I love the freedom of easy makeup days. Usually Sundays for me. Most of the time I don't bother at all. I like to give my skin the day off if I can but, whether I'm running out for coffee or to run errands there is a small arsenal of products I refer to so I can be out the door in under five minutes.
The best part?
For base it's a one and done scenario for me. I reach for the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer and Highlighter in Radaint. I don't know what it is about this color but not every retailer seems to stock it. I found this backup at Ulta and it is one of my favorite lazy day concealing products.
A swipe under each eye and down the center of my face leaves everything feeling and looking fresh and bright.
To tame the brows I run a little of the Eseence Lash & Brow gel through to get rid of any flyaways. I have a pretty hardy brow to start with so this step is fine for me but if you're working with less a tinted gel might be more up your alley.
The MAC original Brow Set is still the favorite of all the ones I've tried.
In keeping with the eyes I love a good shadow stick for quick one sweep application. I have yet to find a formula that beat the Mally Ever Color Shadow Sticks for longevity. They are creamy, blendable, and stick around for hours. There is a brush in the photo I used for blending but it is completely optional.
The shade Saddle Shimmer is a can't miss warm golden taupe that is fool proof when worn alone.
Now no look is complete without a healthy dose of mascara. As it is the YSL Shocking is still ruling my life but a recent Sephora Friends & Family haul has put an old favorite back in my hands.
I like to really go to town here. I think enough mascara can create easy, fast, and full definition.
As for blush I think it's nearly impossible to go wrong with the Kevin Aucoin Creamy Glow blush formula in the shade Tansoleil. It is the perfect natural flush shade in a formula that sits somewhere between a set powder and a glowy cream.
I think when you are cutting down products blush is a really important one to stick to. It adds so much and is so easy to do.
Finally a nice easy lipstick for a look like this would be a classic "your lips but better" shade. I opted for a nice sheer version in the form of a Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle.
Although if you've seen my other quick an easy makeup routine you know I'm not above whacking on a red lip here for a little extra oomph!
It'll take you less time to put on this makeup than it did to read the post.
Happy Makeuping!
