“Less is more”: a sleek, quick and simple make-up look with Avon Cosmetics Ultra Colour 3D Uptown Pink

Less is moretold architect Mies van der Rohe, and this is totally true with make-up. Keeping a make-up look essential and naturally glowing makes it almost mistake proof and sometimes effortlessly elegant.
This is why in the morning, I often opt for very quick face makeovers, especially when it’s around 7 a.m.!

A natural face base, without strong contouring, some light gold and peach touches and a creamy warm pink lipstick what else?

Can you tell from this picture I only sleep 4 hours a night and I have naturally very dark under eye circles? But, most important, do you think I want to wear tons of make-up early in the morning before taking a bus?
It’s not necessary for a sleek make-up look. Keep your make-up simple: “less is more”.
