I've been super busy lately but just the other week, I got to unwind a little. Ah, the joys of being pampered. It's been almost a year since BlogHer, the last time I got my make-up done by specialists. It wasn't the only reason I was there though. I was out to grab you Spring Beauty Tips!
With the flowers returning, pollen is in the air and that's pretty and all. What's not pretty are our allergy-puffed faces, the unnatural redness, the difficulties breathing, and so on. Did you know 50% of women cancel their dates and appointments with others due to their "allergy face"? More depressingly, 58% of women have been told they look like "they're coming down with something" during these times, as if we really needed the reminder.
1) Sleep with your head raised on a pillow.
2) Go easy on eye makeup. Shape and pencil brows to lift your face and distract from watery eyes.
3) If you have a red nose, add illuminating powder to the top of your cheekbones.
4) Keep your makeup bag current. I've suffered from these beauty bag blunders too as old makeup doesn't help our cause. Use the one-two-three rule. Keep blush no longer than 1 year, mascara no longer than 2 months, and check your lipstick very 3 months for discoloration.
5) Keep it simple. Dampen your makeup brush before applying products to provide a more dramatic look that distracts from allergies.
6) Use gentle cleansers that don't irritate your skin more than your allergies already have.
7) Use a cotton swab to dab a shimmery pearl shadow on between the bridge of your nose and eyes to help brighten your face.
Once I had my allergy face disguised, I had a lunch date with Novak! Not the tennis Novak who I've watched play and would love a pic with but Steve Novak, a giant of a basketball star. Who's a New York Knicks fan?
Off to McDonalds I went to check out the unveiling of their new Premium McWraps that range from 300 to 600 calories depending on the flavor and your choice of crispy or grilled chicken. The three yummy flavors include Ranch, Bacon and Sweet Chili. I only had the opportunity to try the Sweet Chili McWrap but I apparently picked a good one because that was Steve's favorite.
