Yes, there is morning Kathy. She barely resembles daytime or evening Kathy. For as long as I've been wearing makeup I have been taking out morning Kathy long before anyone sets eyes on me. I used to spend a fortune on make-up and essentials. But in this economy, even my face is on a budget.
So I thought this would be a great post. A before and after make-up session. How to get a look with great products for meager dollars. From smoky eyes to sexy pouty lips. Get ready to turn heads and save a buck or two at the same time. Looking haute has never been easier or cheaper.
Okay, here goes...this is morning Kathy, lines and all. I've been told this is natural beauty. Hummm...not buying!
Your cheapest and most essential beauty product? Noxema. Yes, the old stand by face wash. My daughters swear by it. At 37 (twins) they could pass for 25 easy. And at a cost of about $4.00 for the big jar, it's a tried and true major bargain.
Cleansing and moisturizing your skin is number one. My face cleansing regime now, consist of Avon's ANEW ultimate age repair skin care line. The night cream and the day cream with an SPF 25, both for around $34.00 each.
The contouring eye system for those crows feet and fine lines, about $ 32.00. I've used products that cost far more with much less results. And the great thing about these products is Avon runs special campaign brochure prices all the time. (No, I don't sell any of these products : ).
I'd just like to add that, especially at our age : ) the face is not the only thing that needs attention. I love the age repair total body cream, about $30.00.
Next, is using good make up. I didn't say costly! What I love? What works for me? And again, I used to buy insanely priced cosmetics. Now...for my liner, I love LA Colors Auto Eyeliner, retractable pencil in black/brown. I think black is harsh on anyone. Beautiful color that goes on with ease.
I also love Avon Glimmer Sticks eyeliner pencils in an array of colors. I don't venture out with color often. But on special occasions I do add a touch of color to my lower and inner lids. I only use color as an accent. Not for a complete line.
Revlon Colorstay Mineral Matte Foundation in perfect colors. About $11.99 @ Target
I can't say enough about Almay one coat dial up Mascara. In one word...awesome! Only about $ 7.99
LA Colors 12 color Eye Shadow Pallet for about $6.00. I get the shades browns and shades of grays. I use whatever color suits my mood on a given day : ). Both pallets have white shadow for highlighting.
Cover Girl 3 shades of blush for about $6.00. This is something I rarely use, but on special occasions I like to change up the look a bit and add a little flush to my skin tone.
Remmel natural Bronzer for about $4.00 Amazing product!
NYC Lip Gloss... $4.00 and under. I couldn't live without this sleek little tube of lusciousness. I rarely use lipstick color.
Maybelline concealer stick. A MUST! About $5.00 anywhere.
And last, but not least Maybelline eye brow pencil. $3.00 for twin pack. Yes, the old red twin pack brow and liner pencil your mama used. The best cosmetic in the world. And here's why...
If I were shipwrecked on a dessert island and had a choice of what 3 items of makeup I could have for the rest of my life, what would they be?
#1. Maybelline brow pencil because I can color my brows, line my eyes and my lips! This was a tip from a great makeup artist in the 70's and I still use it today.
#2. Can't live without my concealer.
#3. Mascara because your UNFINISHED without it ladies! It makes me crazy when I see a woman completely made up and then her lashes are bare : (.
Daytime Kathy : ) Much better!
