The Foolproof's

It's all very well spending a good half an hour or so on a smokey eye (trust me ladies, it can be done) but what about when we have five minutes to spare or are slapping something on in the back of a dimly lit taxi? My stash of saviours, let's christen them 'The Foolproof's', are the products that can be applied with fingers, toes, or even without a mirror (because lets face it the one in that blush palette isn't that great anyway). 

For starters there's the base, Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion, which I originally raved about here. So light, weightless and blendable that can be applied in the most haphazard way and still look natural. I tend to slap it on like a moisturiser - pat and blend with fingertips. 

For a hint of colour Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blush is perfection. The incredibly light texture practically melts into the skin providing nothing too over the top, just the perfect amount of natural colour.  The shade Cherub is what's gracing my cheeks below. 

Helena Rubinstein Lash Queen Mascara has the perfect brush that's not too fat and not too skinny getting the perfect combination of length and volume. Oh and... If you can apply your mascara without a mirror, I salute you.

Thanks to Birchbox UK my latest love, Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Rose Tinted keeps lips hydrated, glossy and tinted. A quick coat and that's my face in five...
