 In and out, morning to night magic!

My “in the morning, getting ready for work” makeup is not the same look I need for the evening.  I don’t have time to rework my make-up if I’m meeting friends for dinner or rushing to be on time for a party.

I want in and out simplicity but still look fabulous.

I may own too many facial products and makeup but I can’t spend hours doing makeup in the morning.  I want maximum results quickly and easily.

I have very oily skin.  Having less wrinkles later in life is the only advantage to my not flattering, greasy shine.  I am forever looking for products to control it and keep me looking fresh all day.  But looking fresh and oil-less into the evening is almost impossible.

Fret not, Alia.

I discovered Rimmel’s Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation that comes in a tube.  I love that it comes in a tube.  It makes getting the right amount of foundation easier.  It’s feather light, oil free and delivers all day shine control with a matte-ifying finish.  This formula doesn’t cake, isn’t heavy and offers full coverage.

The weight is over – finally, shine has met its matte!

Here I am in all my early morning glory.  The only thing on my face is Rimmel’s Stay Matte Foundation in light Ivory.  I always use a blending sponge when applying foundation.

The consistency is super soft and almost weightless.  It feels as if I’m hardly wearing anything.  But as you can see, full coverage!

For eye shadow I use a neutral shade all over my lids.  Then I go with a light soft shadow for definition.  (Easy to build on.)

Mascara is very important to me. My lashes are long and sometimes mascaras clump or flake. I can tell immediately if a mascara is going to be good.  Rimmel’s Scandaleyes mascara is rich and luxurious.  It is so lush it glides on my lashes perfectly.  See for yourself.

Can you see the difference from the left to the right?  ONE COAT!

Ready for fun?  Let’s paint!

For my night out, I have no time for a total make-up do over.  So I layer onto what I’m already wearing.  I dust my amazing, still working Rimmel foundation with loose powder and define my eyes with darker eyeshadows.  No need to touch up my lashes as my Rimmel mascara is still as lush as it was this morning!

I do a quick curl to my hair.

 

Then some lipstick for a pop!

And I am ready to go!

Rimmel products can be found at Walmart and everything I used cost less than $15.00!

Also, April 2014 is RIMMEL’s 180 year anniversary, and there will be a $1 off coupon in the Sunday newspaper for the foundation and mascara I used!
