Choosing The Right Brush

Don't underestimate the power of a good brush.Fingers are all well and good, but when it comes to perfect blending or precise outlines, nothing beats a good set of makeup brushes.We suggest the top tools of the trade to give you total glam.Make room on your dressing table for these brushes that will work wonders on your face.Also, apply your make-up in the right order, it can make all the differences in how the final effect looks.

An Alluring Base:
Dot foundation or a natural-tinted moisturizer with a UV filter on your cheeks, chin and forehead.Blend with fingers or a damp, cosmetic sponge.With a small and soft artist's brush, apply concealer cream under the eyes to cover shadows.To create the perfect canvas, use a brush with thick, dense bristles to evenly dust your T-Zone with translucent powder.Compared to a sponge, a brush evens out the skin tone better over a large area while still giving it a sheer look.

A Warm Glow:
Blusher warms and enlivens the skin, helping to accentuate cheekbones and contour areas. For an all over-glow, take a large, soft brush and swipe blush over your cheekbones, forehead, and temples and add a touch to the chin.This instantly brightens up a dull and colour-starved complexion.During the rainy seasons, opt for powder blushers, as they have the most staying power.Apply small amount high on the cheekbones, below the eyeball.Sweep the brush outward, away from the nose, blending carefully to avoid hard wedges of colour.Try Optic Fibre Brushes, as they never pick up too much product and ensures that the blusher or bronzer goes on evenly.

For Your Eyes Only:
The perfect made up eye is a result of careful blending and building of colour with a wide variety of brushes.Apply highlighter to the inner corner of the eye and the browbone with a brush.Apply pale muted shades on the inner eyelids and darker eye-shadow on the outer corners of both lids to balance the eye depth.If you don't have a steady hand, don't apply the eye-line with a brush.If you do use a brush, keep to the lash roots.

Flirt With Me Lashes:
Mascara adds the final frame to your eyes and completes your eye makeup.It separates the lashes very effectively and lasts well.Always apply your mascara first on the lower lashes, brushing from the roots to the tips.Apply two light coats, separating in between with a clean eyelash comb.Viola! Long, thick and lustrous lashes.With a few sweeps of L'Oreal Paris Intensifique Mascara, make a statement with your impossibly long lashes!.You'll also love Estee Lauder's New Illusionist Maximum Curling Masacara that has a patent-pending flex-fibre brush for precise application.Absolutely no smudges.Well-defined and tidy brows balance the face and give it character.Use an eyebrow brush with a slanted edge to smooth and brush the brows into shape.

Brush Your Luscious Lips:
For full luscious lips, it's important to apply your lipstick the right way.Well chosen color and shine, carefully applied, can enhance lips tremendously, whatever their shape.Smudged outlines or a faded ring of color at all.Outline lips carefully with a thin and smooth lipbrush-this stops the color from bleeding, and gives a precise but less harsh finish than a lipliner.Soften the line by dabbing gently with the lipbrush.Finally, fill your lips in.Top it with a clear gloss for lips that look edible.

Brush Care:
Whichever sort you use-Nylon or hair-your brushes should be kept clean and replaced once a year.After use, wipe off excess make-up from your brush with a tissue.If needed, wash in lukewarm water, using mild shampoo.Rinse thoroughly.Dry on a rolled towel, and then press the brush back into shape with fingertips to prevent feathering.Lie flat to dry.The key to a flawless finish is the tools.

Eye Cosmetics And Their Use

How Safe Are Eye-Cosmetics?
Most instances of infection and injury to the eyes are a result of careless application and use of cosmetics rather than due to any of the ingredients.So it is important to follow simple ru;es of cleanliness and hygiene when using eye-cosmetics: wash your hands before touching your eyes; never borrow or lend any item of eye makeup; never use saliva or dirty water to moisten eye-makeup.

Allergic reactions to eye makeup are however, not uncommon: the solution to this problem is to stop using the eye cosmetic which has caused the reaction.But, remember, that reactions around the eyes are not always due to eye cosmetics, but maybe due to the nail varnish or the hair dye you have used.

Eye Makeup-Choosing For Yourself:
A.Eye Shadows:
The eye shadow you choose should flatter and enhance your eye colour and the shape of your eyes, as well as your whole appearance.The skin colour, the eye colour, and your life style need to be considered when choosing and using eye shadow.Always harmonise the colour of the eyeshadow with that of your skin and your eyes.Whatever the colour, it should be blended in well, so that there are no harsh lines.Aim for the natural look.

Apart from colour, there is a choice of forms of the eyeshadows.
a.Pressed Powders: These are still the most popular form of shadows, because they are easy to apply and control.These are available in pearly and matt textures.The effect is not long lasting, but if you apply them with a wet brush, you can get a deeper effect and increase the staying qualities of the colour.
b.Cream Shadows: These are oil or wax based and are best suited for dry crepey lids and should be avoided on greasy lids.
c.Sticks: These are firmer forms of cream shadow and look quite like lipsticks.
d.Pencils: Pencils have, however, almost totally replaced sticks and crayons.They have a high colour and filling ability.
e.Gels: These are suited for greasy skins.These give a long lasting, subtle and translucent effect.
f.Liquid Shadows: These also have a long lasting effect, but are difficult to apply because it is difficult to get an even flow of colour with them.

Powder

Powder:
Face Powders are an essential step in your makeup routine.Powder does 2 things to your make-up.Firstly it sets your makeup perfectly, giving a smooth even finish to your complexion.Secondly, it helps to prevent the appearance of shine on the areas most prone to oiliness-the central panel.They are available in either compact or loose form. It is important to set your foundation with a loose powder.This helps to keep your foundation in place.Compact powders should be used for touch ups.

Since most women, regardless of complexion, have yellow-based skin, we strongly recommend that they wear foundations with a yellow base. When they do, they will look flawless and natural-looking.

Which Powder To Use?
Fine loose translucent powders are the best, as the pressed powders tend to cake and streak.Translucent Powders are light in texture providing a sheer, natural finish.However if you have an extra oily skin, it is advisable to wear a matte translucent powder. which is sheer and contain loads of oil natural absorbers.

If you use a translucent powder over your foundation or concealer, it will set your makeup without adding too much extra color.Complexion powders on the other hand, have a greater degree of color and because they are more opaque, can be used alone.They can also be used with your foundation to set, adjust or enhance.

Blushers

Blushers:
After facial makeup, the next thing that comes on the face is the blusher.Blushers add warmth to the face, and amphasise the facial contours.This is a highlighting colour, that is applied on the high edge of the cheek bones and blended to create a natural-looking blush on the cheeks.

The predominant form today is the powder blusher-this is the successor to the original rouge.Cream blushers are somewhat newer than powder blushers.Blushers also come in two colour harmonies:
1.The Gold Harmony with coral, orange and reddish brown tones and,
2.The Bluish Harmony with rose-beige colours.
Remember that here too you might select both the right form and the right colour.It is better to avoid blushes that are too bright or dark for your skin colour.The right blusher should be the same colour your cheeks are naturally when you're really healthy. To flatter your skin tone, choose a blush colour that will give a natural healthy glow.

Blusher Colour Tips:
1.Fair skin - beige, tawny and pink tones.
2.Olive/Yellow-toned skin - warm brown, almond and copper shades.
3.Dark-skin - plum, auburn and deep bronze shades.
4.Tanned skin - orange, apricot, peach and coral shades.

Unlike eye make up and lipstick, a blush is like foundation (base make up).It is not meant to show.The best way to ensure that your blush doesn't stick out like a shaded outline of your cheeks always apply blush before your eye make-up and lipstick.Otherwise, it will be competing with your eyes and lips and that is when you will apply too much.Also, ensure that you are standing in front of a well-lit mirror.Otherwise you will apply too much simply because you were not able to notice the colour yourself.If you are not sure still, apply no more than 3-4 brush strokes.It is unlikely that you will go wrong with that.

How to apple Makeup

Makeup should be applied in the following sequence:

a.Foundation, preceeded if required by under eye concealers.
b.Corrections And Improvements.
c.Blushers.
d.Powders.
e.Eye Makeup.
f.Lip Makeup.

Use Of Under-Eye Concealers:
Concealers are applied to cover dark circles around the eyes, thereby grweatly enhancing the appearance of the face.They are matched to the skin tone and are applied before using the harmony foundation.When any product is applied around the eyes, special care must be taken so that the skin is not stretched.Instead of applying the cream from the inside corner of the eye to the outside it should be dabbed on the skin and then gently blended with the finger tips moving from the outside corner to the inside corner.This procedure will not pull the skin.After the product has dried, more can be applied to build up the desired opacity.To remove, use a cosmetic cleanser, instead of vigorously rubbing the skin with soap and water.

A.Foundation:
Application Technique:
Put a little foundation on the hand(add a complimentary tone if necessary).Dot it over the face-on the nose, the cheeks, the chin and the temples and in between the brows.Using the tips of two fingers or a small clean, dampened sponge(from which excess water has been removed) blend the foundation.Always work from the face outwards, to avoid an accumulation of the foundation around the hairline-move from the cheeks to the ears, from between the brows down over the nose, from the chin out towards the jaw, then onto the neck.Work quickly, carefully and lightly.Blend well around the hairline, on the neck, below the eyes and behind the ears.Also take the foundation over the eyelids.Finally blot the face with a clean dry tissue, pressing it lightly over the skin.

B.Corrections And Improvements Through The Use Of Make-up:
Correction of poor skin tones is achieved by using a correcting make-up base: a mauve base can conceal pale and dull skin tones and brighten the skin.A green base masks red blotches and ruddiness.The under-eye concealer camouflages dark circles under the eye.These correcting bases have to be applied before applying foundation.To improve facial features, use is made of the fact that pale shades lengthen, fill out, and brighten, while dark shades reduce, deepen, darken, and conceal.This form of correcting base is applied after the use of basic foundation.These correcting bases are available as liquids, creams and even as pencils.

1.Correcting The Facial Morphology: The ideal facial shape is oval and by the clever use of dark and pale tones, every facial type can be made to appear oval.
a.Trapezoidal Face: The trapezoidal face can be made to look more oval by redefining the lower part with dark foundation and using light makeup at the temple.
b.Rectangular And A Square Face: Both these shapes are redefined at the four corners with dark foundation.
c.Triangular Face: The triangular face needs dark foundation at the temples and to shorten the chin while the lower face needs enlargement using light makeup.
d.An Oval Face:The oval face needs shortening at the forehead and chin with dark foundation.
e.Round Face: The round face is made to appear oval by using dark makeup at the temples and around the lower face.

2.Correcting The Chin And The Nose:
Here again, playing with colours, you can balance other features of your face.
a.A Prominent Chin:This can be corrected by applying dark foundation on the tip of the chin.
b.A Double Chin: This can be corrected by putting a dark foundation on the double chin.
c.A Long Nose: A long nose appears short by applying dark makeup on the tip.
d.A Broad Nose: For a broad nose apply dark foundation along each side of the nose.
e.Short Nose: To emphasize a short nose apply pale makeup along the top of the nose along its whole length.
f.Narrow Nose: For a narrow nose apply a bright foundation on each side.
g.Crooked Nose: For a crooked nose, cover the crooked side with a dark foundation and the opposite side with a light foundation.

C.Applying Blusher:
The next step is the use of the blusher or the rouge.These cosmetics do several things to your face.

How To Apply Blusher?
Use the colour on the blush area.This is the part of the face between parallel lines, one extending outward from the corner of your eye and the second from the bottom of your nose.Smile and lightly touch the blusher brush on the fatty part of the cheek and gently brush the blusher toward the temple, making a slight curve.A touch of colour across the forehead and on the chin cometes the look.The cream rouge is applied to the cheeks with the fingertips in small amounts and spread in the desired fashion.The powder blusher is applied with a brush.

D.Applying Powder:
Technique:
Make sure the foundationis well blended.Blot the face lightly with a tissue, especially over the forehead, nose and chin.Pick up the powder on the puff and press it firmly on the face, one area at a time.Don't try to smooth it on by massaging the puff over the face.Now using a soft, thick powder brush, whisk away the excess, with downward movement to stop the powder getting caught in the fine facial hair.

E.Eye Makeup:
Almond shaped eyes are considered to be the ideal.So when making up eyes, one tries with the help of light and dark eye makeup to make the necessary changes to give the eyes an almond appearance.

1.Eyeshadow:
Application Technique:
The following steps are followed in the application of eyeshadow shades.
i.Using a fine, blunt-ended brush, gently apply the base colour to the entire lid from the inside to the outside corner and from the base of the lashes to the eyelid crease.
ii.If the eyes need extra definition, a deeper shade is blended into the crease line.This gives depth to the eyes.
iii.The brow bone is highlighted with a light shade.This gives the eyes a wide, open look.The colour is applied to the most prominent area and blended up towards the brow and down to where the contour curves down, toward the eyelid creases.
Before using them on the lids, always test the colours on the back of the hand to test the intensity.You can use even 3-4 colours, provided they are blended well.Remember pale tones emphasize, while deep sooty shades define.

2.Eye Liners:
Application Technique For The Liquid EyeLiner:
Test, on the back of your hand, the amount of pressure you should apply.Unless you are a real artist, it is best to steady your elbow on a flat surface.Work from the inside of the eye to the outside corner and keep the line light and even.If you stop at the corner of the eyes, the effect will be round and wide-eyed;if you continue the line and sweep it up and out, you would get a more exotic look.Finally smudge the edges with a cotton bud to soften them.
Application Technique For The Pencil Eyeliner:
Pencils can be used in the same manner to define or extend the shape of the eyes, but they give a softer, more natural line.Keep them sharpened and ready for use, as blunted or broken points can spoil the whole effect.

3.Mascara:
How To Apply Mascara?
For best results, first look down and brush the top lashes from the roots downwards, then look up and brush the top lashes upwards.Then still looking up, brush colour on the lower lashes.Wait for a minute for them to dry, and similarly apply a second coat.Finally brush with a clean dry brush, to separate the lashes.

To Remove Mascara:
While removing the mascara avoid the colour from going onto the delicate area below the bottom lashes and close your eyes.Roll a cotton bud dipped in a cosmetic cleanser over the lashes, taking the mascara down onto the tissue.Repeat till all the mascara is gone.

4.Correction Of Eyes Using Makeup:
You can improve your eye shape by experimenting with colour and texture.Identify the shape of your eyes and follow the tips given:
i.For Small Eyes:Pluck the eyebrows fine to give maximum eye area.Use a little shadow under the lower lashes as well as on the top of the lid.Blend the shadow on the upper lid from the centre outwards, curving it upwards towards the brow in the shape of a wing.Line both the lids, extending the meeting line fairly out, to increase the length of the eyes.Mascara both the upper and lower lashes, using two coats on the outer lashes only.
ii.For Wide-Set Eyes:Pencil the eyebrows close to each other.Add a little shadow onto the bridge of the nose or blend your shadow close to the corner of the nose and stop at the centre of the upper lid.To make the eyes appear a little closer, start outlining the upper lid from the inner corner of the eye, bringing it near the nose ridge, leaving just the width of one eye in between the two eyes.Continue the line towards the outer corner but not quite extending up to it.
iii.For Close-Set Eyes: Shape the eyebrows so that they don't have the close-together appearance.Use the eyeshadow on the upper outer half of the lid extending above the eye and under the brow.To offset the closeness of the eyes, start drawing the eye line on the upper lid away from the inner corner.Draw it up and out.Similarly, the lower line should not begin from the inner corner.
iv.For Deep-Set Eyes:Use a dark eyeshadow under the eyebrow, but not on the lid, where if you want to, you can use a lighter eyeshadow.Line only the lower lid and extend the line fairly out and up.
v.For Round Eyes:Make sure the shape of your eyebrows is angular.Blend your shadow from the centre of the lid and deepen it at the outer edge of the eye, extending it a little beyond the outer corner of the eye.Line the upper lids, starting from the inner corner and extend it out and up so as to suggest length.

F.Lip Makeup: Lipstick provides the final touch to your makeup; without it no look is complete.For a perfect result, you will need a steady hand, some practice, the correct implementats and a knowledge of the correcting techniques. What You Would Need? A narrow, flat ended brush, a selection of finely sharpened lip pencils, lipgloss and lipstick(either the conventional tube lipstick or the cream type with a sponge-tip applicator.If your lip colour is uneven, then you will need a special lip base or balancer-use a lighter tone on the dark areas and a dark tone on the light areas.These balancers also form a base for lipstick and help to keep the colour of the lipstick pure and clear. Lip Makeup Application Technique: 1.Outlining With Lip Liner: Before outlining the lips check that your lips are smooth and grease free.Use a sharp lip liner pencil in a shade close to that of your lipstick colour and with a steady hand, lightly outline the lips.For the upper lip, start at the centre and work out, towards the corner of the mouth.For the lower lip, work from side to side. 2.Priming The Lips With A Lip Balancer: Fill in the lips with a special base or balancer to even out the skin tones.If your lips are of an even colour, use a face powder as a base. 3.Filling Up With Lipstick: Using a lip brush, fill in the colour.For the upper lip start at the center and work outwards.On the lower lip work from side to side.Don't pile up too much colour.It is much easier to add more later than to remove any excess. 4.Blotting Off: Fold a clean tissue and place it between your lips.Press the lips lightly together to remove the excess colour and to help seal the remainder, so that it stays on the lips rather than moving onto every glass you use. 5.Final Lip Gloss Application: Finally finish with a lip gloss to get a gleaming look.However, women with extra-full lips, should use lip gloss very sparingly. Shaping Up Your Lips: Through a knowledge of what you can do to correct lip shape you can truly achieve a perfect finish to your face.Study the shape of your lips, identify the defects, if any, and decide on what you want to achieve and then proceed. 1.Small Mouth With Small Lips: These are easily corrected by taking the lip liner pencil outside the natural lip line.Work slowly and steadily to form a perfect shape.Fill in with primer and finally with the lipstick.A highlight of frosting on the upper lip would also create an impression of fullness. 2.Large Mouth With Full Lips: Apply liquid foundation makeup to the entire mouth, then outline with a dark shade of lipstick just inside the natural contours of the mouth.Then aply lipstick of a lighter shade carefully and accurately within this outline.Subdued shades work well for this kind of mouth.Use medium toned lip colours and avoid dark browns, plums, electric brights or pale shimmer shades. 3.Full Upper Lip: Aply fluid foundation makeup to the upper lip.Outline just inside its natural contour and apply a dark shade of lipstick.Then outline the lower lip just outside its natural contour and emphasize by filling in with a lighter shade of lipstick. 4.Full Lower Lip: Outline upper lip just outside its natural contour.Apply a light shade of lipstick and in the center add a touch of lip gloss.Apply fluid foundation makeup to the lower lip. Outline just inside its natural contour.Then fill in with a darker shade of lipstick, using a lip brush. 5.Wide Mouth: Cover the corners of the mouth with foundation makeup or a cover stick.Apply lipstick with a lip brush, stopping a few millimeters before the corners of the mouth are reached. Patching Up: If makeup has to be touched up during the day, only powder makeup should be applied, using a brush.Use gentle patting strokes and blot the excess off.

Get The Perfect Look

- Why use products from the same company to wear make-up?
If you are happy with the varied products you use and they are cheap why not?The thing to remember is that you have to use products that last longer.

- When disguising shadows under your eyes, always test the colour of a concealer over the foundation.The effect should be invisible.

- Cut down the clutter in your handbag.Instead carry a peach-pink cream eye shadow.It can be used on your eyes, cheeks and even lips.If you do not have the time to apply and blend your eye shadow, buy an eyeliner pencil and smudge it with your little finger(outer corners), for a lasting impression.If you feel that your lipstick vanishes easily, just contour your lips with a lip pencil and fill it up using lip gloss.So, Even when the gloss disappears, there is still colour on your lips.

Make It Last:
A.If You cannot get that lst bit of foundation out of the tube, place it under hot running water for a few seconds.
B.Melt down ends of broken lipstick in a double boiler.Pour into a small, shallow lip gloss pot and use every last bit of your favourite color.
C.Place your favourite perfume in its original packaging and store in a cool dry place.This makes it last longer and even smells the same.
D.Refrigerate your eye pencils and lipsticks.This makes them easier to apply and also prevents the tips from breaking off.

I	- Revive lifeless curls by spritzing your hair with water, then crunch dry small handfuls to bring back the bounce.
N	- Use your fingers as a comb and rake them through the finished style to shape it.
T	- Keep moving your fingers through your hair.It increases blood circulation and brings back lost lustre.
S	- Keep your skin soft by using a loofah or body mesh sponge in the shower everyday and keep yourself well moistured. A quick way to make your body glow is to add a healthy film of moisture to your skin.

How To Look Effortlessly Beautiful

For this article, the word Effortlessly should be in quotes, because looking 'effortlessly' beautiful involves more than 1) Wake up 2) Look Beautiful. If you're the kind of girl who avoids playing sports because it 'messes up my makeup', or the kind of woman who sleeps in her makeup to avoid scaring her mate in the morning, then this article is for you.

These tips will allow you to spend less time in front of the mirror and more time at the beach AND look gorgeous at the same time. Some of these tips also work for guys who want to look good but balk at the idea of wearing makeup.

An 'Effortless' Glowing Complexion With Sunless Tanner

Sunless tanners are great for boosting your natural coloring. Fake tans also do a good job of hiding blemishes and making your skin look more even-toned. If you use sunless tanner on your face, make sure that it is specially formulated for use on the face.

The look we want to achieve with sunless tanner is a subtle glow. If you are fair-skinned, go for a very light tan, if your skin is medium-toned, you can go a little darker. Going too dark makes your tan look very obviously fake, and it no longer looks 'effortless'.

For an even more 'effortless' look, get a moisturizer with a hint of sunless tanner. It's foolproof (no streaky/blotchy mess), and you can gradually build up your tan with each application. Some of these moisturizers even have SPF protection, so you don't have to apply a separate sunscreen product before you go out in the sun. Very convenient! Sunless tans usually last 4 - 7 days so keep applying it once or twice a week to maintain your glow.

Sleep with your makeup on - use mineral makeup

Mineral makeup products are free of preservatives, talc, oil, waxes, fragrances, and other chemicals that can irritate skin and cause breakouts - which means you can fall asleep with it on, and never have to worry about a blemish in the morning. It also has the added advantage of being very water resistant and long-lasting, making it suitable for humid conditions. It all sounds too good to be true, but this kind of makeup has received rave reviews from virtually anyone who has used it.

'Effortless' Beautiful Eyes

Eyelashes are the deal-breaker when it comes to gorgeous eyes. People with long, thick and full lashes don't need to apply as much mascara and eyeliner (if at all) compared to those of us who are not so fortunately blessed. However, there's no need to despair; there are many options now for the eyelash-challenged that doesn't involve fiddling about with an eyelash curler and mascara every day.

Put aside that eyelash curler...

You can say goodbye to your trusty eyelash curler...for about 8 weeks. Many beauty salons now offer eyelash perming. Eyelash perming is a bit like hair perming - but for your eyelashes. The curl generally lasts about the lifetime on an eyelash (8 weeks to 3 months). Unlike with a conventional lash curler, your eyelashes will stay curled even when wet.

Get glossy dark lashes - no mascara needed

If your eyelashes are nearly invisible or not as dark as you would like them to be, you can go to a beautician and get them tinted. Your eyelashes will remain dark for up to 45 days. These tints or dyes can also be used on the eyebrows. Since this procedure involves putting irritating chemicals (the same kind used in hair dye) very close to your eyes, make sure you get this done with a certified professional, who will do skin testing on you first to make sure you won't react negatively to the dye. There are DIY kits out there, and if you want to use them (and we don't recommend it), USE WITH CAUTION and pay careful attention to the safety instructions as mistakes can potentially cause severe eye irritation and even blindness.

24/7 Falsies with lash extensions

Lash extensions originated from Asia but have become very popular among Hollywood celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. Lash extensions involve glueing false eyelashes one by one to your own eyelashes. The process takes 2 hours, lasts about 2 months and cost between $300 to $500.

Lash extensions sounds like a nice idea - but I can't afford it!

A less costly alternative would be to use semi-permanent eyelashes, which lasts for up to 10 days, takes only a minute to apply and costs only $50 a pair. Semi-permanent lashes are waterproof so you don't have to worry about going in the pool with it on. However, since semi-permanent lashes use waterproof glue, avoid oil-based eye makeup removers. You can apply semi-permanent eyelashes at a salon or use DIY kits.

Permanent/Semi-Permanent makeup

We don't recommend this, unless you like eyebrows that look like its drawn on with a Sharpie. That said, there are some good applications for permanent makeup. Chief among them is the concealment of blemishes, birthmarks and scars. Think of it as a permanent concealer. People who are not physically able to apply makeup for themselves and chemotherapy patients (where the eyebrows and eyelashes are gone) can also benefit from this. There are many reasons to use permanent makeup, but don't opt for it just because you're too lazy to apply makeup!

Conclusion

Ultimately, it all comes down to how much time you want to shave off your daily makeup routine and how much time and money you are willing to spend on the weekly or monthly maintenance for your 'effortless' look.
