If I need to look human in under five minutes, it’s probably something from this section. Just enough to add color, glow, or life back into my face without trying too hard. These are my fuss-free favourites.
This blush is hyped for a reason. Just one dot gives your face instant color and lift, even if you barely slept. It blends easily with fingers or a sponge and lasts all day. I use the shade Happy, but if you have fair skin, you might prefer something...
