Easy Makeup Tips For A Quick, Flawless Look
Easy Makeup Tips for a Quick, Flawless Look
When it comes to makeup, I like to keep things simple and efficient, especially on busy days. Over time, I’ve found a routine that works for me and gives me a polished look without spending hours in front of the mirror.
First things first: I always start with a clean, moisturized face. I give my skin a few minutes to soak in the moisturizer—it makes a huge difference in how smoothly makeup applies.
Next, I apply a makeup primer with rice protein. This step is essential for keeping my skin matte and shine-free all day. Having dealt with acne in the past, the "dewy" look isn’t for me, so this primer is a game-changer.
Most days, I skip the heavy stuff like foundation, concealer, and powder unless I’m going for a full-face look. Instead, I focus on enhancing my eyes and brows.
My Quick Eye & Brow Routine:
Brows: I use a brow tint to define my shape and pluck any stray hairs to keep things clean and tidy.
Eyeshadow: Since I have hooded eyes, I keep it simple:
Apply a light, sparkly shadow on the brow bone for a subtle highlight.
Use a darker shadow on the upper lid for depth.
Finish with a white, shimmery shadow on the inner corners for brightness.
Eyeliner: A thin line of black liquid liner on the outer half of my top lid with a small wing works wonders for my eye shape.
Optional Pop: Sometimes, I’ll add white eyeliner on my waterline to make my eyes appear bigger.
Mascara: A few coats to define my lashes, and I’m good to go!
For lips, I keep it low-maintenance with a swipe of clear gloss or Vaseline. It keeps my lips hydrated all day without feeling sticky or heavy.
Life Hack:
If you struggle with oil and shine throughout the day, makeup blotting papers are your best friend. These small, portable sheets soak up excess oil without messing up your makeup. They’re compact enough to fit in a pocket or purse, making them perfect for touch-ups on the go.
This routine is quick, easy, and leaves me feeling confident without overdoing it. What’s your favorite go-to makeup trick? Share it below—I’d love to hear!

Lauren gave me a sympathetic look. "Well, his loss! From what I understand, there's a lot more in the bowl than just punch," she said, winking at me as she unlinked her arm from Will's. "Speaking of which, if you'll excuse me, I'm in need of some refreshments," she added, then withdrew from us.

Read Here!
In the bustling streets of New York City, our protagonist becomes haunted by the eerie sight of a mysterious young girl with red ribbons in her braids, appearing and vanishing like a ghost. Driven by a relentless curiosity and an inexplicable connection, they pursue her through the crowded avenues and into the depths of the city's underground. This chase leads to a hidden world-a forgotten, flooded labyrinth beneath the city, where time stands still and reality blurs. Trapped in this uncanny liminal space, they encounter Bill, a weary man who reveals the chilling truth: escape is only possible through an ancient laptop, but only one person can leave each day by entering a series of meaningful, unlucky numbers from their past. Haunted by memories of near-drowning and loss, the protagonist must confront their deepest fears and regrets to unlock the numbers that hold the key to freedom. With the weight of past mistakes pressing down, they race against time to find the combination that will lead them back to the surface before the shadows of the liminal space close in forever. Will they decipher the code and escape, or will they become another forgotten soul, lost in the depths? The Liminal Escape is a gripping tale of mystery, fear, and redemption that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
