Makeup time
For everyday makeup looks you want to have a foundation or base cream which is SPF is it. This gives you extra protection from the Sun even when you wear your makeup, which is an excellent base to start on.
Following that, you want some powder to give your face an even look, add some contour if you need to shape your face a bit more, and then some blush. That gives you the base.
Then you want to move on to your eyes. It could be as simple as filling in your eyebrows and putting on some mascara. You may want to have a bit more of a fuller everyday look in that case you can incorporate eyeshadow or felt tip eyeliner into that mix well.
For the lips on an everyday look, you want something quite subtle and natural, so the best colors to go for are nudes or a very light pink which looks very natural. If you feel like you need a bit more than just that, you can also add lipgloss to make it all shiny.
Before Makeup Comes Skincare
Each morning before you put your make-up on for the day you want to do your skincare routine and you also want to do it after the end of the day after you put your make-up off.
Skincare routines are important as they keep your skin looking and feeling fresh and young, as well as get rid of any dirt impurities and blemishes that you may have.
One of the best places to start with your skincare routine is micellar water which cleanses the skin and removes any make-up that may be on there. After that, you can move on to a toner that helps your skin and also a serum.

Let’s Talk Hair
Now hair is everywhere, not just on your head. Many women struggle when shaving as they may just have water and a cheap razor. This is not great as it can make your skin dry, give you a shaving rash and generally be quite sore.
It’s best to get shaving cream or even use conditioner before shaving your legs, arms or whatever you need to shave. Be sure to get a good quality razor you’re less likely to get cuts fresh, and it will have a smoother glide. It’ll be better for your skin.
There is nothing like shaving your legs and getting into fresh bedding. If shaving isn’t your thing, then you can also try wax strips or even go to a beautician to get your hair waxed.
This lasts a lot longer and is more effective, but you need to be able to have a good pain threshold to deal with it.
Now the hair on your head needs to be looked after to stay bouncy, shiny and looking fabulous. Be sure to use a good shampoo and conditioner.
Now depending on the type of hair you have whether that’s greasy, combination, or dry you will have different needs for your hair and different products.
It’s best to research and find the best products for you. For example, one of the more common trends as of late is the curly girl method. This is where people are finding that the hair is super frizzy after they wash it dry with a brush and by simply changing to a different method it turns into beautiful curls.
If you color your hair it’s always best to go to a professional, they know how to treat your hair right, and you won’t end up dying so much they end up breaking off your head.
It takes a bit of skill so it’s something you will want to go to a professional for and to be able to maintain it and keep it looking good ongoing. It gives you a natural and beautiful look with different colors of brown and blonde as the base, but you can always switch it up to suit you.
You could even a hairstyle is incorporated into extensions which will also need to look after in the same way to keep that hair looking fabulous along with your natural hair
