If you don’t blend them out perfectly, no worries, since the colors are all quite low contrast, so you can’t truly ruin — or, rather, if you do, you can’t truly tell.
Perfect for people who are often running behind (she said, increasing her hand in the air while saying, “Ooh! Ooh! like me.”).
All five shades likewise have a hint of a sheen to ’em (it’s extremely subtle as well as nothing remarkable like a frost), which makes them rather forgiving of fine lines — something I greatly appreciate.

Beyond all of that, they’re likewise just straight-up simple to use. Creamier as well as much more viscous than numerous other cream shadows like the MAC paint Pots, they’re a breeze to spread as well as blend.
Just capture a little amount from the tube, as well as pat as well as blend that on your lids with your fingers. You can even avoid primer with them if you want. I typically do (saves time).
My preferred color? golden beige Bamboom.
I likewise like that name (although Bare Canvas is likewise quite cool).
2. The Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks ($28 each)
Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks
No, these sticks do not include caviar (as far as I can tell). If the MAC Paints are for work, then Laura’s Caviar Sticks are for fun.
These cream shadow sticks are available in a broad variety of colors as well as finishes, from mellow mattes to shimmering jewels.
Like the MAC Paints, brushes are completely optional. I typically just swipe one of the shades (Rosegold is my personal fave) directly on my lids, as well as then blend out the edges with a finger.

Because they glide on the skin as well as include oodles of pigment, one layer is typically enough. You can actually be finished with your eyeshadow in less than a minute.
3. Yves Saint Laurent Kiss & blush Volupte Lips & Cheek color ($40 each)
YSL Kiss & Blush
These multitasking morsels are type of expensive, however they are multitasking (wait, I already stated that). The Kiss & Blushes beautify both lips as well as cheeks.
They feel like a mousse…
No, not like Mickey. It’s pronounced moooooose. LOL! They blend rapidly as well as quickly on bare skin or atop foundation.
And the icing on the cake? They last a truly long time. I get from 6-8 hours from them as a blush on my cheeks, as well as 4-5 hours from them on my lips.
They are available in 12 shades, with my preferred very little makeup ones being the much more neutral colors, like 07 Corail Affranchi, 08 Pink Hedoniste, 09 increased Epicurien as well as 12 Mocha Garconne.

And if you get a hankerin’ for something bright, inspect out bright pink 01 Fuchsia Desinvolte.
Ooh! that a person adds a great deal of life to lips as well as cheeks. apply a couple coats of mascara, as well as seriously, you’re done.
4. MAC prolonged Play Gigablack Lash Mascara ($16)
MAC prolonged Play Gigablack Lash Mascara
Speaking of mascaras, MAC prolonged Play Gigablack Lash is my preferred mascara in the entire MAC line, as well as it’s likewise fantastic for very little makeup looks.
I like the brush. It’s just so small as well as simple to wield.
Those huge Shrek-sized mascara brushes tend to leave a ton of excess product on my lids as well as lash lines that I end up having to clean, however Gigablack Lash’s bit clean doesn’t do that, yet it still grabs every last lash hair, so my lashes look very separated as well as stretched.
I utilize this on both my upper as well as lower lashes, as well as the formula lasts all the time long without flaking or smudging.
Ding-ding-ding! Winner, winner, (veggie) poultry dinner.
5. Chanel Stylo Yeux water resistant eyeliner ($32)
Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof
These water resistant liners have been saving my butt lately. They excel at thickening lash lines, as well as they have wonderful powers…
OK, not really, however they do kind of make your eyes look bigger.
First, they’re twist-ups, so no requirement to sharpen (YES!), Così come il suggerimento magro è veramente semplice da ottenere tra le tue ciglia private (woot!).
In secondo luogo, la formula duratura significa, ancora, nessun primer (se non vuoi).
In terzo luogo, le mie linee d’acqua sono stranamente sensibili (molto simili a me stesso, lol!), In particolare quando riguarda la resistenza all’acqua e le fodere di lunga durata, tuttavia questa roba? Per qualsiasi ragione, posso tollerarlo completamente.
