’re feeling.

Use an overnight mask

Who doesn’t want to look after their skin? If you focus on this, you won’t feel like you have to wear as much makeup as you might do otherwise. An overnight mask is great because you can just slap it on and go to sleep and forget about it, waking up with beautiful skin.

Loose braids before bedtime

If you love having curly hair but sometimes just can’t be bothered in the mornings, try tying your hair in a low loose braid before going to bed. You’ll wake up with beautiful curls with zero effort whatsoever!

Peppermint oil in lip gloss

If you want the perfect pout but don’t have time to devote to lipstick and lip liner in the mornings, just put a drop or two of peppermint oil into your lip gloss and watch as your lips plump up immediately.

Keep face wipes by your bed

Sometimes washing your face can seem like the biggest chore in the world, especially if it’s late. Do yourself a favour and keep face wipes next to your bed so you can wipe your makeup off easily and with minimal effort.
