Low-Maintenance Makeup
You don’t like spending too much time on makeup, but without it, you look like death warmed over. What to do? Read more on how to spend less than 5 minutes on your face and still look great.
For a quick, no-fuss, low-maintenance look:
Face
Use a tinted moisturizer with SPF. For more color, use a moisturizer with a touch of sunless tanner, so you can build a subtle tan gradually. Try Olay Complete Care Everyday Sunshine with SPF 15.
And/or
On top of the moisturizer or on its own, apply concealer on blemishes and dark under-eye circles.
Lips and cheeks
Use a lip and cheek stain such as BeneFit’s BeneTint on your lips and cheeks. Stains give a healthy, natural looking color and will last throughout the day.
Eyes
Make sure your eyebrows are plucked regularly. Don’t pluck them too thin – fuller eyebrows are great for the low-maintenance, natural look.
If your eyelashes and eyebrows are dark, use a clear or tinted eyebrow gel to keep them in place. If you’ve got light-colored eyelashes, apply some dark brown or black mascara. We recommend, Maybelline’s Great Lash mascara as it enhances the lashes without making it look clumpy or spidery.
If you like, you can curl your lashes with an eyelash curler before applying mascara.
