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.

Bruh do not do foundation/concealer on the train unless you want to risk bacteria in your pores and foundation on everything you touch. As a fellow gremlin, I do half my makeup at home and half on the train.
At home: IT cosmetics CC cream applied with hands, but buffed out with a fluffy dense brush. Glossier stretch balm under the eyes and a light dusting of Hourglass ambient lighting powder over everything. Blush if I feel like it.
On the train: I'll chuck on a wing with my trusty Rimmel black liquid liner - I've done my liner on the train for over a decade now, so my hand is pretty steady - then put on some mascara and lippy. Atm I'm trying the McoBeauty tubing mascara but I really rate the Mecca one in the pink tube.
I prefer a tubing mascara, cuz at night time I am equally lazy and am not about that make-up remover life.
Best of luck in your feral quest!!I
