Since the pandemic began a year ago, we have had to become accustomed to wearing face coverings. While the purpose of a face mask is to keep us and others safe and healthy, it feels unnatural to have half of our face concealed from the world.

During this challenging, difficult time in this reality, while many people have been affected by the pandemic, and many have lost their lives, it may seem trivial to worry about looking good in a face mask.

However, as women, we want to feel beautiful at all times. And we should. If you are looking to catch the attention of that cute guy or stand out in a crowd of masks, there are easy things you can do while wearing a mask to feel more beautiful. You don’t have to conceal your beauty entirely.

1. Choose a facemask that is flattering for you.

One of the first steps you can take in making yourself more attractive in a face mask is to choose the right color that’s best for you. A mask that makes you look good flatters your skin tone, hair color, and eyes can enhance your appearance while wearing a face mask.

 A face covering can overtake a person’s presence. Masks tend to add shadows under the eyes and emphasize the skin below the eyes that may have signs of aging and dark circles. Choosing a color for your mask can help detract from these problem areas. 

Many people like to wear face masks that are darker in colors such as black or navy. Dark-colored face masks can bring shadowing under your eyes which can make you look tired or older.

A lighter-colored face mask, such as a pastel color, can help bring light to your eyes. Bold colors such as gold or red are great for standing out in a crowd full of mediocre masks.

 2. It’s All About The Eyes

If there is a silver lining in wearing a face mask, it makes everyone’s eyes the main focus. In fact, due to not expressing ourselves with our faces, the eyes have taken over how we communicate.

Every woman can make her eyes look even more beautiful. The first step is to have an excellent undereye serum that helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes.

Applying a light eye shadow across the upper lids can accentuate your eyes. Also, applying eyeliner and mascara can not only define your eyes but make them stand out. If you are not a fan of dark eyeliners, you can take a shimmery eye shadow and wet it with a face-setting spray and line your eyes with a liner brush for the same effect.

Finally, if you are looking to flirt or seduce with your eyes, wearing a sultry eyeshadow look can bring an allure and sexiness to your eyes.

3. Frame Those Beautiful Eyes

For the past decade, eyebrows have become a superstar feature on the face. Now, more than ever, because of face masks, eyebrows play an essential role in our appearance. So why is it key to maintain your eyebrows?  Well, it’s because they frame your eyes. There are many ways you can make your eyebrows appear more attractive.

The first would be to groom your brows using a tweezer. However, don’t go crazy and start plucking your eyebrows to the point where you look like a 1920s or 30’s movie actress.

What you want to do is tweeze areas on your brows that are overgrown and in between your eyes. Secondly, using these three products can shape and define your brows. A spooley, eyebrow pencil/powder, and gel. A Spooley helps groom eyebrows because it brushes the eyebrows. When you brush your eyebrows upwards, it makes them look fuller.

An eyebrow pencil or powder will fill in any sparse areas. Also, it will make your eyebrows look more defined. It’s essential to use an eyebrow pencil or powder that matches your natural eyebrow color. A shade that is too dark can create a harsh look on your brows.

Lastly, an eyebrow gel is helpful because it sets your eyebrows. After you have brushed and filled in your eyebrows, the gel helps to lock the hairs in place. There are many gels available that are specifically for the eyebrows. Some great options are:

• Clear Brow Gel – Anastasia Beverly Hills | Sephora
• Gimme Brow+ Tinted Volumizing Eyebrow Gel – Benefit … – Sephora
• Elf Wow Brow Gel

4. Step Up Your Style

Since the pandemic, many people have been drawn to comfortable clothes. That is fine. However, A lot of people have become too comfortable in the way they are dressing. The loungewear look has not only been a staple in the home, but it has made its way out to streetwear.

Your clothes are a way of expressing yourself. Stepping up your style is an essential aspect of your appearance. You don’t have to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. It’s easy to adjust your style, so you can stand out and be noticed.

Adding color to your outfits, wearing a fashionable top, also, wearing intricate statement pieces that look chic can help level up your look. Adding accessories like a beautiful necklace, bracelet, and handbag can show your style to the world.

Coordinating your mask with your outfit is another way to look fashionable. Try to avoid clashing prints and colors. For example, it’s best not to wear a plaid mask with a striped shirt.

5. Level Up Your Skincare Routine

While most of the face is covered by a mask, your forehead and undereye area are still on display. Maintaining your daily skincare routine and incorporating new products is vital in having beautiful skin.

Exfoliating your face once or twice a week can help to give your skin a glowy look. If your forehead is not looking as smooth as you would like it to be, using a moisturizer and serum with hyaluronic acid can help diminish fine lines and wrinkles.

Niacinamide can help fade away dark spots and acne marks that are noticeable on the forehead. If you need a quick fix for a blemish, use your ring finger take some concealer, and lightly dab it over the blemish. This is a great way to cover up any skin problems that you may feel insecure about.
