Daytime Makeup

When it comes to daily makeup, I usually opt for something quick and foolproof but still fresh and polished. Some neutral shimmer on the eyes, complemented with some matte brown hues for definition is hardly difficult -- even on very sleepy mornings! The Too Faced Chocolate Bonbons palette does the job well. The color selections in it lean more cool-toned, which creates the most natural looking "shade and light" on my light skin.

Depending on time, I add in some eyeliner. Brows and mascara are a must.

Now for some spontaneity! I tend to change up my lips depending on the season and the #ootd. But generally, colors I like for daytime are either sheer/ balmy rosey hues or bold statement mattes. It perks up the complexion and makes me feel ready for the day. 

Here, I put on a red lip in the shade Lucy by Beauty People, a very affordable K-beauty brand that does amazing colorful makeup. It looks a little warm in the photos but it's actually a true red that would be flattering on any skin tone. While I can only treat myself to mattes when my lips are super nourished,  I throw this one on easily because it's so lightweight and not drying. It also stays put so that's a thumbs up!
