Do find yourself dashing about in a morning wondering where the time has gone? If so, then your make-up may be one of the many things on your ‘to do’ list that doesn’t get done before you have to leave the house.
Whilst I am happy to brave the world without my war paint, I do feel better prepared to face the day ahead with some basic, natural make-up on.
Here are my top five make-up must haves, which will have you looking fabulous in five minutes.
1.
Skin
Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream with SPF 15
I find creating a good base automatically makes people look better and
BB creams provide a bit of everything you need to do just that. This creates an
even complexion, covers small imperfections and redness, whilst hydrating your
skin. It helps to brighten and perk-up a dull complexion, which we need with a busy life style, and provides some protection from the sun, anything
to help the ageing process! It has light coverage like a tinted moisturizer
which prevents that caked feeling but also means any spots, scars or dark
circles will need a separate concealer.
2. Mac
Studio Finish Concealer with SPF 35
Under eye bags are the biggest sign of lack of sleep so those bad boys
have to go! This lightweight, long lasting, water-resistant
concealer is great for covering dark circles and spots, and can also be used to
disguise tattoos and birthmarks. It has a high SPF which is a must as the skin
around the eyes is ten times thinner than that on the face, so is more prone to
wrinkles. Take note, a little goes a long way.

Collection 2000 Shimmer Shades, Way To Glow
‘Summer’,
I use that term loosely this year, is the perfect time to use bronze colours and
this palette provides great shades which can be mixed together or used separately.
To keep products to a minimum, you can use this for eyeshadow, highlighter, blusher,
contouring and an all over bronzer. Perfect for mums on the go. As the name
suggests, the colours shimmer which helps to provide a natural, subtle, radiant
glow.
4.
Rimmel
The Max Volume Flash Mascara
Mascara
is the best way to create the illusion of bigger eyes and as the eyes are the
focal point when talking to someone it is important they look their best. This
mascara is good for daytime as it isn’t too thick and clumpy which helps with
the ‘natural’ look we are going for. I think mascara is more a personal choice
and I find people’s opinions vary depending on their own lashes and look they
want to achieve, so you may have to try a few before you find the perfect one
for you.
5.
Original
Carmex Balm
To
finish of your face you will need soft, moisturized, shiny lips. This tube solves
the problem of dry lips, kills germs and protects them against the wind and
sun. Whilst it does all the practical things it also acts like a lip gloss and make
the lips tingly which gives you perfect pout.
So to create a natural healthy look that leaves you looking human again, all you need is:
BB Cream, Concealer, Bronzer, Mascara and Lip Balm :)
