Five Easy Makeup Tips For Busy Madames

STEP 5: LIPS & LASHES

Using a lip pencil that matches your lip color, softly line your lips creating a thicker as opposed to thinner line. Apply a tinted lip-gloss over entire lips including liner for a blended effect. Look for glosses that are pink-beige, pink-brown or peach for a versatile lip. Joyal’s favorites are MAC Lip Liner in Chestnut, Cork and Spice and MAC Lipglass in Beaux, Viva Glam V, Love Nectar and C-Thru. Finally, mascara is a must for a polished look. If eyes are the windows to the soul, then mascara is a beautiful window treatment. Apply two coats of mascara to top and bottom lashes (MAC’s X or Plushblack).

Now, you’re ready to go with makeup that will last all day! For a nighttime look, freshen up your lashes, smooth out any shine with a powder and re-apply your lip color with a little more intensity.
