Project confidence is our most important project, and after the results of our recent beauty survey, it appears self-confidence is at an all-time low.
Studies show that 1/3 of women will never leave the house without foundation, and women will chose not to go without make-up any more than one day per week. Sound familiar?
The fear of being seen without a full face of make-up needn’t be as scary as it seems to be. Foundation was voted the number one confidence-boosting make-up product, but there are so many other less heavy, softer alternatives that let your natural beauty shine through.
Make-up is fantastic for enhancing beauty, so let’s not focus on ‘masking’ our beauty – lets just enhance!
Check out these awesome beauty enhancers below. They’re so genius and hard-working, and promote just how polished and professional you can look with the smallest touch…
