I don’t know about you, but my grooming habits have – how shall we put it – relaxed a bit ever since we all got locked in our houses.
I mean; who can be bothered with perfect beach waves when you are slobbing around in sweat pants all day anyway.
However, as my presence is required at Zoom meetings here and there, and I do want to look at least somewhat normal (and not just like I have spent the morning building four million pillow forts and eaten yet another batch of cookies – which, you know, I have) for chatting with co-workers and clients.
And so I have developed a very speedy beauty routine when I know I have an on-screen meeting or chat coming up that ensures my face looks like I have actually bothered to look in the mirror that morning.
My go-to product?
I have never been a fan of full-on foundations, as I feel like they only clog my skin and make it look dull and tired, so I am usually a tinted moisture kind of a girl, loving how these are almost a fusion between makeup and actual skincare.
However, during these lockdown days, I can’t even be bothered with that – now I am all about letting my skin breathe.
But –when a Zoom call looms and I need to look at least a little bit pulled together, I whip out my this amazing primer, and apply a thin layer all over my face – and voila – my skin looks seriously glowy and perfect – no makeup needed.
I have been a long-term fan of Laura Mercier products, and this one is one of those ‘must-have’ ones I know I will forever keep re-buying once I run out. Infused with beauty-enhancing Porcelain Flower Extract and a blend of Micronized Pearls, the primer imparts a healthy glow on the skin, with the pearls reflect light to visibly refresh dull, tired skin.
Oh – and if I really want to make an effort these days, I apply some Clarins Wonder Perfect Mascara too! Take it from me – it’s a must-buy!
