Cover up with concealer
Once you’ve realised you’re late (again) and thrown off the bed covers, it’s time to work on evening out your skin tone and covering imperfections. Skip foundation and tinted moisturiser and head straight for a full-coverage concealer. A heavy-duty concealer can easily be swiped under the eyes, on blemishes and around the nose and chin where there is often redness or discolouration. Blend quickly with clean fingers or a brush. If you think you’ll feel naked sans foundation, lightly set the concealer with a medium-full coverage powder.
Define with tinted brow gel
As much as we all love Instagram worthy brows, when you’re stuck in that morning rush, there’s simply no time for that sculpted look. Lightly fill in your brows with a tinted brow gel, starting with the tail where most of the defining is needed. Brow gels are a natural-looking, fool-proof alternative to pencils, powders and pomades.
Coat of mascara
Mascara is a morning must-have! A quick coat of mascara can open up the eyes and add instant freshness to your look.
Multi-tasking blush
In a rush, there’s no time to apply your usually bronzer, blush and highlight. But in a pinch, you can do all 3 at once! Find a blush in a pink/bronze tone with a glitter or shimmer finish. Sweep the shade on your cheekbones and it instantly acts a glowing pop of colour on the cheeks that adds warmth and definition.
Bold lip
Finally, nothing adds glam to a simple makeup look than a bold lip colour. Try a tinted lip balm or bright lip gloss to keep the look subtle and hydrating.
