Ask Tia Tuesday

Today’s question is from Paula M. Paula asks:

I'm a working mom with limited time in the morning. What do you suggest as a makeup routine that will leave me looking great, but that I can get done in my very sparse morning minutes?

I can definitely attest to wanting to look cute & polished with limited time restraints. Start off by prepping your canvas with moisturizer to hydrate the skin and help foundation glide on with ease. If you have troubled spots on your face, I would dab a concealer closer to your skin tone for a flawless look. Next, apply your powder foundation with a large fluffy brush to give you an airbrushed look. This next product I believe every Woman should own and wear is mascara as its a simple process with dramatic results. Building on two coats of mascara really opens your eyes and gives great definition. Lightly dust some bronzer on your cheeks to bring life to your face and it also adds a pop of color. Lastly, add some tinted lip conditioner or lipgloss to your lips to finish off your look.

Thanks for your question, Paula! If you have a question you’d like me to answer please send it to asktiatuesday@gmail.com and it could be selected for my blog!

Here's 8 makeup tips

tips:

To make lips look fuller try using shimmery lipsticks/lipglosses

Always apply foundation in thin layers, little by little, rather than one thick unnatural layer

Always moisturize your skin before applying powder foundations for a smoother application

In the winter use a heavier moisturizer at least at night for extra hydration as the weather conditions can leave your skin dry

When using lipliners always apply lip conditioners first for smoother application and your lipliner will blend easier

Always set your liquid/cream foundations with a blot powder to seal in the makeup and for a longer lasting application

Try using a blue eyeliner instead of black on the water line to really pop the eyes

To treat puffy eyes try rubbing an icecube over your eyes to decrease puffiness
