The Day After Makeup *Your Place*

The long awaited night is over and now you wake up in his arms. In your place. Yay! You have your whole arsenal at hand. You get to wear your make up as always!

Well, NO!

Don't get carried away! You' re supposed to be a natural beauty, effortless and glowing.

You'll need:

• A BB or CC Cream. The goal is to blur out imperfections and even out discolourations. Not too much coverage, but not too little either. Skip the powder, your skin needs to be dewy. No face is matte by nature and you will not get to play with highlighters this time around! (A sheer, HD foundation, could be used in emergency situations!)
  

• Lash curler. You won't be able to use your mascara, unless you have a really natural AND waterproof one. You don't want to pop in the shower (together) and become panda eyed! Lash curler+brow&lash clear gel= adorable eyes, sweet and "awake" look. (I added the Lancome Hypnose Mascara because it can be as natural or as bold as you like)

• Cream or mousse blush. Or a cheek/lip stain. Again, it should be natural and ideally water resistant.

•  Your lips should be absolutely kissable, but not glossy. Flushed and soft. A sheer colored lip balm will do.
  

To sum up:

Less is more!

Besides, if you're in love you glow from within. So, let your love and personality shine through, ladies!

The Day After Makeup *His Place*

So, the Big Day (ehmm...night) has come.

You 've finally got intimate AND spent the night together. That means he'll get to see you with a bare face. Wait- WHAT?!

Ok, DON'T PANIC!

Let's take it one step at a time.

You're at his place. Crap.A stitch in time saves nine. I take it you're a clever girl and thought ahead. Beginning with you taking a medium sized bag and not a mini not-even-my-keys-fit-in-it-clutch on your date.

What it is you need:

1. Demakeup wipes. You will definitely need them to take your make-up off or to salvage some of your makeup and get rid of panda eyes, if you slept with your full make-up on (you bad girl, you!!). Try to find mini sized ones or singles.
   
2. A light concealer/illuminator. You don't want a foundation, nor a powder (If you MUST use one, take a sample, that you know suits you, with you). The point is to accomplish a fresh face, and hide your major imperfections. Your guy is no stupid to tell if you wear makeup or not. And he wouldn't like to wake up hugging a (fake) doll!

3. A clear brow & lash gel. You just need to define your brows and your lashes, not colour them. Remember, your goal is a VERY natural look (I added a sample mascara in the photo instead).
4. A cream blush that can double as a lipstick, or the other way round; whatever fits best in your purse (my pick was the Clinique Chubby Stick in Mighty Mimosa).
   
5. A nude soft eye pencil. Put it on your waterline and use a bit in your inner eye corner and blend it well! It shouldn't be obvious; it just needs to lighten up your look! (Erre Due Lasting Contour Eye 22)

Something extra, but perhaps a bit more necessary than make-up. Buy and have with you one of those disposable, foldable toothbrushes and hairbrushes.

There you have it! A natural beauty that he'll be delighted to wake up next to!

What do you think?Would it be your salvation to have the above "kit"?
