As soon as you wash your face in the morning, add a little moisturizer. Your skin will start to look and feel softer. This is the best defense against skin damage and early aging. Try and find a moisturizer that also has sunscreen in it. SPF 15 or higher is best. There are also many types of moisturizer from dry skin to oily skin. Whichever you choose , use it regularly for a healthier look.

Use a foundation to even out your skin tone. Choose a color closest to your natural skin tone. Apply it to your entire face and blend softly at the jawline. This will make alot of difference and will not take long. Cover girl or Maybelline are two of the best foundations at there for the price .

Eye shadow really makes your eyes pop and sparkle, but who has time to apply it? Good new , Avon has come out with eye shadow stickers. Simply peel off the back and stick onto your eye lids. A professional look fast and very easy. A helpful tip would be to cut the sticker in half so that you can apply one eye at a time. A time saver tip would be to cut the stickers in half when you get them. That way the next morning you can just grab and apply very quickly.

This step will take the longest to apply. Mascara is the outline for your eyes. Choose a black or brown shade to make your eyes stand out. Gently sweep over your lashes. For more volume. you can just do the upper lashes if you choose or upper and lower. This small step will make a big difference in your appearance. It is well worth the minute it takes to apply .

The last step is simply to add a little bit of shine to your lips. Pick out a color that suits you in either a lip gloss or lip stick and you are ready for whatever the world has to offer. This is the most important part of your make up. Adding a little color to your lips is a transformation of style .

Five minutes is all you need to look and feel your best. Moisturizer, foundation, eye shadow, mascara, and lip gloss are the keys to show off your real beauty. When in a hurry go for the basics. You can be happy and put together in no time at all.
