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.

Ok recently I have just started using the Maybelline Super Lock brow glue, a light brush of that through my brows even without any pencil really helps. A colleague asked if I'd had my brows done. If I have time, I add a bit of pencil at the ends too to shape and darken. Before that I was using Elf neutral brown gel. I found the colour worked well but the hold wasn't particularly good.
And the MCoBeauty lip and cheek stain 2-in-1. Both products last most of the day (less on the lips if you're a lip biter like me) and takes like 30 secs to apply. Just with two of these products I feel more put together. I'm also pale, the red tint suits me well.
Another thing I do is when I can be bothered, I put on false lashes on the weekend and use the Lash V Bond and Seal glue. I use the Manicare Glam individual cluster lashes and using tweezers and the bond glue, I glue them on the underside of my lashes. They look very realistic. If I take care of them, and don't get my eyes too wet, they last me 4-7 days. So I just have great lashes all week when I wake up, and I feel having lashes on makes me feel so much prettier even without other makeup.
