Five Minute Makeup (Video)

Last week we talked about having an effortless sense of style.

Effortless: showing little or no effort, easy, uncomplicated, fluent, simple, and painless.  I would say most women decide to ignore their style because they think it’s too much work, too complicated, requires too much effort and it’s much simpler to have NO STYLE.

Along with an effortless sense of style comes effortless makeup to complete your look.  I'm not saying a naked face but I am suggesting you take the time to apply makeup in an effortless way.  As we mature, it is natural for your skin to become uneven or possibly blotchy.  I believe we all need some kind of foundation.  Over the years foundation has come a long way, lots of options, and the colors are more natural than ever.  No more orange face.

I also believe in some sort of lip color whether that be lip gloss or lipstick.  I personally like lipstick as it stays on longer. You can always apply my lip gloss over top of the lipstick for that sassy sexy look.  As we mature, our lips start to become uneven, we lose our lip line, and finally one day we wake up and wonder where our lips went.  We all need lipstick!

Audrey Hepburn not only had an effortless sense of style but she also had beautiful and effortless makeup.  She took care of her skin, she applied foundation, lipstick, eyebrows and most importantly she focused on her eyes.  Her big brown eyes were a focal point on her face.

I've attached a "Five Minute Face" video from Global Makeup Artist Shawnelle Prestidge.  In the video she suggests using sunny citrus lipstick.  As a someone who has worked with makeup for the last 20 years, if an orange tone is not your color try a nice pink such as pink satin, pink passion, or  a neutral such as shell or toffee all Mary Kay lipsticks.
