We interviewed Mari Vivace the CEO and President of Inspiration Cosmetics and she shared with us 5 tips on makeup, skin care and the art of taking time for oneself.
1.Moisturize and repair -- Take a few moments for yourself and your skin by using a facial masque. Using a masque can help moisturize the skin, which ultimately keeps the skin looking youthful. So no matter how tired you are from running around all day, your skin will not show the part. As a tip, try using the masque before bed and spend those 5-10 minutes with the masque on relaxing.
2.Cover up -- Have products in your makeup bag that are good for concealing. Lets say your going to be out all day and you barely got any sleep the night before. Its important to be able to hide the fact that your exhausted. Using a concealer product, such as a mint eye highlighter and reflectors can help you look awake. They not only conceal those dark circles but also bring light to your eyes.
3.Multipurpose/Portable -- Buy products that are multi-purposed and can fit in your bag. It will be easier when youre on the go to have a product that can be used for your lips, cheeks and eyes. Having a product that serves many purposes will allow you to look good at all times without having to carry your whole makeup bag around with you.
4.Me time --Give yourself 10 minutes a day everyday for yourself. In that time to do something that you love. Whether that means sitting outside, taking a walk, listening to music, or even just closing your eyes. Make sure you take the 10 minutes at the same time everyday so your family and yourself get used to the routine.
5.Personal style -- Finally wear makeup that accentuates your features not makeup that hides them. By using makeup that brings out your best features, you will be bringing out the best you and with that a new sense of confidence.
