These days, I’m wearing makeup a lot more frequently than I’m used to. Given that I would rather sleep than spend time looking pretty, I’ve mastered my version of the five minute face. Here’s how I do it.
Olay Fresh Effects BB cream: smooth, sunscreen base
L’Oreal pore minimizing cream: not sure if this really works, but I like to think my pores are smaller
Bare Minerals powdered foundation: it does cover well but not worth the money
Bare Minerals Warmth: this is the Bare Minerals bronzer. It’s wayyyy too dark for my skin, so I have to use it sparingly.
Eye-shadow: I have several palettes, all in the brown / copper family. I just do a swipe on the eyelid.
Sephora waterproof eyeliner in brown: just one quick line then smudged with the wand smudger
Waterproof mascara in dark blue: black looks really harsh on my blonde eyelashes, so I stick with blue or brown (which I ran out of)

I really like that eye shadow. I have mine for hazel eyes 🙂

I have such a basic routine too. I love those eye shadows, I tend to stick with those colors as well.

Amen for loving sleep more! I am so in the same boat.. so most days it is mascara and a dab of concealer as needed.

You should try Revlon PhotoReady powder collection. I used to use BareMinerals but didn’t want to pay the price, and I saw this around the time I got married. I have been using them for the past three years, and it is so much cheaper. I don’t use all of them, but what I have used has been awesome!
