Make Up Games and Night Cream

While not something you'd normally think of in terms of make up games, night creams are an essential part of a make up games routine. The heavy night cream that you smear on your skin is the chief moisture that your tired skin receives at the end of the day. Pick a heavy cream that isn't full of oils if you're hoping to avoid acne, of course, but do find one with rich moisture and plenty of active ingredients to help delay any signs of aging.

Once you've selected your night cream, be religious about washing your face every night and then slathering it on before bed. You can even add special eye creams and other items to your night routine, but the basis of it all should be the night cream that helps to smooth your skin, plump it up with moisture and keep it hydrated and line-free as you sleep. When you wake in the morning, the night cream should help your skin appear smoother and more rested than it would be otherwise - perfect for make up games!

Make Up Games and Spring Colors

With spring in the air, it’s important to choose make up colors that are flattering as well as functional for the warmer months. Bright, hot weather requires lighter colors than the dark cool colors of the winter. There shouldn’t be many smoky black or brown eyes showing up now. Instead opt for make up games using purples or greens shades. You can still do a neutral, but opt for a lighter neutral than you used just a few months ago.

The fun part of summer and spring is to find the shades of make up games that you wouldn’t normally wear and give them a try. Try a bit of sparkle, or spend a long weekend playing with bronzer so that you can return to school with a healthy tan and bright, pretty skin. You can even play with a fake tanner that is more permanent just to see what sort of result you can create to truly celebrate the warmer months of spring that will turn into summer before we know it.
