Don't let the cold to take over..

Hi Gorgeous,

Hi Guys,
Winter just left and hopefully the spring is coming soon. I am not the biggest fun of cold and snow, never was but anyway I got cold myself but as I've mentioned before always look on bright side, so when I've realised that I have to leave the house and go to see people I've got inspired to show you no-makeup makeup look. While being sick your skin doesn't behave. It is a normal thing to blow your nose, to have watery eyes, feeling grumpy and bad. On the top of that my skin gave me some imperfections as red nose was not enough.. But we all have bad days with our hair so skin is in this team too. First thing is to make sure we are not dehydrated, because our skin will look dehydrated and bad. There will be dry patches all over our face, so drink water.. After blowing nose just apply some moisturiser underneath to make sure there is some epidermis left.. When I think about makeup while I have cold, the only idea I have in my head is something simple, easy, quick but still make me look fresh and radiant. As always I've started with my moisturiser and face primer which in this case is Strobe Cream by MAC. I've picked up this combination to make sure my skin will look radiant and fresh.Now here we have an additional step in our makeup which is a green concealer. For those of you who are starting your adventure with makeup it is something to remember about colour correcting concealers. A Green based concealer will cancel any redness on your skin, so if you have an extra naughty spot and you don't know what to do with it, just start with a green base correcting cream or concealer- it will cool down the redness. If you have a redness on your chicks caused by acne rosacea green based concealer should be you best friend from now on.  There is few brands now which have in their offer a green based moisturisers (for example one of my favourite Avene- you can find it in Boots) and they will be great for all of you with any unwanted redness on your skin. The face foundation I've applied is by Guerlain, I've picked up this foundation because it always gives me this nice healthy, dewy look.It is a yellow undertone which will fix my pink, pale complexion colour while being sick. From the drug store you can pick up Borjouis Healthy Mix foundation or L'oreal True Match. Today I've applied my foundation with a damp Beauty Blender just so I've pressed foundation into the skin and on my imperfections. Next step as always is a concealer under the eyes and to highlight the centre part of my face, after blending it with my Beauty Blender I've baked my under the eye's are with Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder. If you have dry skin you don't have to apply face powder all over your face, it will be enough just to apply it underneath the eyes to prevent concealer from getting into fine lines. The eye-makeup I kept very simple, using only cream eyeshadow, two regular powder eye shadows and face contouring powder as an eyeshadow. To make your eyes look bigger the great trick will be to apply dark eyeshadow  as an eyeliner on your lash line, top and outer corner of the bottom lash line too.
While being sick you probably look pale, so a great option is a bronzer and contouring powder. They will give you this sun kissed look which is highly recommended if you look dull and tired.
When it comes to blusher and highlighter you can apply your favourite one. The lips this time I did with a regular lipstick. A color of the lipstick and lip pencil I went for is pink, it is a natural lip color with a bit more pink undertone. This shade looks great on everybody and it is so flattering. I can't find a perfect dupe for it anywhere. It is amazing and it is looking great in my opinion.
The whole idea of this makeup is to look radiant, fresh and glow.
Hope you like this very easy and basic makeup look and if you have any questions or ideas please write tem in the comments down below.
