Morning primp

I have a drawer full of makeup that gives away the fact that I am a bit of a beauty product junkie. Put it is a cute package and odds are I will find some reason to try it out. Unfortunately, my morning schedule doesn't leave much time to be creative with the brushes, so I've mastered a makeup routine that relies on the old standbys that will always have a home in my kit, while still helping me look fresh faced each morning...well, as awake as I can possibly be before a large coffee. Now that summer is here and I plan to hold on to any sign of a tanned glow as long as possible, I've rotated in a few products that work perfectly with the barely there sun kissed face. Paired with nude lips and a defined brow, the look is perfect for daytime.

Prep: Stay Matte powder to help take out the shine
Color: Bronzing powder for the hollows of the cheek paired with a light shimmery pink blush on the apples to give the perfect glow
Highlight: Pearl colored shadow on the brow bones adds a bit of color without having to add color to your lids
Enhance: Try the Lash Blast Fusion on your lashes to define the eyes, and a light handed stroke with the Lash Blast Length to define eyebrows
Finish: A quick swipe of Belle de Jour adds the perfect neutral without looking washed out
