Everyday Face

What do you do when you just don't feel like doing any over the top makeup? When you're just not up for spending an hour on your face, because you're in a super big hurry?




Eyes: I use MAC Paintpot in Painterly as a base, then I use UD Scratch, Shag, and Underground, sometimes I'll use Honey instead of Scratch, but Scratch is such a pretty color... And for mascara, it varies, right now I'm using Maybelline Colossal. I also use the highlighter side of my NV Mineralalize Skinfinish (the shimmer side) for a highlight

Face: I use a 187 brush with one sqruit of Mineralize Satinfinish foundation (MAC). Powder side of the NV all over, then I use the shimmer side on my cheek bones, my nosey, brow, and above/under my lips. I use Estee Lauder bronzer in the hallows of my cheek, and Pleasantry blush on the apples of my cheek, nothing over the top, just a little for a pinkie cheek.

Lips: Carmex!

Wow even that's too much bother for me!
GORGEOUS THOUGH!
But I just do some mascara, concealer and a tiny bit of blush or pale bronzer on the apples of my cheeks.
Et voila!

My everyday pre-work make-up is usually;
- Foundation, focusing on areas where I have redness or blemishes (very little on cheeks) applied with a brush.
- MSF natural buffed over the top
- Blush (I never skip this because I'm so pasty!)
- Mascara (Blinc)
- Lip balm or natural gloss

If I do eyeshadow in a rush it'll be something like a a bronzey brown wash with a darker crease, same darker colour as a liner and highlight.

That's about 5 to 10 minutes max. If I'm having a really good skin day (very rare!!) I'll skip foundation and just use concealer and the MSF.

LOL, I did a full post about this a few months ago.

Here it is!

It takes no more than 7 minutes. I refuse to do a full face at school anymore, it always ends up effed. I try to make time for the eyeshadow to look more pulled together, but sometimes I won't even have time for it. That's why I've been crazy for palettes lately.

Man, I haven't been arsed to spend one hour on make up in for ever. School has helped a lot though, it used to take me an hour for relatively simple make ups (full face, 4-6 shadows and blush/contour), now it's about 20 minutes. Yay fashion shows.

I'll take a picture of my school (aka 5-10 minute) face tomorrow. Then I just have to find my usb cord...

It looks pretty similar to yours though, Jaime. I usually use (MAC) Sunday Best as highlight, Retrospeck all over lid and Showstopper or Woodwinked in the crease. That's if I can be bothered with eye shadow.

I don't think I really have one. I do my normal foundation/powder/concealer and I guess when I'm in a hurry the only thing I really do different is use my Rubenesque paint pot (I only really use it when I'm rushed usually since I hate it) and put any random light nuetral or pink shadow over it then use just any highlight shade. I use just whatever blush and sheer gloss I see first. And then mascara and some liner on my waterline.

If I don't have the time I usually just use mascara, pressed powder and carmex on my lips. I end up taking more time fixing mistakes when I rush so I don't bother. I spend most of my time in a lab coat looking down a microscope so who cares?!

I use CG Smoothers in Fair to Light, then Bare Minerals in Fairly Light over it and BM in Fair for concealer. Then I do my eyebrows and mascara and sometimes blush. [I have pinky cheeks naturally so most of the time it's not needed] and thennn.. lip balm. That's about it.

I don't wear foundation and I only wear concealer on my dark circles, so when I'm in a rush I can still spend quite some time on my eyes.
When I'm lazy I stick to mascara, black pencil liner (if I want to do flicks I use my Max Factor sparkly black with a damp liner brush) and subtle pink gloss.

No matter what, I always use mascara. Depending on my level of laziness, that and a swipe of lip balm is as far as I go. If I'm feeling a tad industrious, I add some blush and a little gloss to the equation.

Haha. you should see my quick make-up look...I get up at half 5 though. So I think I'm justified in looking a state.

I cover up my circles and use a light tan metallic shadow, then do my eyebrows and mascara and lips. The whole thing takes me maybe 5 min and I do it on the subway on my way to work.

Jayme, you make me grumpy because you're so pretty you don't need makeup

Oh to have flawless skin..

*huff*

Omg Jamie I'm sold on Pleasantry now. That's gorgeous. Mine is normally sorta like yours, but normally less shadow and a brighter lip to make up for it (I sleep in way too much).

DUDE IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
It's so bueatiful and omg it's like so pigmented and like you can tell what it is cuz you'll ask the MA what the best seller is and she'll say that, and then it's marbleized pink.

lol
omg jp (ANYBODY GET MY REF?!?!)


But yeah, it's beautiful,
like you can just do a keep sweep for light color, or build it up for PINK PINK PINK cheeks.

Aww thanks Jess.: )
My skin isn't that great alone, I like it with foundation, it's more glowy! :O

jamie, you're actually way too pretty. i envy everything about you. >.<

if i'm in a rush, i'll use a gold/brown on my eyelid, a darker brown in the outter corners, eyeliner, and mascara. and for skin, i just use a concealer and face powder. and lip gloss of course.

Haha Jamie I totally get your ref.

Anywho, most days I do powder, mascara and lip balm. Sometimes I do a few diff brown shadows on my lid, but I'm way lazy.
