10-minute makeup routine
You know those mornings when you know you got 8 hours of sleep and are just...still tired? So naturally you lay in bed and procrastinate getting ready for class/work/life. You know you need to look relatively presentable but you just don’t have it in you to *try* - been there.
Here is my 10-minute makeup routine that I have shamelessly turned into my everyday makeup routine.

1. Laura Mercier Primer
|
2. MAC Face and Body Foundation
|
When I have more time, I usually use some kind of moisturizer to prep my skin but this product both softens and primes (lol) the skin before I use my foundation. LM makes 6 different primers specific to different uses so while I use the oil-free, you can choose one that fits your skin type.
|
Here we are again with the Face and Body foundation. I have no more words, I ran out. This is the best, end of story.

3. MAC Press Powder
|
4. James Read Bronzer/Highligher Duo
|
The Face and Body gives me good coverage but the powder on top just gives me one more layer to even out my skintone. Plus, since Face and Body leaves a dewy finish (and therefore somewhat sticky) the powder allows me to put on my bronzer without worries of streaky lines.
|
For a long time I was a religious user of NARS Laguna (which I still love) but I needed something without shimmer as I entered my adult years. What’s great about this palette is that both the bronzer and highlighter are full-sized. Nothing is worse than trying to get your fluffy bronzing brush into one of those sample sized sections in any given palette

5. MAC Blush
|
6. Lancôme Mascara
|
Wow, so weird, another MAC product. Can you tell I love MAC? Blush is a personal choice but I need something that isn’t too pink. “Dame” gives me just enough color without looking like I did my makeup in the dark.
|
Once I started using this mascara I could never turn back. Everyone always makes fun of me for using $32 mascara but it’s just...really worth it.

|
7. Gucci Lipgloss
|
8. Perfume (take your pick)
|
I’ve posted about this lipgloss before but I just cannot say enough good things about it. It is light enough to wear all day and not super shiny. I am not, and never will be, a lipgloss fanatic but this stuff *changed me*.
|
There’s something about perfume that just makes you feel put together. A spritz on your wrists, neck, chest and hair gives you that “finish” after rushing to get ready. Also, it smells rly good.
