BACK TO BASICS: QUICK MAKEUP IN TEN MINUTES

Hello everyone! So now that we are definitely back to normal after Christmas and New Year's, i am definitely back to doing quick ten minute makeup looks on an everyday basis. When it comes to doing a quick makeup look for me personally i like to focus on the base, then keep everything else pretty simple and neutral...

The first step once the clock starts after i have completed my skincare routine is of course foundation and if you have read my posts for a while, then you will already know this foundation is my go-to. This foundation for me lasts all day long without needing touch-ups, it applies/blends out effortlessly and looks flawless yet natural. I always pick mine up in the shade 220, which is natural beige and it always matches me perfectly.

Next i like to go in quickly filling in my brows using another go-to product of mine and a favourite of many, of course i am talking about the famous Anastasia Beverly Hills dipbrow pomade. My brows are naturally super full these days, which luckily means i don't have to spend too much time on them and this definitely has cut the time i have to spend doing my makeup down by a lot.

Going in with concealer next and i am back to using one of my favourite concealers, after a little hiatus due to the fact no Primark stores near me seemed to had any in stock. That being said i finally managed to pick some more up after they finally re-stocked in my local store. I love how this concealer is has great coverage, blends out effortlessly, doesn't crease and basically ticks all of the right boxes. Did i also mention that this concealer is just £2, such a bargain!

For powder i have recently switched back to reaching for another old favourite, which i am really enjoying using again and i forgot how much i love the finish of. I have not used loose setting powder for a hot minute now, as i always tend to reach for my bareMinerals powder duo. As i do have normal/dry skin i can get away with using just a small amount of powder, i mainly just set all of the areas i have placed concealer and then with whatever is left set the rest of my face.

When it comes to highlighter i do switch between a few of my different favourites, but they all always tend to be a golden shade. That being said for quick makeup looks this highlighter from bareMinerals is always one a gravitate towards, as it is quick to apply/blend out and has a beautiful natural cream to powder finish.

6. bareMinerals invisible bronze bronzer | click to shop bareMinerals |
Can you tell i love bareMinerals for base products? That being said this bronzer is definitely my favourite of the bunch, so much so i have barely reached for another bronzer ever since i tried it out. I have the shade Medium, which leaves you with a flawless yet natural bronze sun-kissed look to the skin that lasts all day without fading or going patchy. I will also go in with a small amount quickly on my eyes, rather than using eyeshadow. 

7. MUA amplify volume mascara | click to buy |
As i mentioned at the beginning of the post once my base makeup is complete, i like to keep things super simple and that means all that i apply to my eyes then is some mascara. This mascara is one that i recently picked up again, after loving it so much the first time around. I love how it separates your lashes, leaving them looking full, long and clump free. For everyday makeup looks, i will just apply mascara to my top lashes only. 

8. mac cosmetics matte lipstick in the shade kinda sexy |click to buy |
Finally all that is left to do is go in with lipstick and considering this particular shade of lipstick isn't my usual go-to kind of nude shade, i am still really enjoying wearing it on a everyday basis as it is just the most beautiful natural pinky-rose nude shade.
