My guide to an effortless, natural and dewy full-face look - and it only takes 12 minutes.
I hate waking up early, but I love doing my makeup - I'm sure many of you can relate! Here are my go-to products for a quick, natural-looking glow that doesn't take more than 12 minutes. Let me know what you think of it!
This lightweight, moisturizing primer absorbs quickly and leaves your skin feeling fresh and prepped. It’s the perfect base for a dewy, radiant look and pairs very well with other makeup. It also smells great, and is packed with natural ingredients, ...
ESSENCE Hello Good Stuff Primer
It’s free from parabens, silicones, and alcohol, which is very important when it comes to cosmetics. It's also verycomfortable to wear. The texture is light, not greasy at all, and it sinks into the skin super fast. No sticky finish, no strong SPF sm...
This is my go-to SPF — the one I always come back to. I stick to 50+ protection, and this one just ticks all the boxes.
REVOX Daily Sun Shield 50+ SPF
If you’re after that natural, glowy look but don’t feel like wearing foundation, this is perfect. The coverage is light and natural, yet it manages to even everything out beautifully. Plus, it's very comfortable to wear, it doesn't feel like having a...
RIMMEL Better Than Filters Multitasker
It comes in a bunch of shades, so it’s super easy to find the right one for whatever you’re dealing with (dark circles, redness, discolouration, etc.).
I use the yellow one to brighten up those purple under-eye circles in the morning, and it works ...
SHEGLAM Liquid Colour Corrector
This has been my go-to concealer since my teen years — and I still swear by it. It does exactly what a good concealer should: covers well (I'd say medium coverage), blends easily, and actually lasts all day. A reliable, budget-friendly option.
CATRICE Liquid Camouflage Concealer
I use just the tiniest bit of this to set the areas where I’ve applied concealer — it locks everything in place without taking away that dewy finish. It’s also great if you prefer a more matte look, since it takes down shine without making your skin ...
ESSENCE Mattifying Compact Powder
I want to focus on the blush in this duo - it's become a daily must-have for me. The shades look natural, and the pigmentation is just right: definitely noticeable but not too bright (however, it's buildable if you are going for a more intense look).... Bonus point that it comes with a matching highlighter.
SHEGLAM Blush & Highlighter Duo
Hands down my favorite highlighters! There are so many different shades, which gives you endless opportunities (even those shades that are too dark for me work perfectly as eyeshadow toppers), and with the amount of product it has, you are stocked wi...
REVOLUTION x Soph Highlighter Palette
Perfect for everyday looks - whether you just want some shimmer in the inner corner, a light neutral look or a full glam eyelook, you can achieve all of them with this palettes. The matt shades are pigmented and easy to blend, and the shimmers (some ...
REVOLUTION Reloaded Velvet Rose Eyeshadow Palette
My current favourite to achieve the look of intense black, longer and thicker lashes. It's very easy to use (even though the brush is smaller than most) and the effect last throughout the day.
DELIPLUS Maxi Volume / Maxi Curve black mascara
The quickest way to do my brows, just a few swipes and voila! Combed, shaped and tinted.
My brows are naturally very light, but this has enough pigment that a quick sweep works wonders. Sometimes I like to make some corrections with a slim brow pencil, if needed.
ESSENCE Thick & Wow Brow Mascara
I use this along with my brow gel, but it works just as well on its own. The tip is slim and precise, which makes it easy to shape, fill in, or just add a few hair-like strokes where needed. It has the perfect texture, right between creamy and solid....
MAYBELLINE Ultra Slim Brow Pencil
They're creamy enough to glide on and make adjustments, but not so creamy that they smudge or slide around; they stay put rather well. It comes in many different, mostly nude shades. A solid, everyday lip liner that gets the job done without any fuss...
NYX Professional Makeup Slim Lip Pencil
This formula is super comfortable - it's not sticky at all and feels light on the lips. The pigmentation is fine, and many shades contain sparkles that will give you a subtle, elegant finish. It's so pretty on the lips!
Like any other lipgloss, you'll need to reapply it every few hours. However, it wears off in a way that's not too noticeable.
KIKO 3D Hydre Lipgloss
It's very comfortable and feels moisturising on the lips. It's not sticky at all. There is a wide range of shades, some even contain shimmers, and they are all super pretty and pigmented. As any other lipgloss, it wears off with time, but it fades away in a way that's not noticeable. It can be used with or without a lipliner.
The best affordable lipgloss formula out there in my opinion - it easily beats other high-end lipglosses I've tried.
