Make-Up: Before and After

Source: No Way Girl


I don't know about you but I
definitely look better with make-up on. 
I know that natural beauty is a thing to be proud of 
and I admire when someone can glow 
without a touch of make-up. 
But most woman benefit from face primping. 
A wave of the mascara wand, some sparkle to the lips and BAM!
We're a little bit prettier. 

One of my favorite examples of this is 

MaskCara's highlighting and contouring tip which was featured on

Allure's Beauty Blogger 2013 Challenge. 

I mean, look at what a difference there is in this picture - 

no changes in lighting and no Photoshop here! Wow!

I love MaskCara's blog.. tons of great beauty tips!

And although I really like the softer make-up application she does here,

 I also like the dark eyes and red lipstick look

like this one here by 

make-up artist Vadim Andreev. What a transformation!

A darker brow and a red pucker can go a long way.. 

this look is so bombshell!

But really, you don't need a 

pound of make-up to take your face from blah to beautiful. 

A natural beauty like Jessica Biel already looks amazing 

in her plain face but she elevates that glow of hers

to another level with light rosy cheeks, 

a touch of mascara and a shimmer to her lips.

Wow!

It's really incredible how much a little bit of make-up 

can do for us. I'm all for accepting and loving who we are 

at our core, 

but I'm also for making ourselves feel our very best 

and working with what we've got. 

I'm off to play with some eyeliner!
