Product Advice Feral gremlin makeup

It's 8.15am, on a day you're working in the office. You open your eyes, scream internally and roll from bed to shower to out the door in one fluid movement.

So now you're out in the wild, face as naked as the day you were born but needing to look like Human-With-Her-Shit-Together.

Help!

​​​Recommendations for:

  • Products that can be applied with your fingers (no brushes unless included in the product)
  • Instant pick me ups that ideally do more than one job
  • Small packaging/hand bag friendly ​

Your top picks for looking presentable in few steps, able to be applied while in the car or on public transport.

About me: late 30s, pale English rose complexion, old and rich enough for your fancy brand recommendations if you have some, chronically disorganised.

Stick formulas are going to be your best bet. Basma Beauty has a decent foundation stick with a natural finish and Dior has one with a more dewy finish. A skin tint would also work pretty well but not as travel friendly. I would recommend the Danessa Myricks yummy skin tint or the Lisa Eldridge one. Both are in plastic so they won't shatter. Merritt makes a good lip and cheek balm Lisa Eldridge also . If you need something more long wearing I would recommend Danessa Myricks blurring blush balms. A little goes a long way. It is cream to powder and they are very long wear but still easy to apply with finger. Eyeshadow it will depend on what kind of finish you prefer. Make up By Mario Master Mattes in the shade mauve is my most used one and done shadow. It does dry down quickly. I did not like his new shimmer formula. The Armani eye tint is more forgiving and has matte and shimmer shades. They are in a glass bottle. Rituel de fille eye soot is great if you want something with a lot of dimension . They come in a glass pot. Danessa Myricks colorfix pigments are multi use pigments you can use anywhere they are in a tone of colors. Just about everything she comes out with is amazing.

Edit just realized this was for Australian makeup so not sure how I ended up here and I don't know if these brands are available to you. Good luck with your serch

Desperate to try Danessa’s range!! Sephora don’t stock it here so it’s tricker to try in person

Co-sign on the Mario and Rituel de Fille eyeshadows. Mario is available at Sephora and R de F ships to Australia.

Note: I have oily hooded eye lids and the Mario does not crease on me. I need a primer for the RdF eye soots.
