All in one face make up

Morning!
I'm off to the shops later and I need some makeup that I can just slap on in five mins in the mornings. I'm useless at applying make up and usually only wear it if it's a special occasion but started a new job and trying not to look half dead when I arrive.
I usually wear bare minerals liquid foundation but it's run out and I'm wondering if there is a cream or powder compact I could buy that will do the trick that could just be slung in my handbag and done on the train 😱

The Korean cushion foundations might be what you're after. You apply them like face powder, with a bit of patting or a brush, it takes about 30 seconds.

Lancôme make an expensive one that comes in lots of shades:

Or if your willing to wait a few weeks for it to arrive and you're a fairly pale colour, you can get them much more cheaply directly from Korea:

I like Urban Decay Naked Skin one and done

It's a tinted moisturiser and powder in one

I'm quite olive skinned so will take a look at Lancôme today. I have boots and John Lewis vouchers to spend!

Naked Skin sounds good Bluebell
I shall check that out.

Tinted moisturiser and powder all in one? Sounds interesting! Will take a look!

Yes it's a mattifying tinted moisturiser if that makes sense! It's really good stuff and gives you flawless skin. I just make sure I exfoliate regularly (I use pixie glow) so my skin is smooth before applying it. I slap it on, rub it in and I'm good to go! Bit of lippy and eyeliner, mascara - I'm made up in less than 3 minutes! Good job as I have a FT job and toddler

I spent £100 in Lancôme today 😱

I like the JML magic mineral powder, just a dust, like face powder and it looks like you're not wearing foundation. I dust that on if I need it, then do eyebrows & mascara and I'm good to go.

@Bluebell, what are the shades like in that? I'm an NW20 in mac.

Cheesymonster · 03/09/2017 16:10

I have the Urban Decay one and done. It comes in Light, Medium Light, Medium, Medium Dark, Dark and Deep Dark. I am an NC20 and wear light.

EvelynWardrobe · 03/09/2017 17:05

Thanks Cheesy!

Lancôme does that to you, I think it's the rose smell. What did you buy?

I hope you got the handy bag of oddments/free gift?

ByAllMeansMoveAtAGlacialPace · 03/09/2017 20:33

I did it for the goody bag! I'm a sucker for a freebie.

I got a blusher and a face powder as well.
