Makeup I’m Loving Lately
Real-Time Car Makeup Routine: Simple, Glowy, Effortless ✨
I wanted to share my everyday makeup routine—the one I actually use. Over the years I’ve tried a lot of products, but these are the ones I keep coming back to. They make my skin look good, my eyes pop, and my lips feel happy—which, honestly, is all I care about.
This is my go-to when I want my skin to look fresh and hydrated without overthinking it. It’s quick, easy, and made up of products that work well together—perfect if you love that soft, glowy, lived-in look.
Here’s everything I used in today’s real-time car makeup routine—simple, glowy, and effortless 👇
Skin Prep + Finish
The Non-Negotiable
I always start and finish with RIMAN Set & Stay Spray. This is my ride-or-die Korean skincare + makeup mist because it does so much in one step. It’s deeply hydrating, perfect for layering between products, and gives that fresh, dewy finish that makes your skin look healthy—not greasy.
I mist before makeup, between layers, and again at the end to lock everything in.
K-Beauty Cushion
It’s so good
I use it as both my foundation and concealer: instead of using multiple shades, I stick with this one and apply it more concentrated under my eyes. The trick? Letting it sit while I do the rest of my makeup, then blending it in. Total game changer for coverage without creasing.
You can click the links below to find your shade, or upload a photo and I can help match you. You’re going to love it.
PS: Each cushion comes with one compact plus a refill in the box, so you actually get two cushions in the shade you choose.
Bronzer
I never go without!
For warmth, I used the Chanel Bronzer. It’s soft, blendable, and gives just enough color to bring life back to the skin without looking heavy or muddy—perfect for quick makeup situations.
Glow
This One Deserves a Moment
The Jones Road Miracle Balm is that product. It gives the most effortless glow—like your skin is naturally hydrated and thriving.
I tapped it onto the high points of my face and also used it on my lips for a natural, glossy finish. One product, multiple uses, zero fuss.
Lips + Soft Contour
Such a versatile product
I used a Seint Face & Lip Pencil to line my lips and softly contour my nose. This pencil is so versatile—you can literally contour your entire face with it if you want. Creamy, blendable, and super forgiving.
Eyes
Effortless Glam
For eyes, I kept it simple with Seint Eyeshadows. Quick, neutral shades that are easy to blend and universally flattering—exactly what you want when you’re doing makeup on the go.
Mascara
My ride or die for years
No surprises here: Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara. It’s been my forever favorite for bold, full lashes that instantly make you look more awake 🖤
My favorite Brushes
I keep it simple with just three brushes: one for eyeshadow, one 2-in-1 for blush and bronzer, and one for concealer or quick touch-ups. That’s all you need to do your whole face quickly and effortlessly—no extra brushes, no fuss.
If you love makeup that’s easy, skin-loving, and realistic for everyday life, this routine is for you. It’s glowy, effortless, and doesn’t require overthinking—just the way I like it ✨. A few good products and simple techniques are really all you need to look put-together.
Whether you’re running out the door, grabbing coffee, or just want a little glow, this routine has you covered.
