Calling all beauty lovers!
Let's
face it, most people don't want to spend 30 minutes to an hour on their
makeup every morning. At the same time, most of us don't just wake up
flawless (sorry, Queen Bey). There's always a scar from a past pimple or
dark circles from the previous night's fun that needs to be attended
to.
Great news: this summer, it's all about your natural
radiance, so you don't need a lot of products or time to look and feel
good. Barely-there makeup is on trend.
Looking
for an everyday makeup routine that you can do on a rushed morning, in
the car (from the passenger seat, of course) or in the bathroom, right
before the school bell rings? Check out the tutorial below!
Note:
this tutorial is aimed at being fast and easy. Feel free to add steps
to customize your everyday look (i.e. highlighter, blush, contour, etc).
Foundation
After moisturizer and sunscreen, apply your foundation
using a beauty blender or foundation brush. Make sure to add product
under the jawline and down the neck, so your makeup will look at natural
as possible.

Concealer
Using your ring finger (or a concealer brush), gently
blend the concealer under the eyes and over any scars or area of
discoloration.

Eyeshadow - Base
Use a neutral eyeshadow that's slightly darker than your
complexion, and place it over the eyelid, starting from the inner
corner and working your way to the outer corner.

Eyeshadow - Highlight
Using a lighter shade (or a small amount of
highlighter), add eyeshadow from the inner corner of the eyes to the
middle of the lid, blending it into the base color.

Eyeliner
Using liquid or (sharp) pencil eyeliner, start at the
middle of the eye and work your way out. Then, create an additional line
from the inner eye that gradually thickens to meet the width of the
outer portion. If you're struggling with allergies, opt for a
vegan alternative. If your eyeliner tends to travel during the day, try a waterproof eyeliner.

Mascara
Using your mascara wand, start at roots on the underside
of the top lash line, working your way up and out. For bold lashes,
apply multiple coats.

Brow Pencil
Place the brow pencil on the side of your nose to
distinguish where your brows should start. Using a brow pencil that's a
few of shades lighter than your hair, fill in your brows in short
strokes, so the pencil isn't easily distinguishable from your natural
hair.

Setting Powder
For long-lasting makeup (i.e. a full day at work), apply
setting powder all over, especially the T-zone (where we tend to be the
most oily). Loose setting powders, either translucent or tinted, lock
in foundation and concealer and correct redness. Pressed powders add
slightly more coverage, allowing for a polished, matte makeup look.
For
a bare skin look, opt for a setting spray, which will set makeup
without adding a powdered finish. Setting spray is also great for midday
touchups.
