I love doing a full glamor look, but it legit takes me like 2-2.5 hours. My eyes alone take an hour. I used to only do makeup for special occasions but lately I’ve wanted to do it more frequently or daily. 2-2.5 hours a day on makeup seems crazy. Do I just need to keep practicing to get faster, or is it normal for big looks to take a long time?

    Thia is great advice. I started carrying a powder compact, stick foundation and eyeshadow, mascara, and a multiuse lip/ cheek stick in my makeup bag. I threw in a beauty blender and retractable kabuki brush for blending if my fingers aren’t enough. Using fewer products definitely helps make things faster as well.

      Thanks! Definitely helps. My bag makeup is just two eyebrows pencils (depending whether I want to draw them lighter or darker), a mini eyeshadow palette with basic colors that I could use multiple ways + brush, a highlighter pencil and gloss (used to carry more than one but kept losing them).
