When being forced into having to apply make up on the run, both convenience and speed are key. Here are the immediate 'throw into bag' products when in a rush, but still wanting to look somewhat put together.
Face
foundation is way too much of a faff. Concealer gets the job done in a fraction of the time spent slathering your face in a heavy duty foundation. I've recently been giving the Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Conealer a whirl and its proven to be quite the hit. It provides enough coverage to conceal blemishes, but the formula is light enough for under the eyes. I have combination to oily skin so a powder is essential, so Rimmel Stay matte powder; need I say more. Finally, a flush of colour wouldn't go a miss. I find cream blushes to be perfect in such a situation. Rimmel Photo Ready Cream Blush in 'flushed' seems to tick the box quite nicely.
Eyes
Eyes are the aspect I focus on the most. So it's goes without saying, I will put in the effort, time or not. Rimmel Scandaleyes shadow paints provide a quick wash of colour over the lids, whilst Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara gives me the option to build up the lashes both top and bottom, whilst still remaining spider-less. Finally, Maybelline Master Precise Felt Tip Liner, gives me the option to achieve a quick winged out liner.
Lips
I always like to have options, but of course a well loved lip balm has got to be in the mix. EOS is no doubt an absolute favourite. Whether it be a natural nude or a statement lip, both are in crayon form to again, save that much needed time. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 'honey' is a definite 'my lips but better' shade, whereas Nars Matte Velvet Lip Pencil in 'Red Square' is a vibrant orange toned red.
I also love the better skin concealer and rimmel stay matt powder. I really need to try that rimmel shadow paint... it looks amazing :) great post and great blog...
