We’ve all been there before – found ourselves in the office bathroom wondering who is that ghostly woman staring back at me from the mirror, and didn’t she put on her face today?! And then you realize it’s YOU!!! Fear not! Your lipstick is a 3-in-1 power tool that can give you a refreshed face in no time. No need to lug a giant makeup bag around with you all day!
It’s quite simple. When you need a facial pick me up, apply your lipstick to three places:
- Lips – obviously.
- Cheeks – one little circle of color, right on the apples
- Eye Crease/Brow Bone – gently and lightly pat a touch of color onto the outer-lower brow bone. It will open up your eyes and round out the color that you’ve just put on your cheeks and your lips.
NOW, BLEND! BLEND! BLEND!
Et voila! Instant pick-me-up to get you through the rest of your work day or to take you right into after-work drinks – no gigantic makeup bag in sight!
P.S. This trick doesn’t just work with a light pink lipstick, you can use ANY lipstick – red, purple, coral – and as long as you BLEND, you’ll be brighter and touched up in no time! Go on! Try it!
P.P.S. If you want a recommendation for a great all-over color like the one I’ve used here, this Jane Iredale lip color is my favorite. It’s available in my SHOP section or by clicking through on the below image!
XOXO,
Belle
