The temperature dropping outside can naturally give us hibernation vibes. With that, a “but why” feeling can tag along when it comes to makeup. Here to the rescue is a minimal, 10-minute makeup routine to save you time and energy – so you can spend less time in front of the mirror and more in front of Netflix.
Just a hint of warmth on the skin can do wonders for both your overall look and psyche. Loving Tan’s 2-Hour Express is the crème de la crème when it comes to self-tanning. It’s pretty much every lazy girl’s dream because it gets the job done in one application, and it gets it done fast. Although the brand features multiple shades in their line, 2-Hour Express Dark is ideal for the deepest, most intense bronze you can get from a mousse and not the actual sun. It’s no joke, but at the same time looks extremely natural once you’ve showered the color guard off.
Accompany your flattering new tan with 3 simple steps for a polished and effortless vibe. Blend your favorite foundation or base product on the face, starting from the center and working out – this technique yields the most natural look. Then take Glo Minerals Cream Stay Shadow Stick in Concord, a rich plum shade, along the top and bottom lashline and blend with either a pencil brush or your fingertips for an instant smokey eye.
Next up – lips. When you pair scientifically backed lip-pluming ingredients with a sheer wash of nude-pink shimmer, you get HydroPeptide’s Island Bloom Perfecting Gloss. This is a great universally flattering shade that’s easy to pop on and into your purse for on-the-go touchups.
The season, at its worst, is cold and unkind—but there’s nothing like getting yourself up and “put together” to shake the winter blues. The key in this look is high-performance, no-fuss product—and these few totally fit the bill.
