Imagine a typical morning. You’re barely awake (pre-coffee) and trying to find the best look to suit your mood for the day, so you revert to your comfort zone and grab the simplest things in your beauty bin. For a stress-free routine, opt for everyday makeup and skin care that you can maintain and feel good in. We’ve gathered some essentials below—like sheer primer, flawless concealer and natural-looking lipstick—to help get you started.

Made with a blend of shea butter and vitamin E, this nourishing foundation stick doubles as a concealer. Use it atop your tinted moisturizer to cover remaining problem areas, or add a swipe below each eye to appear more awake. Throw it in your purse for on-the-go touchups.
A SUBTLE FLUSH

This liquid blush features a unique cushion applicator and a luxe formula that glides onto skin for a dewy flush. Not to mention, it’s made with rosehip oil, the buzzy ingredient that hydrates, brightens and soothes skin. Still blushing? View our full blush collection.
FINELY LINED EYES
