here's a quick beauty tip - when you're feeling blah, and your makeup isn't going on right, try this:
after concealing and setting with powder only, apply a pinkish or coralish lipstick/gloss & blush BEFORE you apply the rest of your makeup. you'll see that you'll need less makeup overall! most women need a bit of a healthy flush in their lips and cheeks when they're feeling a bit down, to counteract the pallor, rather than layers and layers of eyeliner and foundation caked on - it's a lot more natural, and you won't feel like you're trying too hard. just remember to keep the tones in the same family, and you're good to go!
the right shade will give your face a lift, as if you've slept a full 8-10 hours, it should have the uplifting effect as if you're one of those insanely happy girls in laundry detergent commercials, frolicking in the meadows.
if it's also a bad hair day, i like to use a bright headband or scarf to accessorize, rather than to try and fix it by overprocessing it with products & hot tools.
how do you deal with bad makeup/hair days?
do drop me a line and let me know how you're doing!
love,

I actually did this. I put on my tinted moisturizer, did my brows and then applied my (delux sample sized) Chanel Rouge Allure in Attitude. I did like the way it looked but then I wasn't feeling the whole "no-eyeshadow" vibe so I took off the lipstick and proceeded to do my usual makeup. Maybe I felt that it was too much color for the office. Very pretty on it's own, nonetheless.
attitude is a reddish-rose... i usually do this with something more natural - like i've barely got anything on... i still do add a wash of eyeshadow though, because i like the lift it gives my eyebrows.
i find the blush/lips first method makes me wear less makeup overall, rather than not wear anything at all!
