Good morning, friend! How are you today? 🤗 I’m actually a little less frazzled than I was yesterday because of this glorious thing I stumbled onto called “a makeup uniform” (we talked about it the other day).
Which leads me to…
A hair uniform
In that post, I think I forgot to mention that, along with the makeup uniform, I’ve also been doing a hair uniform. To go with the bold lips and winged liner this week, I’ve been doing a simple low ponytail with a smooth side swoop. I think the structure of the hair works well with the makeup, and — bonus! — I can whip it out in less than five minutes.
An awesome sheer base combo
In the comments, Angie recently asked what foundation I’ve been wearing lately with the makeup uniform. Side note — hey, Angie! I’ve been wearing CeraVe’s mineral tinted moisturizer all over my face with a little Estée Lauder 24H concealer under my eyes and around my mouth. I set both with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Powder in Medium Golden.
I feel like my skin looks even-toned and polished with this particular mix of products, but I don’t feel like I’m wearing heavy base makeup. 👍
Ilia dreams
I’m trying to finish up the bottle of CeraVe so I can finally buy the Ilia Skin Tint. When that haul happens (and it will happen!), I also plan to get another Ilia Eye Tint. I’m thinking Dim, the grayish lavender, or mossy green Hatch. Or both! 😁
One last thing! — just in case you haven’t taken MAC Candy Yum Yum lipstick out for a spin lately (it’s the hot pink I’m wearing in these pics), this is your friendly reminder that she needs some love.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. For your ears today:
Your hair uniform is much more put-together than my ponytail could ever be! 🙂 You know I’m all about having the same makeup and hair every day (and the lowest maintenance), so I totally support your new initiative!
The lipstick looks awesome on you. Thinking about wearing it myself makes me want to sprint in the other direction. Isn’t that weird? It’s just lip color! HAHA!
I love that you call it a hair uniform! I work with kids and I wear my bangs pinned up and a bun every work day and I was starting to wonder if I was being lazy but not any more!! Its my hair uniform!!! Brilliant!
I’ve always loved this Bill Withers song- thanks for sharing it today!
A hair and makeup uniform is a life saver, and this one gets bonus points because it doesn’t require your hair to be freshly washed!
