Let’s have a ’round the blogosphere’ love in…
You’re running late and only have time to apply ONE makeup product to your face (after you’ve applied your skincare, of course). What’s it going to be?
Foundation, foundation and a bit more foundation just to be safe. I can cope with most things but if my blotchiness and spider veins are on display, I’m pretty grumpy.
Here’s this week’s blog round up…

Which product would you take the time to apply?
Mascara, definitely.
I think I could just about get away without foundation or bronzer but mascara is a must have!
First off kudos to you for getting away without foundation! I would definitely reach for the foundation and oh how i love my lashes when they are mascara-fied lol that would definitely have made the top 5 list!
Wish I could get away without foundation or some cheek colour… look like I’ve been dug up without!
I think the answer to that question will be foundation/tinted moisturizer for most people. It is for me.
If you can get your base right, you’re halfway there!
Foundation for me as well, before I switched to mineral foundation, I would have said pressed powder as without any powder the oils on my face have free rein to make my hair greasy more quickly.
I <3 mineral foundation… in the summer I use it instead of a setting powder over a very light foundation.
Lipstick – definitely my first choice every time. Preferably a nice, bright colour. At the moment my favourite quick face-brightener is Illamasqua Atomic – a fantastic fuchsia! xxx
I have Atomic, it’s a stonking shade for Summer, good choice! x
Lipstick. Definitely lipstick. I’m lucky with my skin and my eyelashes I think, but if I have bare lips I feel very naked. xx
Ahh wish I could get away with just lipstick, lucky soul!
Definitely mascara. Unless I’m having one of those “wow my skin looks really weird” days, then it’ll have to be foundation! x
I don’t want to choose just one! LOL
Lip gloss, definitely.
