In the interest of simplifying makeup due to the heat and life getting in the way and making things simple just for me to see if I can... this is today's look -- besides school started today, and I'm back in the carpool mode.
I really would have trouble limiting makeup to 5 or 6 items, unless you don't count things like mascara... So I thought I would think of makeup as 5 parts, rather than 5 items, even though many can do double duty: foundation, cheek color, lipstick, eyes, and brows. And then count items with a bit of leeway. And see how fast I can do my look.
Eyes: Base, plus base shade of minerals, plus one color used on outer edges and to line. And Clinique mascara.
Face: Foundation -- Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse, also used as concealer under eyes. I also highlighted up the middle of my face with Chanel, just because I wanted to. The usual rouge and my powder mix and Arbonne blush.
Brows: La Prairie brow pencil.
Lip Gloss: MAC Rags to Riches
It took me about 7 minutes. I'll try to cut the time down tomorrow. If I knew what look I was going for, it would be faster than figuring out what colors to use in the moment. But I never know what I'm going to want to do facewise until the moment. How about you? Can you plan ahead? I even like to travel with enough choices that I don't get bored with my daily looks. I don't think I could take only 1 shade of eyeshadow!
