Casually Living

Rushing to get out of the house every morning usually leaves my face on empty. Not always from tiredness. In this instance, I mean with no makeup. I'm ok with leaving the house with no makeup on, honestly. I mean I have been doing it all my life, because I couldn't wear makeup to school, so there's that. But some days when I have to meet a client or just have a little extra time to get ready in the morning, I have a quick routine that has my face looking fresh and as close to my natural face as possible. So here's a step by step guide and a list of all the products I use to achieve it: Step 1: Fill me up: Eyebrows.
