sunscreen, foundations, mascara, a touch of blush or bronzer and dr pepper chapstick:)
Seems like most people use sunscreen (yay!). Mascara is a must!
Sunscreen, EM foundation, conceal selectively, brow shader, mascara, blush. Lip balm, lipstick n gloss can be applied on the go! 🙂
Ahh, you’re a slick one, Gwen! On the go 😉
A bronzer, lipstick and liner , one shade of eyeshadow and liner.
Eyes, too! Nice!
Girlfriend, I am the queen of 10 minute makeup!
– Olay sunscreen
– 266 & MAC concrete in brows
– curl lashes & one layer of whatever mascara is closest at hand
– MAC Blushbaby blush
– MAC concealer
– Lip liner in Subculture (which I anticipate will soon be replaced by Cremestick liner) and Clear lipglass
– a quick layer of whatever loose or pressed powder is close at hand
I can also do this in 5 minutes if need be!
Do you think we’ll be seeing our Matte2 and Mattene today? Please! Please! Please!
Nice! Filled in brows make ALL the difference, don’t they?
Ohh, I hope so! I know they ship FedEx, and it’s always come pretty much overnight or 2-day. So whenever FedEx stops by your house, that’s when you can expect it (if it comes today). I think our FedEx doesn’t show up til late afternoon 🙁 I’ve only had one or two shipments come overnight express or something, which is guaranteed by 10:30am!
ARRGGGHHH!
Don’t you feel like a kid on Christmas eve? Ha ha ha!
And yes, the brows are NON NEGOTIABLE!
Sunblock SPF 50 (the most important item)
2-way cake
Concealer
Mascara
Lipbalm
Blusher
10mins should be enough for all these.
Seems like everybody is taking good care of their skin – sunblock all the way!
moisturizer
undereye concealer
foundation for certain spots & powder
lipcolor
mascara
filled in brows!
The brows, of course!
Moisturizer with sunscreen, cover up, MSF Natural in Medium, Blushbaby, wash of Naked Lunch on lids, Mascara X in black, and a lip gelee (the sheerness makes them basically fool-proof, I don’t even have to look in the mirror to apply). If I have a couple extra seconds, I do a quick crease color (I love Kid) and a brown eyeliner.
Good thinking with the wash of eyeshadow!
A mineral foundation: Jane Iredale PurePressed Base, Philosophy The Supernatural or BareMinerals – gives you foundation and sunscreen in one!
Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit
L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara
Concealer on eyelid and under brow arch and blended with a fluffy brush
CARGO Beach Blush – blush and bronzer in one!
Kiehl’s Goldenberry gloss – balm and gloss in one!
My foundation has a touch of sunscreen in it, too!
– MAC Strobe Cream
– BE Minerals in Bisque spot foundation & around eyes
– Make Up For Ever Concealer
– MAC Blushbaby or CCB (cream color base) Posey & Ladyblush (gorgeous natural flush)
– MAC CCB in Root – eyeshadow
– Brown eyeliner
– Mascara in black only at the outer corner lashes
– MAC Prep & Prime stick – on lips with just a nude liner (makes lips look very full & sexy)
I used to use Strobe Cream all the time! I hated Root CCB when I had it, though, lol! How do you use it?
–wash face (Clean & Clear Oil Free)
–toner & moisturizer
–mark. tinted moisturizer (nude)
–MAC Blot pressed (medium)
–MAC Honesty e/s
–MAC Smolder pencil (bottom only, i’m like you!!)
–Mascara (whatever is on hand)
–any random lipgloss
Great picks, Courtney!
– Moisturizer
– Few dabs of conceler
– Studio tech
– Physicians Formula Bronzer 20 SPF
– Reach for Milani Java Bean and Almondine if rushing (Gasp non MAC! Though I have those too)
– Fluidline liner in whatever shade I am feeling
– Touch of brown in the eyebrows
– Blush, either my Cargo powder or Flirt stick
– Curl the eyelashes with the Shu (sometimes I do this the night before its a MUST for me)
– Mascara that retains the curl I work so hard for
– Various Gloss, usually done in the car as an afterthought!
Oh I forgot to mention a FAB Urban Decay shadow I always mix in with the Milani’s.. Smog. A must get!
