They say not to rub your wrists together right after applying fragrance, because this can end up altering the scent. Instead, just spray one of your wrists, and touch it to the other. That simple! For a lighter touch or heavier perfumes, spray your chest once, and tap both your wrists to dampen them slightly.
It's a good idea to apply your fragrance a little higher on your arm, that way it won't come off when you wash your hands throughout the day.
Also, always spray fragrance directly on your skin, rather than on your clothes. Fragrance is meant to work with the warmth and oils of your skin to create your own unique scent. If you spray it on your clothes, the alcohol might actually ruin the fabric, so be careful!

How To Do Your Makeup When You're Half Asleep!
Recently I got a job that requires me to wake up at 6AM. By the time I get completely ready, there's usually not more than 5 minutes left for makeup. This might be enough for some people, but I am so slow in the morning that it can take me about twice the time to do something! Here, I have pretty much everything I've been doing to make myself look like I actually had a good night sleep.
EYES:
I have really veiny, reddish eyelids, so I use a bit of MAC's Painterly Paint Pot to cover that up. I'm a contact wearer, so if I didn't get enough sleep, my contacts can sting pretty badly. I usually wait till I'm about to leave to put them on, but in the meantime, I like to apply some lubricant eye drops to prevent the stinging. I really don't have time to actually apply eyeshadow, so I just add some liner to my inner rims and some mascara, and I try to curl my lashes when I can. I always, always, always apply a little bit of clear mascara to my brows, and that instantly makes me look put together.
FACE:
Where I live, it can get pretty cold in the morning, causing my skin to get red and sometimes dry. I like to use a sunscreen because it's more emollient than my normal Clinique Dramatically Different Gel. I usually apply a quick layer of liquid foundation, and skip powder. Then, I apply a generous amount of my choice of blush, which for this winter has been either Nars Sin or Inglot #55. I never skip blush, because I think it takes me from ghost to normal. :)
LIPS:
For lips, I'm usually the type to only wear lip balm, but recently I've been keeping one of the new Revlon Lip Butters (shade Berry Smoothie) in my coat pocket. I usually smack this on once I'm already out the door.
Thanks for reading!
