There are two types of beauties during quarantine. There are the beauties who have been getting dressed, and wearing makeup on the daily. And then, there are the beauties who have no makeup on at all, and the only clothing they are changing into is their morning PJs to their night PJs... makeup is not even on their radar. Can you guess which beauty I am?
You guessed it! The one wearing makeup daily! DUHHH....not.
Beauty, the only thing I'm wearing is some yummy hubby sweats, and a high bun!
But... for those that want an occasional pick-me-up makeup day, I have come up with the 5 quarantine makeup must-haves to help you feel a little more beautified...if you feel the absolute need to.
1. Brows, Brows, Brows....We like brows and caaars....brows, brows, brows, we like brows and baaaars....brows, brows, brows, we love them, we love them! (my little spin on the ol' lady gaga: Boys, Boys, Boys)
But for real, now is not the time to be slapping on the famous insta brow! Now is the time to fill in and shape. For my shoppers these are my two recommendations: The Morphe brow pencils (are amazing and at such a low price), and the famous Anastasia brow products. But for those that don't even want to spend a penny during quarantine...I gotchu! Go through the brown eyeshadows you have and fleek them brows!
2. Lashes! A beauty is not complete without 'em.
Whether you wanna be a bit extra and pop on some Ardel Whispies, or use the Loreal Paris Voluminous Mascara, you need some lashes! The Quarantine queen won't walk out with out her lashes looking fierce! And by walk out... I mean walk out of the bedroom to get to the kitchen, for some quarantine deliciousness.
3. " Concealer is the secret of the universe"- Bobbi Brown.
For all those like me binging Netflix, and taking care of our loves...the bags and dark circles under our eyes are getting intense! And if for some reason you chose not to quarantine and binge, than you are definitely snacking on all the wrong foods- in that case those pimples are popping! And if for some reason you are being a health freak (and I mean that with tons of love and respect)...well then good for you, you can use some bb cream instead. My recent go to concealer has been the Maybelline fit me concealer, but for extra coverage ya'll know what I'm about to say....do I even need to say it...ok I'll say it for those in the back that missed it....TARTE SHAPE TAPE! And if you are blessed with no dark circles or pimples, and don't need to cover up, then you can skip this completely, or you can use a tinted moisturizer. Just make sure you keep this part of the process light handed. We want to see your freckles beauties!
4. Bronzer or Blush and give your face some added dimension!
No you don't have to start contouring over here...no crisp lines to blend out. Cause beauty...aint nobody got time for that now! For bronzer I like No7 or Bobbi Brown and just give your face some form and tan. Use a big fluffy brush and lightly dust your face, follow the contour shape, but don't get too technical here. For blush I love to use Milani or Ofra, and add a little cheeky color to the apples of your cheeks, dusting over your nose. Plus if the blush has a shimmer you can get an added highlight effect- BONUS!!
5. Make those lips shine with some poppin' lipgloss.
It can be tinted with a rose or orange tinge. Maybe it's filled with sparkles and glitter? Whatever the case, if its glossy then pop it on! Revlon makes great lipgloss and so does Nars. For all my budget friendly friends...vaseline, lip balm, or even coconut oil (or any other) will do! But a fresh face without lipgloss is like a sky without the sun...new metaphor and I'm sticking to it!
So beauties there you have it! My 5 Quarantine must-haves....Stay beautiful!
XOXO
