Makeup Made for Effortless Ease
There’s nothing Instagram (and the C&W team) loves more than a dewy face of barely-there makeup.
With quarantine lingering and the spring semester of Zoom University arriving, the drive to jump out of bed decreases further and further, yet our desire to still look put together and fresh does not. The secret to flattering makeup that actually takes 5 minutes to apply is the use of multipurpose products that are high in quality but low in maintenance. Here are three of my favorite products that achieve a natural and lived in look in just a few steps.
Multi-Stick
ILIA Beauty, $34
Creamy, blendable, and buildable, the ILIA Beauty Multi-Stick is a multipurpose formula built to add a wash of color to lips and cheeks for a monochromatic effect that appears intentional yet soft.
“The Minimalist” Perfecting Complexion Stick
Merit Beauty, $38
With a “less is more” ideal in mind, Merit Beauty launched with 7 products to cater to those who avoid clutter on their vanity and in makeup routine, but still enjoy a chic, luxury product. It’s in the name: “The Minimalist” Perfecting Complexion Stick replaces both foundation and concealer with a lightweight, hydrating formula that melts seamlessly into the skin, allowing coverage wherever needed.
Beauty Bento Eyeshadow Trio
Kaja Beauty, $21
Featuring ‘just the essentials’ to complete an eyeshadow look, Kaja Beauty’s Beauty Bento stacks are a curated selection of 3 eyeshadows in a variety of shimmer and matte shades to suit every skin tone and mood. Easy to blend out with a finger or a single brush, Kaja Beauty’s Beauty Bentos make 35-pan eyeshadow palettes a thing of the past.
