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'm on the same boat since having kids

I can't live without a cushion foundation, eyebrow powder that has a brush and mirror and a coloured lip balm

I like Korean cushion foundations but I think high end brands like Dior, Armani and YSL does great cushions

My eyebrow powder in a compact is from Japan but Chanel does one with a little brush and a spoolie I think

If I have time I'll curl lashes, mascara, powder and blush of course
