1. Moisturize your face and leave for a minute.
2. While your skin absorbs moisturizer do your hair. If you have a short hair just use some hair wax to highlight the contours of your haircut. And if you have long hair make a knot or a bun. If it’s for the official event slick your hair back, if not make it a little loose and let couple of locks hang free.
3. Get back to your face applying concealer with a brush where it’s needed and spots of foundation and loose powder.
4. Apply blush in dots, look up and start brushing the cheeks to create a contoured look.
5. Two coats of mascara to the upper lashes, and one or none to the lower lashes. A natural color eyeshadow apply to the line above your upper lashes very close to them and blend into the corner with your fingertips.
6. Natural lip color with the lip balm or peach lip-gloss.
Also there are other variations of hairdos and makeup but saving time by step-by-step makeup application and hairstyling will let you look polished and perfect in minutes.
