amy’s makeup tips:

If you’re like most people your morning routine is usually rushed and harried. You want to look your best, but sometimes you are literally running out the door to catch the train or drop your kids at school. Here are some tips to help you look your best even when you are short on time:
 
1. Skip the foundation routine- Apply a small amount of your foundation on the tips of your fingers, mix it with a little of your daily moisturizer and apply all over your face and neck. Presto! You have moisturized while giving your face a consistent base.

2. Brighten your eyes in a hurry- One of my top sellers is the Butter Pecan Super Cream Shadow. While it’s intended to be a neautral shadow color, I primarily use it for two things:

- An eye primer/foundation, or
- I love it when used by itself as a pick me up for your eyes.

If you don’t have time to apply different shades of shadow, just take your finger and rub it around in the pot (to warm it up and make it easier to apply) and dab a little of this across your lid. What a huge difference it makes. It looks like you are “wide awake!”

3. Reduce puffy overtired eyes- Too many cosmo’s and not enough sleep? Try this trick (without laughing)!  I swear it works! Dab a little Preparation H hemorrhoid GEL (not cream) under your eye. Let it dry and then peel off. I know it sounds crazy but it truly works. Just don’t tell everyone your secret.
