Article Review "HOW TO PERFECT YOUR 5-MINUTE MAKEUP ROUTINE"

Hello Everyone! This is an easy to read article found at http://www.beautylish.com/a/vxjpj/sonia-kashuk-easy-makeup-tips  

     Beautylish sends out these fantastic promotional emails with new ways to apply products. This was one of my personal favorites, because we have all had that hectic morning where you just barely have enough time to put yourself together. This 5 minute routine is truly 5 minutes and it leaves you looking awake and natural, without that heavy makeup feeling and appearance. So what's the step by step routine?? The author speaks with Sonia Kashuk, pro makeup artist with her own line. (fantastic and affordable by the way) She explains that to get a quick even tone is to take your foundation and to spot apply it where necessary, even adding a little under the eyes in place of concealer when time is of the essence. Ideally just covering up the reddish areas will make you appear awake. Next is to add a splash of some blush, everyone loves rosy cheeks, it makes you look dewy, and healthy. Now this is definitely one of those areas that less is more. It is not cute or flattering when your cheeks are bright blazing pink. Unless you are a Disney princess and your in character, otherwise it looks like rosacea. Blush should be applied to the balls of the cheeks and slightly outward. This is easy when you smile and look at where your cheeks pucker, some refer to the puckers as your "apples". Then some mascara, a girls best friend. Mascara can really make quite a difference. Sonia suggests using an eyelash curler first, then a few strokes of mascara. (Good thing to note, running warm/hot water over your curler can make lashes more curled, and also when cleaning mascara that accidentally was placed on the lid, wait a minute until its dry then take a cotton q-tip and gently clean it off, avoid doing it right away as you will disperse the mascara across your lid.) Next is lips, adding a light pink to natural color or gloss can make your lips pop without over doing it. Almost done! Now you want to take a nice blending brush and just quickly buff out any harsh lines or unevenness. This will make you appear seamless as the colors will all blend nicely without the "makeup line" effect. If you have a few extra seconds, taking a nice bronzer and a blending eyelid brush, run a light amount of bronzer within the eye crease to create a little dimension. Not a necessity but not a bad thing to add if a few seconds can be spared. Overall this was a very helpful article, quick to read, easy to understand, and applicable to everyday life!
