Five makeup products for low maintenance girls

Believe it or not, I used to think of makeup as a chore. Putting on eyeliner and perfecting my eyeshadow blending for both eyes to match were a struggle. For a low maintenance girl like myself, the primer-foundation-concealer-powder-eyeshadow-eyeliner-mascara routine was just took much time and money. But that was many moons ago. In my long journey of appreciating makeup, I found out that makeup can be also fun and very easy to do. I used to waste 10 precious minutes trying to put on my eyeliner, but now I can do it within 60 seconds! Aside from getting lots of practice, it's important to find the right makeup products that’s keep the process fun and stress-free!

Smudged eyeliners, uneven winged lines, panda eyes - those nightmare stories you hear about eyeliners is now a thing of the past! The K-Palette 24 Hour Real Lasting Eyeliner is one of the best eyeliners in the market. The nifty brush tip makes it easy for anyone to apply eyeliner.

The e.l.f. Filler and Lifter Eyebrow Pencil is for the laziest of makeup lovers. It’s a 2-in-1 pencil that fills the brow and highlights the brow bone. I can’t leave the house without defining my brows, so this is one of my go-to products whenever I’m in a hurry. The affordable price tag is also a bonus!

Etude House Color My Brows is a brow mascara that helps coat the fine hairs to match your drawn brows or existing hair color. When I need to run errands, this is my go-to product to fix my brows. It comes in five different colors: Rich Brown, Light Brown, Red Brown, Natural Brown, and Blondie Brown. You can also learn more about brow mascaras here.

I find dry skin easier to fix than dry, chapped lips. LOccitane Shea Butter Lip Balm Stick helps repair and nourish dry lips with Shea Butter. The texture of this lip balm feels like an exfoliator that moisturizes and softens my lips. I also like that it doesn’t hurt already chapped lips, so you can use it over and over again. Don’t let the price tag scare you, because it’s all worth it!

I’m sure that by now, you’ve heard the harmful effects of UV rays and why we always need to wear sunscreen protection. I’ve tried a lot of sunscreens in the past, and many of them are too sticky to apply, especially in a humid country as ours.

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen is a lightweight sunscreen that’s easily absorbable by the skin. The texture is smooth and not greasy. Best of all, it has no white cast so it's very selfie-friendly!
