Beauty Emergencies...solved!

 
 
Don't you hate when you're running out the door in a hurry, or getting ready for a night out only to come across a major beauty emergency!
 
We have three quick fixes for the most common beauty emergencies...
 
 
 
#1 - The Monster Zit
It almost seems like your skin knows when you have a big event on or are heading out for a cute date because it always seems like you get that one HUGE zit the right before a big night. Well, never fear - to hide that sucker first dab on a spot treatment and gently rub it in. Next, dot a little concealer onto the pimple and pat it with your ring finger until it sinks in. If needed, pat in another thin layer of concealer and set with powder.

#2 - Dark, Under Eye Circles
When the telltale signs of a late night are there, cover them up with a creamy concealer. Using a small concealer brush, blend the concealer from the darkest part of the undereye circle (usually the inner corner) outward. Make sure you use a concealer that is either one to two shades lighter than your natural skin colour. For staying power, set the concealer with a light translucent powder.

#3 - Creased Eye Shadow
Whenever you're wearing eyeshadow for a long period of time creasing tends to occur. However, you can easily repair this with your finger. Rub the colour over your eyelids, very gently to even it out. In order to avoid creasing altogether, use concealer and set with loose powder or apply eye primer.
