BEAUTY BAR: I Woke Up Like This

July 29th, 2015 at 2:00am

If this Fashionista had a theme song, it would no doubt be Beyoncé’s “***Flawless”. No matter how great people say makeup is, she’ll never use it, meaning that she literally “woke up like this.” Nothing is more satisfying to her than going out without it. She lets her natural beauty show and uses only Vaseline and lotion to hydrate her skin. Her stance against makeup is something I admire but don’t have the courage to do myself. I just love eye makeup way too much, and yet I believe this Fashionista’s barefaced summertime look should be studied further.

So what are the advantages to her sans makeup look? For one, runny makeup is never cute; when you wear it, you run the risk of having your mascara and other beauty products muddled with sweat. Going out without anything on is probably the smarter option. Let’s face it, trying to find the right combination of products that doesn’t melt and clog your pores can be extremely difficult. That is why she believes going makeup free is the best beauty tip for the summer. When asked about it, she said “it’s easier and your skin doesn’t get irritated as much. Your skin is beautiful, and you should work it!” Her flawless complexion is a testament to the simple beauty routine. Hers in particular only requires a facial scrub, some lotion and and she’s ready to go!

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? To achieve her look, start off your morning routine with a nice facial scrub. Once you’ve done this, dry your face and apply lotion or sunscreen. Then, lightly rub Vaseline onto your eyebrows, lips and above and below your eyelids. This will help highlight your eyes and bring out your complexion.
