Think it’s impossible? Here are 5 simple steps to achieve a fresh and radiant face in no time!

There are days with and – for those who dare – days without makeup. In the second case, there’s no question that the slightest sign of tiredness will be obvious.

Got no time for the usual routine? Here are some super simple tips to awaken your eyes and your face in 5 minutes – with the help of Melvina Loiseaux, Make Up Artist at BareMinerals.

1. Using a fan brush, cover the eyelid with a good amount of powder by moving back and forth. The powder will position itself to define the eyelid and as a result your eyes will immediately appear more open and dynamic.
2. If you have dark circles, do  a “mini-contouring” by applying the illuminator in small touches to form a triangle from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye and the tip of which comes in the middle of the cheekbone. This gesture will instantly bring up the light which will be then reflected as if by magic under the eyebrow. Fresh and bright effect guaranteed!
3. For more shine, you can put a touch of highlighter on the other “grooves” of the face, especially at the cupid’s bow (the groove between the nose and mouth) and at the chin dimple. Brush on the outer face with a tan powder to shade the top of the forehead, cheekbones and jaw.
4. Drop a hint of freshness on the cheekbones: smile and blush the apples of your cheeks. Your complexion is now radiant!
5. Finish with a delicate touch on your lips by applying a gloss coordinated with your blush colour. Natural healthy glow guaranteed!

BareMinerals products are available exclusively at Sephora stores.
