MAC Quad Eyeshadows; (top right) Omega and (bottom right) Espresso
I'm pretty sure everyone has those days where you don't want a full face of make up, but you really don't want to venture out with those under eye bags and if you're me, non-existant natural eyebrows. I've come up with my absolutely perfect no-make up minimal make up look, and more than once I've had comments about how nice my skin looks without make up when really I'm artfully covered in concealer to the hilt.
I'll start off with my normal morning face routine, and sometimes a bit of primer if I'm wearing this for something like a day at uni. I use my Real Techniques expert face brush with my Collection concealer, and follow tips that I got from Vivianna Does Makeup in a video here. Basically, just cover your problem areas, put a little few more blobs around your face (just to get an even finish), and blend to your hearts content. I follow this up with a dusting of Rimmel Stay Matte powder, probably my favourite powder of all time. Finally, I fill my brows in with Omega, and a light bit of Espresso if I'm feeling it, and hey presto I'm ready to go.
If you'll excuse my 'do I smile? I'll try a smile..' photo face, this is how my face looks when I'm done. It makes me feel a million times more confident, even though it only takes 5 minutes to pull off. For me, it's all about the brows; I'm happy leaving with nothing on if I have my brows done. Targeting the one main area you worry about is key to this, and it's great for letting your skin have a bit of a day off.
Do you have your own no make up look?
