The work day has finally reached its end, and you're ready to sip a cool after-work cocktail with friends and co-workers. But first, you need to freshen up after a long day. Let' s face it: the days are getting longer — and yes — hotter. If you don't have time to go home before you hit the town, follow these simple steps to perform what I call "the happy-hour shower."
- Use rice paper to dab off the excess oils from the day. Rice paper absorbs the sebaceous oil that have secreted from your skin throughout the day, leaving a talc-free powder for your new palate to refresh. Best of all, it can be found at any drug store or beauty supply store, in the makeup section.
- Apply a sponge-tip eyeliner applicator to give yourself a smoky eye. Smudge it out for an evening eye.
- Chose a brighter lipstick with a shimmery gloss over the top.
- Finish by spritzing with a refreshing green tea or hydrating aromatic mist. If you know you're going to be enjoying a few cocktails that evening, remember to go light on caffeine and drinks lots of water.
You're now ready to meet your friends and celebrate.
