This look is easy, clean and versatile and achievable by anyone. It also uses less tools so it's super efficient. To make things more efficient, I placed everything I'm going to need in one makeup bag.
 |
| Shortcut your prep time by placing all the makeup you need in one kit. Better if the cat is asleep too. |
Placing everything in one bag just zeroes in on what we would be using. It also keeps me focused on the routine so there's no more temptation to experiment on eyeshadow combos. Save that for a later call time.
Create a perfect base
 |
| Products used: Pond's Age Miracle BB Cream in Beige Revlon Colorstay Concealer in Medium |
After skin care and primer, I applied concealer on redness and dark circles and blended this evenly. If you want more coverage, use a BB cream before concealer. BB creams are like one of the best inventions of modern-day makeup because it creates a super smooth, flawless base while caring for your skin.
Set your base
 |
| Product Used: Make Up For Ever Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation |
We can get away with powder in colder climates but since we live in a humid country, powder has been the best friend of every Pinay I know. To know if I set my base right, I give my skin a tap. If it feels powdery and velvety with no "stick", it's good.
Define your brows
 |
| Product Used: K-Palette Lasting 2-Way Eyebrow Pencil |
Use a brow pen or a brow pencil to define the brows and avoid looking funny. A long-lasting formula is awesome especially for long work days, so I don't end up with a half-brow come midday.
Apply some blush
 |
| Product used: Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in Gorgeous Berries |
Blush makes you look not dead. If you have a super early call time, this also fakes the sallowness from lack of sleep.
Define eyes.
 |
| Product Used: L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Superstar in Black |
We love our eyes and eyeliner is our best friend. I'm thinking aside from lipsticks and powders, eyeliner is one of the most favorite makeup products. I know a friend who doesn't wear makeup anymore except eyeliner in a graphic cat eye. So yes, eyeliner is important in creating wide-awake eyes. What I did here is just to line super close to the lash roots, creating the illusion of thicker lashes and wider eyes. With this technique, I won't have to worry about winged eyeliner being even or super straight lines. I used black in this look but you can go crazy and use colored or metallic eyeliner.
Thicken those lashes
 |
| Product used: Fairydrops Volume Burst Waterproof Mascara |
In an effort to bring more attention to eyes sans eyeshadow, curl your eyelashes and be generous with mascara. Hello, eyes!
Apply lipstick
 |
| Product Used: Happy Skin x Disney Princess Moisturizing Matte Lippie in Aurora |
Choose any lipstick you like that matches your blush. You can go with a neutral shade or a pop of color as shown below:
 |
| Product Used: Sephora Collection Color Lip Last Lipstick in Royal Raspberry |
Highlight For A Final Touch
 |
| Product Used: MAC Iridescent Powder in Coupe D'Chic (MAC Cinderella Collection) |
We like things all pretty and healthy-shiny, instead of shiny-oily or dull matte. Highlight creates dimension and gorgeous glow. Apply highlight on the tops of the cheeks, browbone, and maybe the bridge of the nose and the chin.

This is something really quick you can do when you're going to work or going somewhere early and you don't have that much time or if you would want to spend more time with say, getting 10 minutes extra home workout or maybe a nicer breakfast. The quick look also doesn't compromise a lot. It would probably take around 10 minutes to do, and when you've memorized the moves, maybe 5 minutes? Let me know how it goes and what products you used.
