Five days a week, my makeup is very boring – light brown shadow, black or dark brown eye pencil, MAC Studio Fix powder foundation and usually a neutral or a muted pink lip color. During weekends I love to play and that’s when my palettes, eye shadows, colored liners, foundation etc all come out. But there are weekends when I don’t feel like doing anything at all. Going out becomes a pain andΒ I’d rather sit at home watching reruns of Two and a Half Men, sleeping and drinking endless cups of coffee. What do I do during those days?Β Β Well, I take the easy way out and finish off my makeup in only five minutes using four basic products.
Colored liners are the best things you can use when you don’t have a lot of time. Select a pencil that’s slightly creamy and you can use it as an eye shadow. That’s exactly what I’ve done with the Faces pencil in Forest Green. Applied a thick line on my lids and smudged it with a brush so that it covers the lids till the crease and there you go. Eye shadow done.
Next step is to add some definition to the eyes using a kajal and you can either keep it simple by applying a thin line on the upper lash line and waterline or you can intensify the look by smudging the kajal. I kept it simple.
Touch wood, my skin is behaving quite well now so all I did was apply some moisturizer and a dull gold shimmer powder/highlighter all over the face. This gives the face a beautiful radiant glow that does not look made up. Just remember to go easy with the highlighter. You want people to think that this glow is ‘au naturel’. I used an Essence shimmer powder which is perfect for my skin tone.
Finally, applied lipstick. I’m not one to follow rules so I don’t think one should pair only neutral lipsticks with bright eyes. I’ve worn MAC Fusion Pink, one of the Pro shades. The color is a very bright pink-red with a slight iridescent fuchsia sheen. I love this color because it just brightens up the face. And that’s it. Makeup done in 5 minutes.
