I’m not ashamed to say that I’m a sweat pants girl.
When I put on a pair of jeans, a skirt or a dress I’m never completely satisfied with how comfortable they are, because I know my sweat pants are comfier. (It’s the curse of years in soccer sweats!)
Even though my soccer years are long over, I still embrace dressing down, only now in a pair of yoga pants and a comfy t-shirt. It’s a Saturday morning look that I can throw on and still feel comfortable and confident.
My one struggle with throwing this outfit on is that I don’t know what to do with my face!
Make up, no make up, a little make up? Having a totally done up face with a dressed down outfit can be a little hilarious! But, wearing no make up can make me feel a little unprepared.
So where’s the balance?
I’ve found a combination that I’m comfortable with. It includes four basic make up products:
- Concealer
- Foundation
- Eye-liner
- Mascara
I have two issues with not wearing make up. First, I have splotchy skin so my foundation helps me even it out. Second, my eyes are a little sleepy so wearing eye make up on a regular basis helps me keep them looking open and alert!
In this combo, concealer works first to cover any blemishes. Then foundation helps even out your skin. Eye-liner and mascara are the duo that will prevent any annoying “you look tired” statements.
At least that’s what it does for me! What works for you?
