CC Beauty Live: Feel Sick, Don’t Look It

March 14, 2010     Posted in Beauty, Style

It’s 8am and you stumble into your bathroom only to look in the mirror, horrified at how sick you look! You can’t miss any more classes (damn you hangovers for making me take an absence when now I really need it), but you also can’t show your face in public looking like this.

What do you do?

No worries, there are tips to help you sick folk (and those of you who are just really tired and can’t stand the thought of putting on full makeup for an hour lecture). A few makeup tricks will have you looking less contagious and more flirtatious in no time.

Just try not to vom or cough on anyone or you’ll ruin the illusion.

    Hi Caitlin, Do you have any hair and makeup tips for humid or rainy weather?

    Great tips! I always try to curl my lashes and apply white powder/liner around my tear duct area. It really opens up your eyes and is so easy! These tips are great when you’re sick (or just busy) and don’t want to fool around with a big routine. I only have two tips:

    -Find a good eye drop and use it! My eyes get so red around allergy season and the only thing that makes the redness go away is my Rohto V. I use it everyday before I apply my makeup.

    -Apply a light shimmery neutral shadow on your eyelids. Like the other eye makeup tips it helps your eyes look awake and bright.

    Last but not least…

    I love CC Beauty Live!

    dot: Great question! Here are some basic tips until I can do a video. For hair look into anti-frizz products. BedHead makes a shampoo and conditioner called Some Like It Hot specifically for humidity, I use those in the summer. Makeup wise you should use a primer if your makeup tends to run in humid/rainy weather. Also, cream based products like cream blushes and the like usually hold up better than powders in humidity. Look for a video on this soon, I hope this helps!

    D: Thank you so much for your support! Your tips are great, too. I have Rohto V as well which is awesome when my contacts start hurting my eyes! Thanks for watching!

    Thanks for the tips! I wouldn't have thought that cream blushes would hold better in humid/rainy weather, so that's something I've gotta try. :)
