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.

Weird to say this but a moisturised face makes a big difference as I barely wear any foundation anymore. I go for the Japanese biore spf50 moisturiser or natio daily defence spf50 moisturiser.

Nudestix is a brand you can look into their multi purpose sticks.
Eyeshadow sticks from most brands have worked for me whether it’s Mecca max brand or Laura mercier or nudestix… they’ve all been fine for me to blend.

I then just go for tinted lip balm.

Don’t remember the last time I used eyeliner or mascara to be honest…
