The Makeup: The Lazy Girl & Her Lie In's

Minimal makeup? Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. I’ll try not to bore you with that spiel. But when it comes to late summer evenings, I still try to get as much sleep as possible. Even if it means sacrificing my beloved eyeliner and lashings of curl holding mascara. I find that the extra 30 minutes in bed makes all the difference to both my mood and skin. 

After a good nights sleep blemishes and redness always appear to be dramatically reduced. This means that once i’ve applied my Clarins Instant Smooth Self Tanning, I can opt for far less concealer – Origins Plantscription concealer in shade three (SHADE THEE PEOPLE! Summer is officially in full swing) – and a smidge of tinted moisturiser through the centre of my face. Naturally it has to be the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser, I’m currently a mixture of Fawn and Bisque thanks to my SPF loving ways (my body is definitely far browner).

Once my base is done, a quick whip through the brows with both ends of the Topshop brow pencil keeps things in check. Then out come the Kevyn Aucoin eyelash curlers followed by a coat of the Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme mascara, if you need something that holds a curl, look elsewhere, but for natural, fluttery lashes this ticks the lash loving boxes.

On my lips? Nothing but the odd bit of left over toothpaste as I make a break for the door unfortunately. Luckily I have the boy at my side to correct these mishaps before I come into contact with the outside world. Thanks boyfriend.

    Glad to hear I don't seem to be the only one with a much paler face than her body, it drives me mad! x

    Just the post I needed to read! I've just graduated and got my first full-time job that unfortunately means I'm up at 6am every day and the lack of sleep is killing me. I have to say though, you pull off the natural look far better than I do! Definitely going to try and brave it for the sake of extra time in bed tomorrow morning though x

    I love your no makeup, makeup looks and this is not an exception. The tinted moisturiser looks lovely, really evens your skin out.

    I'm all about the minimal especially when i'm too lazy to go out so was interesting to see your picks! Haha made me laugh when you were happy about shade 3- finally getting tan! But I cant really talk either reckon I would be the same shade!
