I could spend hours a day applying makeup, playing with colors and techniques. But most days, I don’t have that kind of time. These 5 things create a look suitable for every day and can be applied in less than 5 minutes.
Mineral Powder: Everyone does coverup differently. Some won’t leave the house without full coverage foundation, while others just touch up a trouble spot. For me, I like just enough coverage without caking it on. That is why I am a big fan of powders, especially mineral powder. My favorite right now is Cover FX Powder FX pressed powder (at Sephora). I just swipe a thin layer quickly over my T-zone and blend and I’m good to go for the day.
Bronzer/Blush Duo: I recently started using NARS bronzer/blush duo. The products are expertly matched to create a natural look with bronzing and highlighting effects. My favorite duo (and the one I hear about most often) is Orgasm Laguna. The name will bring color to your cheeks when you say it, and when you where it.
Duo Eyeliner Pencil: Even with my daily makeup routine, I love adding just a hint of color to my look. That is why I love Vincent Longo Duo Eye Pencils. My favorite is Lime Forrest. The Forrest color helps define my eyes and while the Lime adds that splash of color that I love.
Good Mascara: My personal favorite is CoverGirl LashExact. A good mascara opens up your eyes and makes you look more awake, especially with a clean, fresh face.
A Good Gloss: Looking in my purse right now, I have four very different lip products. But of those, my go-to gloss to finish off my look is Milani Buzz Worthy lip gloss in Bee Mine. This gloss, made with honey extracts and enriched with vitamins A & E, is smooth, not too sticky and provides that little bit of color I need to complete my look.
