When it comes to makeup, Ms. Garcia has the opposite strategy. 'Clothes you unpeel; the makeup you slowly add on,' she says, noting that she usually starts her day wearing 'minimal makeup just a little Chanel moisturizer and foundation.'As the day progresses, she starts adding on more makeup, such as eyeliner, bronzer and blush.
談到化妝,加西亞女士的策略剛好相反。“著裝你要做減法,化妝就要慢慢地做加法,”她說。通常在一天開始的時候,她只會化”很簡單的淡妝,用一點香奈爾(Chanel)的日霜和粉底液就好。”慢慢地,她開始加厚妝容,比如劃上眼線,涂上古銅色亮粉,再掃點腮紅。
'If you start very made-up from the get-go, by the evening, it's harder to refresh that look,' Ms. Garcia says. 'It's best to start with a cleaner palette.'
加西亞女士說,如果一開始就濃妝艷抹,到了晚上,就會很難更新自己的妝容,最好是開始的時候使用干凈的妝容。
Another little secret: for long days on the go, Ms. Garcia often wears shoes that are half a size too big, inserting gel insoles if they're a little loose. This gives her feet a little more room so her shoes don't start to pinch late in the day. 'If I'm going to be in heels all day, it feels very comfortable,' she says.
另一個秘訣是:對付走路比較多的一天,加西亞女士常常會穿大半個尺碼的鞋子,如果太松的話,就塞上凝膠鞋墊。這讓她的雙腳有了多余的活動空間,到傍晚的時候就不會感到夾痛。“如果我要從早到晚都穿高跟鞋,這樣會感覺非常舒適,”她說。
