Lazy day make up!


Everyone has those days where you just can't be bothered with make up, or you're just not doing enough to warrant a full face of make up. I have at least one or two days like that a week, and now I'm living in halls I don't always like having a totally naked face when I'm wandering around. So here's what I use on those days!

The main things that I focus on are red spots and my eyebrows. I think filling in my eyebrows adds so much more to my face, so there aren't many days when I don't just quickly add a little colour to them. My current favourite thing to use it a 17 brow shaper in the colour natural brown, because it adds just the right shade to them. 

Concealer is my other must have. I've only been using foundation for less than 4 months, as before then I could never be bothered to find the right shade for my skin. Consequently, I have very good skin, apart from under eye circles, a slightly red tinged nose and any spots that might be lurking. I love my Natural Collection concealer stick in fair and I've yet to find anything that I prefer over it. It's super easy to just smudge on and blend in as it's just the right consistency to cover blemishes.

Finally, I normally apply my Rimmel stay matte powder just to take away any shine that my face has going on from moisturising. I've only recently started using this, but I'm loving it so much! It leaves my skin looking soft and matte in a very natural way. I apply it with a kabuki brush (I believe I picked this one up from 17), which means it takes minimal effort and I'm done within seconds.

Sometimes to finish off I'll quickly curl my eyelashes, as this opens up my eyes without having to do anything else to them. I'm pretty sure these curlers are from Primark! I keep meaning to invest in some more, but these work really well so I'm happy with them for now :)

And that's it! I love having a quick and simple something just to finish off my face some mornings after cleansing.
Do you have a minimal skin make up routine that you love using? :)
