Neutrals rule: Everyday makeup look from Bobbi Brown

Most women are familiar with the morning rush. Every morning, women’s adrenaline kicks in as they scramble to get to work or school looking their best. This daily mad rush entails picking the “perfect” outfit for the day, including the right shoes, accessories, and bag. And the quest to look picture-perfect as one heads out the door is polished off with an impeccably coiffed hair and perfectly applied makeup.

Many women have already mastered the art of selecting the ensemble of the day, but applying makeup is one element in their morning routine that some have trouble acing. Despite the multiplication of YouTube makeup tutorial videos, the task can be pretty intimidating for those who have little experience with cosmetics. Rather than risk looking like a clown, some women would rather step out into the world bare-faced. But as makeup guru Bobbi Brown notes, one can still aim for the natural look without all the fuss (and hard work). The key is working with neutral hues.

For a great makeup look, the basis would always be a healthy, glowing skin, and to achieve this, the skin needs to be properly moisturized, and the tone evened out. All flaws should also be concealed, including visible breakouts and deep undereye circles.

Once these are achieved, it is time to do the eyes. For an everyday look, Brown suggests sticking with the basics, such as soft, brownish tint that will enhance the eyes’ natural contours. As a guide, women can choose a shade slightly darker than their skin. Apply the eyeshadow on the lid and along the lower lashes. Then apply mascara to enhance the lashes.

Pick warm colors for the cheeks such as peaches or pinks for a natural flush. Then use a lip tint that matches the shade of the lips.

The everyday makeup look may be a challenge at first especially for those who are not used to wearing cosmetics. But with regular practice, the morning makeup rush will be a breeze.
