MAKEUP: FAUX GLOW 101
Like
fashion, the beauty component of pregnancy is about accenting the good
and camouflaging the unsightly. When I awaken, (pregnant or not) I am
sallow and baggy eyed. By the time I caffeinate and walk out the door
for work, my skin tone is even and , dare I say it, radiant. Dewiness
and a soft, healthy looking glow is a direct result of neutralizing
discolorations and blending foundation with light reflective particles.
So, when friends praise my “perfect” skin, I chuckle and award myself
high marks for cosmetic craftiness. To achieve the goddess like
perfection of, say, Jennifer Lopez, yank a page from the playbook of
celebs’ glam squad and become a master of calculated subtlety.
SHIMMER PRODUCT
Radiant
celebrities should all give a hearty thank you to shimmer powder in
their Oscar acceptance speeches. Applying shimmer (it comes in a creamy
blush, powder or lotion format) product to the apple of the cheeks,
nose forehead and eyelids will give you that insta luminescence of red
carpet luminaries.
BRONZER
Bronzer is the eighth
wonder of the world. The moment that you feel sallow and unattractive,
apply bronzer to your face, décolleté and other exposed areas. The
result, a sunkissed just- been- to- St Barth’s- glow, will lift your
mood instantly. NOTE: Coating on too much foundation, powder and
bronzer will leave you looking like a tragic 80’s Cake and Bake (see
glossary) victim.
