lip balm
Blush, face powder and lipstick. When I apply lipstick, I rub my finger over my cupid’s bow to make sure it doesn’t go over my lip any.
I can put mascara on my top lashes without a mirror.
The only parts of my makeup routine that I could manage to do without a mirror is applying moisturizer and lipgloss.
I’m using the Covergirl Natureluxe foundation right now and I LOVE it because it’s like rubbing in lotion; it blends so flawlessly that it only takes seconds to apply with my fingers, and it makes my skin look so much nicer. Don’t really even need a mirror, it’s that good. xD
Lipgloss. Just did it in a window reflection. In the dark. =p
I could probably do blush, lipstick/lipgloss, tinted moisturizer. Would hate to do mascara without a mirror, haha.
Sheer pressed powder, lip balm or gloss, lipstick if it is lighter (not bright or dark where it has to be precise).
In high school the dark liner/lip gloss combo was hot so I perfected in-class, no mirror, lip liner.
probably foundation, powder, lipgloss and mascara 🙂
Primers, tinted moisturizer, and lip moisturizers and balms.
Lipstick. I’m SO Molly Ringwald 🙂
Marquise d’ lipstick from MAC
Honestly the only thing I probably couldn’t do is eyeliner and the crease of my shadow. I know I can do mascara without one.
I actually did a full face without a mirror once. Admittedly it wasn’t an overly complex look, but it didn’t turn out bad at all. On a day to day basis lipstick, gloss, foundation and powder.
I can put my lips on without a mirror and my bronzer and blush too. I have to have a magnified mirror to do the eyes.
It would be when I apply lip colours.
Lip balm, and if I had to do lip stick and gloss.
Don’t need a mirror for moisturizer or primer. I use a mirror for everything though.
Definitely the eyes…
applying lipstick even red ones, though I prefer it in front of a mirror I can do it anywhere. I also can line my waterline without mirror but i never do it as I never line my waterline (doesn’t look good on my)
Blush, highlighting and waterlining 😀
all the pre makeup stuff i.e. skincare/sunscreen. then I can do loose powder bronzer and highlighter w/o mirror. I sometimes retouch my lipstick or lipgloss in the office (at my desk) w/o a mirror.. but nothing more than that
Sheer lipgloss, lighter lipsticks and face powder.
Probably just lip balm and powder
lipstick, never use a mirror when im out and about.
Face powder, eye primer, and lip balm are the only things I can do without a mirror
Lip balm and moisturizer
face cream, eye cream, foundation, powder, eyeshadow base, lip balm, lipstick
foundation and lipstick
mascara and lipstick
lip balm, face primer
Face powder and tinted lip balm (I always rub my finger on my cupid’s bow just in case).
I’ve got really bad eyesight, so I do most everything with only glances in the mirror. I could probably do…any lip stuff, any basic eyeshadow looks, any all-over face stuff, blush and bronzer. Possibly mascara, but I’d be too scared to try!
GLOSS
I used to be able to put on my liner without a mirror. I’d check it after but my mom used to laugh at me because I’d be doing my liner while talking to her with no mirror and it would look good. I did wear it the same way every day from when I was 14-19, so I had practice 😉
Powder foundation,lipstick and gloss.
I use a mirror for all of it. Call me vain, but I like to make sure that everything is in its proper place with no room for error.
The only part of my make application that I don’t need a mirror is the application of moisturizer and lipstick and/& lip pencil.
I could probably do foundation, powder, bronzer, blush, eye primer, eye shadow and lipstick without a mirror. I would only need it for concealer, eyeliner, and mascara.
Only lip balm. Even tinted lip balm I feel better applying looking in the mirror.
Without mirror it is quite hard to judge the proper application of any makeup, i cant live without mirror.
Hey, the only exception will be lip liner and i believe the rest of the lip products can do without mirror.
Any stuff for the face or lips.
Eye liner, I do it with my eyes closed and probably powder products like powder foundation and blush
i am so dependent on my mirror, i can’t do any part of my makeup routine w/o it!
Lipgloss.
eyeshadow primer hahaha thats it
mascara and lipstick, I use a mirror for everything
