I don't wear make up even if I'm a working girl and I admit I still get mistaken for a high school student. I personally want to learn how to make myself look more mature. However, I still haven't made time to sit down and learn how to apply make-up.
I just have a basic prettifying kit that I use whenever I feel too bare or ugly. I think it's important to have that something that will lift your confidence up a bit. For me, it's my lip tint. I may forget the rest of my arsenal, but as long as I have my lip tint I feel like I can face people. I've added a few more things to that. Here's my Bare Essentials Kit:
- Bobbi Brown Velvet Plum Pot Rogue Lip/Cheek Tint- I fell in love the first time I tried it. It has a rich dark brown colour that makes my lips stand out more but in a very natural way.
- Burt's Bees Tinted Lipbalm- The tinted lipbalm adds a hint of colour to my lips. It's not as obvious as the lip tints but it helps so i don't look as pale as i already am.
- Burt's Bees Lip Gloss Ruby Moon - It's one of the darker shades of their lip gloss series. They almost have the same colour as my Bobbi Brown tint but this one has a gloss on it. I love it because even it loses its sheen overtime, the colour still sticks.
- Art Deco Mascarra - I fell in love with this when i first tried it. It elongates my lashes in a very natural way. It's perfect for day make-up, as I don't look like I have a lot of goop on my eyes.
