There are days when I'm all for spending a billion years doing my makeup, but as school has almost fully kicked into swing, I've gotten slightly (a lot) lazier. On lazy days (everyday) I just stick to the essentials.
1. Concealer
After I've done my sunscreen I just slap and blend the timeBalm concealer in Light/Medium from theBalm on any imperfections. Just a little bit of this covers everything and lasts the whole day, making your skin look absolutely flawless.
2. Powder
As an oily-skinned gal, I can't live without powder. Just a dusting of the Trish McEvoy SPF 15 Mineral Powder in Natural sets my concealer up for the whole day and gives slight coverage, keeping the skin looking perfectly natural. I do require a blot throughout the day as my skin is oily, but for those with normal/perfect or dry skin, you should be good to go.
3. Bronzer
My cheekbones are basically non-existent, so I use bronzer to make my face actually have a shape. I dust the Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Bronze (although it's not my favorite) on just below the cheekbones, along the temples and forehead, down the sides of the nose, and under my chin and onto the neck to contour. Not only does it slim my face down, but it makes my face match the rest of my body, as I'm better at putting sunscreen on my face than the rest of me. Whoops.
4. Blush
Blush is definitely a must for me if I don't want to walk out of the house looking like a zombie. My favorite is the Trish blush in Natural. It gives a subtle flush that brings my face back to life without making me look like a clown. It goes with almost everything, too, so it's great for everyday.
5. Brows
I can't leave the house without my brows done. I might as well be naked. For a natural look, I use a matte brown shadow from a discontinued Dior palette on an angled brow brush to fill in any sparse areas.
6. Eyeshadow
When I'm lazy, I don't like being required to be creative with my eyeshadow. Lately I've been slapping on my favorite cream shadow in Bad to the Bronze by Maybelline. It's a perfect color for day or night, and it's multidimensional, so just this one color looks great on the lid but goes darker into the crease, hiding any puffiness I have above the lid. It lasts all day, too.
7. Mascara
Mascara can take any tired eye and brighten it again. My favorite is the... you guessed it, Trish McEvoy Curling Mascara. In one coat it makes any lashes sky high and gives loads of volume with a curl that lasts all day sans smudging or flaking. At the end of the day, you wiggle it off with some warm water, no lashes lost.
What do you wear on lazy days?
