I’ll admit that while I do love to wear a full face of makeup, there are days when I just don’t have the time to apply all of it. If I’m running late and I don’t have enough time, this is my fast and easy bare necessities look. I only use 5 products and it takes about a maximum of 10 minutes! So for all of you that are scrambling to get out the door, this post is going to be your guide. Natural Finish Foundation When my skin is going through a texture or acne phase, I use foundation all the time. I try very hard to get a foundation that matches the color and undertone of my skin, but I also try to find one that gives me the finish that I want. I have a more normal-dry skin type, but I don’t like completely matte or dewy foundations. I like something in the middle, so that’s why Too Faced Born This Way Foundation has been a constant repurchase in my makeup collection. There are so many shades to choose from and it works with either a beauty blender or a brush. Brows If you read one of my previous posts, then you’ll remember that I mentioned the Benefit Cosmetics Goof-Proof Eyebrow Pencil. I’m not going to go into too much detail since I’ve already written about it, but it is my holy grail eyebrow pencil. Water Resistant Mascara If you don’t already have this in your makeup bag, then you should probably run to your nearest drugstore, because water resistant mascara is such a lifesaver. Mascara formulas that are made to resist the effects of water hold the curl in your eyelashes the longest and they are less likely to smudge throughout the day when you’re running around from place to place. I’ve been using the Pacifica Aquarian Gaze Water Resistant Mascara and it has not smudged on me at all since I started using it. Rosy Pink Blush I’m not going to lie, I feel like I can look a bit ghost-like if I don’t have some color in my cheeks. Benefit Cosmetics Rockateur Blush has been my all time fave for almost two years and I’m surprised that I haven’t gone through this whole box (I do not like the tacky packaging but the blush color is so beautiful that I deal with it). It’s a soft rosy pink with a slight bit of shimmer to give your skin a healthy glow. Everyday Lipcolor While Marilyn Monroe once said, “give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world,” I also believe this can apply to someone’s lipcolor of choice. I hardly ever stray from my natural nudes and pinks for the color of my lips, but lately I’ve been loving Maybelline Color Jolt in Stripped Down. It is a much darker color than I am used to, but I’m really enjoying this product for a simple makeup look. I hope all of you have a great rest of your week and enjoy the weather because it is finally springtime! Ciao! Xo, Abby
