I went through almost 3 years of not wearing makeup. Now that I’m back into it, I’m wondering what I can do to speed up my routine and to learn about new products or anything I might have missed out on. Currently it takes me about 30 mins to complete a look. Thank you for any of your suggestions.
My 15 minute look is to wash my face, eye cream (welcome to your 30s and 40s), primer, foundation with spf, eyeliner, eyelashes curled (sometimes with mascara but not always) and a lip tint/balm.
Items used - CeraVe face wash
Do you think that a primer is necessary for under makeup ? I feel like I’m missing out because I never use a primer but wanted to know the benefits.
And how do you make liquid eyeliner look good ? Especially when you are running late ?
I’ve used Lancôme La base primer and I honestly think it can be used in lieu of moisturizer. I think when they invented primer it was intended as a better gel moisturizer but they don’t want to tell us we don’t need both.
Oh true ! When I started wearing makeup as a teenager, primers weren’t really a big thing. I didn’t hear of it until much later in my 20s. I guess I didn’t know it’s benefits and I just got the idea that it’s not necessary. I don’t see a lot of gel moisturizers on its own but now I know I can multi task with it if I want to.
