Build It Up
If you need a little facial coverage, a creamy concealer is great if you’re low on time. Avoid the faff of layering up liquids, simply use the warmth of your finger to melt the product into any areas that need it. These handy little pots are easy to reapply on-the-go too!

Brows
Eyebrows are often underrated as part of a pared back make-up routine. While you don’t necessarily want a dramatic brow without fuller make-up, a little definition goes a long way. A good brow gel will keep you looking groomed for longer, with a little tint to add structure or cover up any grey. This small step takes around five seconds but frames the face beautifully.

Heavy foundation takes time to buff in and requires you to add colour. Instead, opt for tinted moisturisers and blendable cream formulae that you can apply with clean fingers.
