My Fast Minimalist Makeup Routine: Busy Morning Tips

Over the years I have perfected my fast morning routine to these essential items. Even though I blog about makeup, I don't wear a full face on daily basis for both practical and professional reasons. Here's a list of my favorite items that will get you that quick fresh look.

Gunmetal Grey Eyeliners: MUFE Aqua Eyes in 21L vs. Urban Decay 24/7 in Gunmetal

Some of you may know that I'm not a fan of wearing black eyeliner pencil during the day. I have quite a gaze and if I line my eyes with a black eyeliner (excluding classic winged looks), I tend to intimidate people even more. Cool browns and dark greys are a lot more flattering. They also open up my eyes rather than make things look a little slimmer and just a bit too intense.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Eye Pencil in #2 Coffee Review: My Go-To Eyeliner

A good eyeliner pencil will make your daily makeup routine fast and easy. This one is smooth and pigmented with long lasting powers. I also love the built-in smudger that allows me to create different looks while on the go.
