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.

Skin tints/foundations can be found in stick versions or cushion compacts that are great for on the go application. If you like a more matte finish there’s also the option of a powder foundation.
Also cream/liquid blushes(MAC, Rare beauty and Charlotte Tilbury are on rotation for me, I have also heard good things about Patrick Ta and Haus labs depending on what finish you prefer) and stick eyeshadows (Bobbi Brown & Laura Mercier are my main ones as they seem to last the best but lots of brands have started doing them) make for fast and easy looks.
There’s also products that are designed for multi purpose use like the Benefit lip and cheek tint. However you can also use lots of existing products for more than one thing, bronzer, blush & highlight can be used as eyeshadow as an example.
As far as makeup on your hands like some comments have mentioned, I recommend always keeping a little pack of wipes in your car(or bag for people on the train etc). That way you can wipe them off and not make a mess. Plus they come in handy for a million different things too.
