When your makeup comes out awesome and you have nowhere to go

When your makeup comes out awesome and you have nowhere to go

This is basically the story of my life—when I actually put on makeup. I haven’t really been wearing much recently since I love how my actual skin looks (thanks to my ZIIP) and work has had me chained to my desk. But last week I decided to make a teensy bit of effort, any my arbitrary mixing-and-matching yielded a fabulous result.

Here’s what I used:

Kosas Tinted Face Oil: I can’t put into words how much I live for this product. All it takes is 4 drops for the perfect amount of casual coverage and a lovely glow.

Glossier Stretch Concealer: All I need is a little under my eyes and around my nose, and the lightweight texture makes it perfect for daytime.

Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel: This product may seem intimidating at first, but once you learn how to use it you’ll see it’s the best bronzer ever.

Pixi Glow-Y Gossamer Duo: Per my post from a few weeks ago, this has become my go-to eyeshadow for daytime.

Glossier Lash Slick: This mascara is so great, I’ve purchased it several times.

Glossier Boy Brow: I rarely do my brows during the day, but I figured why not.

Tom Ford Lip & Cheek Stain: Sadly, this was a limited-edition product that debuted roughly eight years ago—but I bought three and I’m down to the last one. I’ll be devastated when it’s done.

Note: I drowned my skin with moisture before creating this look, so that might have something to do with the final outcome. My pre-makeup skincare involved a few swipes of Pixi Glow Tonic, Natura Bissé Diamond Cocoon Hydrating Essence, Jurlique Moisture Plus Rare Rose Serum, Natura Bissé Essential Shock Intense Cream and DermaQuest SheerZinc SPF 30.
