You've got housework, work from school or work or both. Maybe a husband, maybe children, social commitments, family commitments, it's enough to make you scream! Girl, just go ahead and do it if you have to, when you're done, pick yourself up from the floor and read this article, because we are going to tell you the secret to being superwoman, or at least looking like her. We have to start with beauty, because even when she is fighting off super villains, superwoman still has her look together.


Superwoman tip 1 : get a cleansing routine. Keep it short and simple. Cleansing helps protect your skin from breaking out and looking dull. It also can center you emotionally, the idea of washing off the old and bringing out the new. * Point, make sure you are using the right products for your skin type*


 

Superwoman tip 2: Make up is not your enemy, neither is it your shield. Do not forego makeup or put so much of it on that it looks like you were trying to spackle your face.

 

 

For a good summer foundation,

try going sheer for less coverage (it's okay for imperfections to show through) but an even finish. Get two standard looks, daytime and glamour...for expert help, visit your favorite make-up stand with pictures

in tow, for expert help * Point, do not be pressured to buy everything the beauty consultant shows you*
