Inspired by the top 5 beauty products thread, would love to know what others wear daily. Was in HofF beauty hall yesterday and was fascinated by all the sales assistants with perfect makeup. Love anything beauty related! Daily I wear -

No 7 Stay Perfect Superlight foundation
Mac studio finish concealer
Rimmel stay matte powder
Nars Mata Hari blusher
Eyeliner on top waterline (one of the many I got with glossybox)
Clinique naturally glossy mascara
Maybelline Eyebrow gel
Maybelline babylips lip balm.

Takes well under 10 mins.

Moisturiser
Mascara
Blusher
Lippy ...all applied whilst waiting for hair to dry (trying to not use heat products as much as possible)

Sometimes I put foundation on but then feel self conscious and wash it off which adds to the time!!Hmm

ItsLikeRainOnYourWeddingDay · 02/01/2017 07:37

Primer
Foundation
Concealer
Powder
Bronzer
Eyebrow mascara
Slight dab of eyeshadow
Curl lashes
2 coats of mascara
Lip balm

No more than 4 minutes.

Can take ten minutes if I do eyeliner, more eyeshadow blending etc

Cheesymonster · 02/01/2017 07:45

La Roche Posay Effaclar BB Blur instead of foundation
Maybelline Fit Me concealer under eyes
Wet n Wild eyelid primer
Soap and Glory Archery brow pencil
Benefit creaseless cream eyeshadow in Birthday Suit
Collection felt pen eyeliner in brown
Rimmel Supercurler mascara

Takes 5ish minutes. No foundation to blend and no brushes to fiddle with has really cut down my getting ready time. All rubbed in with fingers. Have also recently ditched the eyelash curlers.

Cheesymonster · 02/01/2017 07:47

Oh I forgot I also use Smashbox primer water both as a primer and a setting spray, it's wonderful. I don't add powder in the morning (the BB cream is totally matte) but I do carry Maybelline 24 hour powder compact in my bag to touch up my shiny nose during the day.
