So what would Audra apply if she were in charge of your makeup routine?
FOUNDATION - evening out your skin tone helps your gorgeous features shine through! It reeeeally doesn't have to be full-coverage to be meaningful. A little CC Cream can do wonders on almost everyone!
LASHES - unless you're blessed by God like Francesca, everyone could benefit from a well-defined eye area. Decide what's important to you - length, volume, waterproof, definiion, etc
BROWS > EYELINER - there. I said it. I'd prefer you to have gorgeous brows over eyeliner. If you have to choose in your busy morning, opt for brows. It's more on-trend. It helps you look young. And your face will look more 'finished.' Promise
BLUSH: POP THOSE CHEEKS - ok this is a hill I'm willing to die on. Apply some blush, girl. No your cheeks are not naturally flush enough. No it does not look clownish. No it is not something you should skip or replace with bronzer. Blush is crucial for looking healthy, youthful & polished.
THE GLOW UP : Finishing touches - under normal circumstances, I'd say find a lip color that you lovvvve to finish off this fast, fabulous lewk you've got going. Could be lipgloss or lipstick. But this is not normal times, SO... we hope your final makeup step is one that helps YOU feel like YOU. Maybe you love to rock a wing eyeliner or a gorgeous cat eye maybe you feel cute in extra highlighter Whatever it may be, remember there are no makeup rules, only suggestions. You do you, beauty!
The final word: makeup is first and foremost for you. So do what makes you happy. What brings out your natural beauty. And confidence. Then go slay your day!
