If its not simple and quick - I am out! These are the products and steps I take that meet those requirements and keep me looking fresh. Bonus is most are clean beauty products!
AM Step 1: Vitamin C! Step 1: Mix Saie + Embryolisse to prep skin. Embryolisse is a holy grail product! Aquaphor for lips! Step 2: Merit - The Minimalist all over your face for coverage and to even out skin tone. I rub it in with hands. Step 3: Merit - Bronzer Balm anywhere the sun would hit. I use the No. 1 brush to blend. Step 4: Merit - Flush Balm Cream Blush. I use a different No. 1 brush to blend but lots of people use just one for The Minimalist, Bronzer Balm and Flush Balm Cream Blush. Up to you! Honorable mention for IIias Multi-Stick. Step 5: L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara. I've tried them all and I always come back to this one. Another holy grail product for me! Step 6: I am a lip gloss GIRL. Love all of these, but Merit Lip Tint Oil is 12/10.
PM Step 1: Wash face with La Roche-Posay Step 2: Tretinion every night. I know a lot of Derms recco different but give “Mrs. Derm” a follow on Instagram. Step 3: Cerave all over. I told you I keep it simple! *1-2x a week I will exfoliate at night.
