Every morning, we’re all running against the clock, but that doesn’t mean that we have to forego our makeup routine. We still have to look good, no? So, basic makeup is the savior that allows you to achieve the healthy look that you need to get through your day with a minimum amount of prep time. How can we make this happen? Let’s lead you through the simplest steps!

Start off by applying the base. According to the coverage your skin needs, you can choose to go for a BB cream, a stick foundation or a liquid one. If you have dark circles under your eyes, move on to applying a bit of concealer to give your face a healthy look. Eyebrows are also essential, so make sure to give them the most natural look there is by filling the empty spaces using a fine eyebrow pen, and fix them in place with an efficient eyebrow mascara. Oh and of course, don’t forget the mascara to glam up your lashes.

For your cheeks, a blush or a bronzer can add the right amount of glow to your look and for extra pizzazz, don’t hesitate to apply some of it – whatever you chose – on the crease of your eyes. Finish up your look with a nude lipstick, et voilà, you’re ready to take on the day!
