Lost...with no Lip Gloss

My boyfriend gets super annoyed at my 15 minutes of praying to my mirror when ever we go somewhere, but in my opinion - make-up is far more important than underwear! In retrospect, hopefully your man is the only one seeing those underwear after he has gawked over how beautiful those 15 minutes of "annoyance" made you.

Ok...so today I was going to his oldest nephews birthday party...I closed my door and took pictures of each stage of my getting ready process to prove the value of a little "me time". Yes, I am bearing my soul in this one...so laugh if you want - I can't hear you :-)



1. Take a shower (hopefully a given if you live in America). This will, and should be, the worst picture of your life. Horrible zits and all, check out how beautiful your bareness really is. Enjoy the scarceness of your true self. Talk nicely to your mirror during these dark moments of this process, the end result will be totally worth it!





2. Fix your hair and put on your Go-To outfit. This outfit might simply be a t-shirt. Your hair might be the same hair you wear everyday. But these two items start to pull everything together. Throw on a trendy neclace and wear some simple or outlandish earrings that compliment your face shape. Hang them like this chick explains here.




3. Foundation/Base/Powder/Concealer (one or a combo of all). I am a simple girl, so I use a creme to powder foundation (unless there is a big ugly one - then dabble with some concealer). Don't cake it on or you will feel crusty and gross. Make sure you blend through your neck so you don't look like you did when you were 14 in your mom's bathroom. Or try a tinted moisturizer (great for summer months - get one with an SPF and you are set).




4. Apply color (blush, eyeshadow, eye liner...if you are so inclined). Don't make the excuse of "I'm not a makeup artist...I don't know how to put it on". Try it. Simply suck in your cheeks and brush a little blush on the part of your cheeks that stick out. Use a light shimmery eyeshadow on your lids, or go all out and do the boomarang affect with a highlight, midtone, and accent color. Want to learn??? try out this beauty advisor for tips and tricks.

5. SMILE!!! This might by the most important part of your beauty regimen. Put on some Chapstick, Lip Gloss, or Lipstick in your fave shade. No matter how much time you spend on your hair and make-up, if you are a frowny, unaproachable biotch...you are still going to be ugly!

Don't crush the caterpillars

and then complain

that there aren't any butterflies!

Ladies, spread those gorgeous wings

and fly...
