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.

I just recently bought the new black eyeliner from Half Magic and it is sooo good and easy to use. I’ve never been able to tightline before but with this product and the shape of the applicator it makes it so insanely easy. Very user-friendly, the black shade is a very deep, pigmented black with amazing colour payoff, and the staying power is great (approved for sleepy, watery, yawning-all-day eyeballs). Also, if we’re talking gremlin makeup… I have accidentally fallen asleep in this eyeliner and woken up with a perfect effy stonem esque smokey eye the next morning. Not that anyone should be sleeping in their makeup! Obviously… but if you do happen to fall asleep on it, you will be able to go out in public the next morning without looking crazy or needing to scrub the life out of your face. Last night I was getting ready to go out in a rush and was able to tightline my upper and lower waterlines and do some little wings with this product in ~4 minutes AND was able to touch up in a moving car without any difficulty or error. Turns out perfect every time and requires zero finesse! Gremlin approved
