Makeup Recommendation

I am looking for a simple makeup routine, something that will literally only take minutes that will look polished and professional.

What makeup/brand do you recommend? I have a lot of Elizabeth Arden makeup, some Clinique, MAC. I'm kind of all over the place and have zero makeup skills. A long time ago, I used Bobbi Brown and remember liking her stuff.

Please recommend brands and any specific products. Thanks!

Re: Makeup Recommendation

I have makeup from all different brands. I just bought the BB cream from smashbox and I really do like it. My routine is as follows:

Lotion
BB Cream (Smashbox)
Concealer (Mac)
Press Powder (Mac)
blush (smashbox)
mascara (benefit)
bronzer (benefit) on a good day
Lipstick (only if I feel up to it)

all this takes about 10 minutes, if that.

Night out, I get more into it with primer, foundation and eye makeup.

I am super simple too.
For everyday:
SPF lotion
Chanel powder * link below, I LOVE this

Nars Blush (I use deep throat, I know most people use orgasm)

Darken eyebrows

White eyeshadow dabbed on the inside corner of each eye (i use a Clinique 8 shade palette that I love so much more than my naked palettes, I like the range of colors better, will also include the link)

dark brown liner from halfway to outside corner under each eye

2 coats of mascara top and 1 bottom

All done in less than 5 minutes.

Going out I do up my eyes a ton and will do lips.

This is the face powder, I love it:

Re: Makeup Recommendation

If you want to keep it really simple but polished, I would suggest a BB cream, blush and a neutral eye look with browns/bronze color, mascara and a nude/pink lip.

Garnier BB cream
Tarte Amazonian clay blush
Naked 2 basics palette
