I own one 10year old eye shadow pallet. I wear eyeliner most days but don't have my shit together enough to wear eye shadow everyday. Does anybody?

On work days only -
Clean face on shower.
Mix small amount of foundation with moisturising cream and apply to face and neck. Go downstairs, sort out lunch. Eat breakfast. Then, whilst drinking tea, apply eyeshadow and mascara. Brush eyebrows.
Go to work. Lip gloss applied once parked in work car park.

I don't use blusher as I have naturally high coloured cheeks and in fact, the foundation and moisturising cream combo helps to even them out and still looks quite natural.
I change eyeshadow palette every six months and mascara every six weeks.

floralmoral yes I use the products from the video, I had them for my birthday, I also add a bit of eyeliner on my top lid.

I was a bit skeptical about the products/look but they are amazing.

I'm a complete novice, with not great skin but with this video and products I look good (even if I do say so myself Blush)

I was surprised at how easy it was to do and how little of each product you actually need.

My favourite is the foundation and concealer, if I'm not doing much I just wear those and my skin looks fantastic.

Foundation, under eye concealer, eyebrow pencil, shadow, mascara and blusher

Every day come rain, shine, at home, going out etc, in this order:

Primer
Foundation (serum/BB type for day)
Under-eye concealer
Glow cream
Dust of powder
Eye crayon on lid
Eyeliner
Mascara
Eyebrow pencil
Touoch of kohl or eyeshadow as liner on bottom lash line
Lipstick

It sounds A LOT but I use tiny amounts of everything and can do it in 5 minutes flat - I work fast! It helps to get a foundation colour that's exactly the right shade as it if a perfect shade match it blends in straight away and cuts down blending time round jawline, hairline etc. Just a pump or two and rub in like moisturiser Grin

If a night out then I probably do it in half an hour, take my time, blend everything etc and add eyeshadow to the above and maybe a bit of highlighter powder/blusher.

Moisturiser with spf
Tiny blob of foundation either mixed into moisturise or if more time put on with fingers. Blend in/take off excess with a brush
Somtimes concealer in corners under eyes
Eyebrow pencil
Curl (dyed) eyelashes
Hourglass palate -blush, highlight, and ambient light powder, the latter goes all over the face. Sometimes a bit of bronzer too.
