Wow! I must be moving like a sloth. I don't even touch my brows, and still takes me longer than 10 minutes.

I prefer to sleep as late as I can, so rocket mode makeup application it is!Wow! I must be moving like a sloth. I don't even touch my brows, and still takes me longer than 10 minutes.
Also, I concentrate on keeping my skin in good condition so I don't need a heavy base or concealing any spots etc. That helps.
HAHA I've been thinking of posting the same. Because....always.

Workdays with meetings/stakeholder contact:
- skincare, sunscreen
- makeup is normally GA Neo Nude Foundation, Chanel Jersey blush, Mascara, YSL brow gel, Victoria Beckham Lip tint (the brown or dark burgundy ones)

- Paula's Choice pore reducing toner
- Paula's Choice Hyaluronic Acid Booster
- Olay complete SPF 15 moisturizer (I have been using Olay moisturizers since I was a teen)
- maybe once a week or fortnigh, Maybelline instant age rewind concealer under my eyes if my eyebags are out of control
- for lips I alternate between Laneige lip sleeping mask as a lip balm when I can't be bothered or Maybelline Super Stay 24hours, Hermes, Chanel or YSL lipstick
If I know I'm going to be out in the sun for an extended period of time I replace my Olay moisturizer with Naked Sundays SPF50
At night before bed after cleansing I use the same toner, then also add Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant, followed by my hyaluronic acid and moisturizer.
I go without concealer and lipstick during weekends or when I work from home.

I do have a lot of makeup products, including a Chanel foundation that I haven’t even opened. I just never wake up early enough to do my makeup. I am already waking up at 6:45am, can’t do any earlier than that. Lol.
