For quick everyday makeup these are the staples every woman should have in her beauty arsenal. Put your best face forward in 10 minutes with these 6 products.
Tinted Moisturizer.
Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer provides enough coverage to mask minor imperfections, but is light enough to look like you aren't wearing any makeup. It's moisturizing (hence the name), and leaves the skin with a very subtle yet radiant glow. Fake perfect skin with this amazing product.
Concealer.
I love concealer and it is by far my favorite makeup product. A few dabs of NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer works like magic to instantly brighten eyes and conceal darkness. {Insider Tip} Don't forget to apply concealer to the area between the inner corner of your eye/ side of your nose. {Bonus} Most concealers conceal darkness under the eyes or camouflage blemishes, but I find that this one works great for both.
Brows.
Anastasia's Brow Wiz is easy to use and makes a subtle but significant difference. Brush brows up and out with the brush end. Then fill in brows with small strokes to fill in bare spots and enhance the shape. I personally like selecting a shade lighter than my brows for a more natural look.
Lips.
Aquaphor, Spice & Montego Bay.
I always use aquaphor to prep my lips for lipstick or wear it alone as a gloss. It instantly plumps lips and is very moisturizing. Spice lip liner (MAC) with Montego Bay lipstick (NARS) is my go to lipstick and lip liner combo for daytime. This combination gives a natural yet polished look.
Blush.
I love cream blush or even a few dabs of red lipstick on my cheeks. Adding a little color to your cheeks instantly gives you a healthy, flushed, pulled-together appearance. HD Blush by Make Up Forever is my favorite.
Mascara.
Clinque’s High Lenghts mascara is a miracle worker. It lifts and lengthens lashes and instantly makes eyes look bigger, sexier and more awake. I’ve been using this mascara for a few years now and I’m obsessed.
Ta-Da! You look great and you still have time to grab a coffee before work!
