When I don’t have a lot of time, I like to make the few steps I must take in my routine really worthwhile. That means leaving the sometimes daunting process of applying layers of makeup or a good highlight and contour behind in favor of something less time consuming but equally impactful, like filling in my brows. The look below is one of the simplest to pull off, yet still looks polished and perfect for school or work. Here’s what to do.
Start with brows. I’m a firm believer that brows alone can make or break a makeover (so if you feel comfortable going as natural as can be, stop there!) and doing this first will help you determine the rest of your look. For example, if you opt for strong angled brows with a pencil or gel, you may want to achieve softer features in your makeup look, but if you create a natural brow look with a powder, you can amp up the eyes a bit without looking overdone.
Once you’ve decided on brows, move on to primer and foundation. To save time and achieve light coverage without much effort, a tinted moisturizer or BB cream can be a lifesaver. I won’t spend much time on that because everyone’s foundation routine is different. On to the fun stuff: eyes and lips. When pressed for time, there’s no reason to feel the need to take major risks with shadow or teach yourself expert blending techniques if it’s not your strong suit. Simply choose a palette likeToo Faced Natural Neutral Eye Shadow Collection which features shades neutral enough not to show off mistakes as well as an application guide for getting in the groove. No need to overcomplicate things by adding your night or weekend colors in the mix! A few eye shadow errors are bound to happen; be sure to have a Q-tip and eye cream ready so you don’t have to erase the whole look for just a tiny misstep.
When it comes to liner, keeping a busy schedule in mind means two options: a pencil that’s much more forgiving when it comes to precision but likely requires reapplication throughout the day, or spending that extra time in the morning to get your long wearing liquid liner such as Urban Decay waterproof liner just right. Curl your lashes with a heated curler for maximum oomph and staying power, and you won’t have to worry about them for hours. All the above may seem like a lot of steps, but because you have natural shades as go-tos and and a few tricks for saving time, they’ll work up quickly on rushed mornings. All you need now is lip gloss or a low-maintenance stain (try Korres Lip Butter) in a practical color, and out you go! You can always make a bolder statement with your lips, but when time is of the essence, you don’t want to look in the mirror every five minutes. A trusty gloss is good for that!
