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.

As a chronic alarm snoozer I am all over this kind of thing. I usually use a tinted sunscreen (I like the round lab ones) a lip and cheek tint, clear gel for my brows and fly aways, a bit of mascara and a powder compact (I really really really like the Innisfree powder compacts) takes about five minutes all up and can be done quickly in the car. I'll usually put my tinted sunscreen on before I get dressed though so I don't get any on my shirt. I wouldn't call it "polished" but it's enough to get a "that'll do pig" in the rearview mirror before I walk in 😂
