Make Up Monday

Kiss and Make up- but too much makeup has ruined many a kisses- Mae West

A Little Less Makeup But Still The Same Beauty!

With the warmer weather approaching, its very clear that when it comes to wearing makeup- less is more! Too much makeup will be over the top and your painted on pretty face will start to melt (Don't act like you have never seen it before!) 1stClassLadies want our dedicated readers to continue looking young and fresh so we have decided to put y'all on to whats too much and whats just right for the warmer weather. From what you can leave out to what is a must wear, we have got you covered.

Smashbox Primer available @ Sephora for $36

Primer is a Must. Some people just don't understand but making time for the primer does help. Primer is placed onto your face after you have moisturized it. Primer is not heavy and holds your makeup in place causing you to use less of it. Just like the primer you use in your house to paint, face primer creates a smooth base for whatever you will apply next.

bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation

  
Go a little less made up. So that your not melting faster then the wicked witch of the West minimize the use of ALL your products. Instead of using foundation use a moisturizer that has a tinted color. Its less heavy on the face and the chances of it becoming cakey are low. If you have blemishes or red spots you can apply powder foundation in those areas that need it for extra coverage. Try- I repeat- TRY TO AVOID CREAMY/LIQUID FOUNDATIONS!! It will make u sweat more and takes away from the natural make up look. Same rules go for concealer. Stick concealers only in spots that really need to be covered is a good idea.

Bronzer Is Beautiful. Sometimes all it takes is a little bronzer to keep your face refreshed and beautiful. To avoid looking over cooked and fake this summer, apply only to high points of your face such as high cheek bones, forehead, nose, and chin. Once again use a POWDER bronzer preferably one with various shades so when you apply it it gives a more natural look. Or get a bronzer and blush that's swirled together. It gives a more radiant and eye catching affect.

Lips Worthy of The Proper Care. Don't feel like because its getting warmer outside and lipstick is just to heavy that you have to forget about your lips or use plain old lip balm. They not only need to be moist but they also deserve to be just as hot as the outfit you wear to coordinate with the beautiful weather! Try tinted lip balm. Its gives you a cool feel that's not too thick but also allows you to keep your sexy through color. A lot of tinted balms now a days have SPF protecting your lips from the sun.

Blot Just A Bit. Some of us lets face it- cant help but be shiny. Avoid being hot and looking it too by investing in some blotting papers. A quick press and your off to your destinations. They are easy, affordable and a must have if you suffer from shiny- itis!  You can even blot before applying your powder.
