Three weeks into January and applying makeup still feels laborious. Hence easy and natural is ideal. That said, “natural” is totally subjective; for some, natural is a full face of maquillage – contouring, powder, falsies, the works. For those with a minimalistic outlook, here’s the tip. A foundation or concealer that feels and – when applied – looks like skin, an elevated, grownup lip balm that you can use sans mirror, a mascara that gives you full, thick lashes in seconds (Sculpted by Aimee is phenomenal) and a highlighter to dot on your cheekbones so you don’t look as dull as January.
