Is to Not Wear Mascara for the day.
Seriously.

I read it in an article by…. maybe Christy Turlington? Or maybe it was Claudia Schiffer. It was one of those 90s supermodel types in any case, and she swore that the fastest way to look young and fresh was to Not Wear Mascara.

Now, as I already drop the mascara on the weekends (weekday makeup is tricky; weekends are quicky) I’ve started to stealthily drop it during the week too, not for lazy purposes you understand, but for ‘fresh’ purposes.

Of course, one must complement the lack of lashes (which on a lot of people can make them feel naked) by not wearing shadow, but by certainly wearing a lovely all-over base or tinted moisturiser (the more radiant the better), concealer in all the right places, curling the lashes, and a "healthy" (read: a lot) amount of blush or bronzer (bronzer is my preference as it makes my eye whites and teeth beam) to make the look into a ‘Fresh, youthful look as advised by a 90s supermodel’, as opposed to ‘I forgot to wear mascara today,’ look.

Of course, if you are 13 years old and reading this, you can’t physically look much younger and fresher, so why not go read a Babysitters Club book or something and wait for the next post.
