I'm thinking on school days where I just haven't gotten enough sleep to cut down on the amount of make up I use...

Do you think a bottom (purple) liner would still look good with just mascara as far as eye makeup?

Plus, any tips on quick makeup looks that still include foundation? (I refuse to not wear it) Will be sure to check back on the thread, but thank you in advance anyway(:

I usually do a pop of color on the bottom and plain ol' black liner on the top! It's so simple and quite... refreshing? :) I think it's enough and if not, just a bright lip color can, well, brighten you up :D.

When I'm in a rush I just do powder blush eyeliner on the corners of my eyes and mascara

Ooh, I love those tips, thanks guys! I always wear some face make up, but I think I'll go with mascara and top liner with a bright lip, or mascara and a colored bottom liner. Thanks beauties :*

I used to wear foundation and all that makeup and it just really didn't feel natural and it didn't feel like my skin. Now I just wear: concealer, under eye brightener, eyeliner (sometimes), mascara, cream eyeshadows (they're faster and easier), blush, and eos!

I think you should try just a concealer on your blemishes and see if ou like it and if not you can switch back to your foundation (:

If you have dark eyeashes you could just tightline the top(fuller, thicker lashes anyone?) and a pop of color on the bottom if desired.

Thanks ladies!

@Katelyn, I just really love the finish and look of a foundation.

Kaleigh, I'm actually not sure what you mean by tightline!

I'm planning to cut down on time this year too! Some of the things I've thought about (for me at least) are:
not using foundation. Using primer (just so everything stays) and concealer where I need it then dusting tinted powder over to add that little bit of coverage. Priming my lids and using a light neutral shadow all over (I have super vein-y lids and it looks like I have black eyes otherwise, you probably don't need this step though) then maybe *if* I have enough time doing a crease shade but I doubt I'll have time. Skipping eyeliner except maybe tight lining *if* I have time (where you line your upper waterline basically) and doing mascara. Maybe a lip color. That's pretty much my plan for this year, hope it gave you some ideas :)

When I'm in a rush which is basically everyday :p I just put some white eyeliner in the corners of my eyes to make me look awake and some mascara then I add some foundation powder and setting spray hope I could help :D

For work I just do concealer, broes, mascara, some liner if I feel like it and I use one of those jumbo pencils to highlight the inner corners of my eyes. I just keep it simple since I am mostly outside.

^ I'm same as Kitty when I was working and in college. Simple is so much better
Foundation, concealer, powder, blush, clear brow gel and mascara and I was out the door. I did it on the train on my journey in which was 10 minutes so it wasn't a time consuming routine at all.
I'm not working or in college now for the next few weeks and my routines the same except I contour my crease and apply a bright lipstick, still relatively quick to do :)
