Hermanas!!!!
I have not been sleeping well as of lately. Hard time falling asleep; and much hardship getting up in the morning. Lots of things going around chez nous. Today, I actually overslept for one full hour. OMG - I despise being late, and I cannot stand people who are continuously late: beyond uncool. This called for an emergency less-better-do artistry moment.
With about 5 minutes to do my makeup, I had about 30 seconds to decide what was indispensable and what could be overlooked. This is what I used:
Foundation: a total must. the world might collapse around me; but I need foundation. I did not use primer today; but since my wonder of wonders, MAX FACTOR's pancake is very creamy and stays put all day; I did not suffer.
Blush: god bless MAC. I used Flirt and Tease; but I did not use bronzer or shimmer powder. MAC blushes are so pigmented that a couple of passes with my blush brush was more than enought to give me quick and nice definition.
Eyes: The gray shade in E.L.F. Drama in my lower lid, and a dash of the white shadow next to the brow bone. A dab of the darkest tone as a smudgy under-eye liner. I did not apply my usual powder or liquid eyeliner. I must say I also did not tint my eyebrows -- I just passed the eyebrow comb over them and that was that.
Mascara: 2 coats of Rimmel Glam'Eyes Mascara. Don't know about you chicas, but I LOVE my eyelashes. I was blessed with long curly babes; but I still adore wearing mascara.
Lips: a nice tap tap tap of E.L.F. candy shop tin in Berry.
Ufff!!! Five minutes and I was ready to face Seattle, and Rojo's brew of my favorite java made it a quite romantic coffee-n-dash moment. The best part was being complimented on my looks after this ordeal. SO I guess now I have my own less-better-do routine for emergencies!!!
Now now --- what are your minute-makeovers??? Do share!!!
Siempre, Bella.
oOoOoOo Lovely choices mama! I love MAC blushes and I want to try the MAX factor foundations!
ReplyDeleteThx thx thx Princess. you should totally try Pancake. It has nothing to ask for vis a vis StudioFix. No, I am noooot kidding!!!
ReplyDeleteBella,
ReplyDeleteI love five minute faces that look good, and by reading this, I can tell that you looked excellent.
By any chance, what MAC shading are you and what Max factor pancake shade are you? What application do you prefer for the pancake?
I am Creamy Beige for the pancake; and I was NC35 if I remember properly.
ReplyDeleteFor the pancake,I spritz my MAC foundation brush with either water OR toner, and then grab the product and spread on my face. When it dries, I smooth over with a round of cotton to avoid lines. Voila! Perfection!
That E.L.F. lippie sounds all kinds of hot! My minute make-over?
ReplyDeleteLiner, mascara and gloss. LOL....done!
B: that is a perfect beauty-minute right there mamma!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe E.L.F. lippies are so cute you want to eat them.
Sweet! thanks so much, Bella. I am in the NC35-40 range, so that shade might work for me.
