Five Product Face


As the weather continues to warm up, I find myself reaching for fewer makeup products.  Watching foundation melt off of my face as I drip sweat is not what I would call sexy.  This is an easy makeup look, can be done in about five minutes and looks natural yet put together.  I wear something like this most days.  The first thing I apply is a tinted moisturizer.  The one I use depends on my mood, and will probably be different next week, but lately I can't stop reaching for the Chantecaille Just Skin Tint.  It evens out my skin tone, moisturizes well, and looks like skin.  Niiice.  The next thing I do is pop a bit of the Bobbi Brown Eye Brightener underneath my eyeballs.  I have seriously dark circles under my eyes that never go away (womp, womp), and this stuff makes me look a bit more awake.  After this come the eyebrows.  I used to never do anything to my eyebrows, but now I am obsessed with filling them in.  On casual days, I reach for a the Perfekt eyebrow tinted gel in caramel.  This adds just enough color to fill in sparse areas, and helps to hold them in place all day.  No Look can be completed without mascara, I mean...am I right?!  I have really been enjoying Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara.  It is cheap, and lengthens and thickens wonderfully.  And it crushes clumps, so there that is.  What more could a girl want?  Lastly, lipstick.  This is my favorite part.  When the rest of my face is kept simple, I love nothing more than popping on a bit of color on the old smoocher.  I have been wearing the Revlon Lip Butter in Wild Watermelon a lot lately.  A mix between a lip balm and a lipstick, this stuff is good.  It moisturizes, adds just the right amount of color, and is super easy to apply.  And there you have it!  Five products, Five minutes.
