Dear Perpetually Late Self (yep, that’s you, Karen),

Duuuuuuude. sometimes you truly surprise me.

I utilized to believe your finest concept was dumping that guy you satisfied dancing in that cage at the club, since truly now, what type of future can you have with a cage-dancing, club-hopping, Kangol-hat using player?

Aber dieses? utilizing your iPhone’s timer to track exactly how much time you’re costs on your makeup? Das ist hervorragend. Your finest concept yet.

I don’t understand exactly how you came up with it (perhaps you got tired of being late for, like, everything?), however in just a couple months it’s already saved you about a zillion hours.

And setting the phone’s Auto-Lock function to “Never” was a quite great idea. That method the phone didn’t even go to sleep. All you had to do was set the timer for 30 minutes as well as click “Start.”

Earlier this week I tried a 15-minute MAC Divine night look. Today I provided myself a bit more time…

Today you provided yourself 30 minutes to get your deal with on utilizing the new MAC Divine night collection as well as — “WOOP! WOOP!” — you really did it.

Kudos.

Minutes 30:00-20:00 — Face

I like that you started with the fundamentals — primer, foundation, concealer, powder as well as brows. You got your skin completed first, so if something unforeseen had come up, at least you were done with that.

20:00-5:00 — Eyes

MAC Mineralize Eye shadow in past Midnight
For your eyes, you went with a shadow duo — purple as well as pink Mineralize Eye shadow in past Midnight — which seems smart since you were in a hurry. I keep in mind you discussing the duo before as well as exactly how it had extremely bit after effects as well as was simple to blend. Those things always save time. as well as when I saw that you decided to do a simple smokey eye, I thought, “Good call.”

Using MAC Feline Kohl around your lids as a base made sense. The super creamy, easy-to-blend formula makes quick work of smokey eyes.

With my reliable MAC 239 brush…
Oh, as well as patting the purple shade from past Midnight directly on top? I couldn’t figure out why you did that at first, however then it hit me — the black base intensified the purple, as well as since past Midnight’s finely mixed powder was so simple to blend, you weren’t costs permanently as well as a day buffing out the edges with your tapered 224.

Patting the lighter pink on top of the purple to add dimension as well as shimmer

When it comes to gradients, I’m with you, man! Ich bin besessen. You could’ve stopped before that point, however you decided to go for it. You patted the lighter pink shade from past Midnight in the center of your lids (with the exact same 239 brush, I noted, just flipped over) as well as produced that gradient that moves from light to dark.

Then you used two coats of mascara as well as lined your upper as well as lower water lines with Feline Kohl.

Not poor for 15-minute eyes!

Minutes 5:00-0:00 — Cheeks as well as Lips

MAC Mineralize blush in Talk of the Town
By that time the clock had run down to five minutes, however you didn’t panic. since you spent most of the 30 minutes on your deal with as well as eyes, you went easier on your cheeks, buffing Talk of the town Mineralize blush on the apples.

The MAC 109 clean triggers goofy face…
Good thing you utilized a MAC 109 to apply it, since Talk of the Town’s powder grains are a bit fluffy. If you’d utilized something with a larger, less dense clean head, you might’ve ended up with powder around the location (even up in your hairline).

Smoothing out those edges…
Ha! — as well as I understand you as well well. You couldn’t withstand blending out the edges of that smokey eye a bit more with your MAC 224 packed with Talk of the town Blush. I do that technique all the time when I don’t have a shift color nearby.
