Or how about at the last minute, when you thought you were just staying in for the umpteenth night in a row, putting the kids to bed and hoping to find a little entertainment with a netflix movie? Needless to say you're probably looking anything but cute and BAM, your friend texts and says "HEY, I have a babysitter for you and I wanna take you out for sushi. I'll be there in 30 minutes!" WHAT! you say. My hair is standing on end, I have eyeliner smeared under my eyes and I'm wearing polka dot jammy pants and my silk shirt from work today. I can't go anywhere! Yes, yes you can. And this video will help you with at least your make up, your hair and clothes....well, you're on your own there. He he he.
In the video I start off wearing a minimal amount of make up, something you might wear just on a daily basis while running errands and whatnot. Or it's just your daily, natural look. Then we take it up a notch to a look that's more suitable for going out to dinner or to church or just anytime you want to wear "a little something more". And we do it quickly. It's a little slower in the video than it actually takes of course because I'm talking to you and stopping to show you things. But in real life this "revving" would take me about 5 minutes. So go ahead, go for sushi! Tell your Husband/Boyfriend "SURE, we can go out honey!" because you've got the quick fix for that dead or just not too exciting make up.
Here is what I used in the video:
Eyes-
Mac 217 brush for the crease color
Matte dark brown color in the E.L.F Beauty Encyclopedia Neutral's Edition palette (Target, $5) in the crease and under the eye. Eco Tools smudger brush for under the eye.
Covergirl Outlast Smoothwear All Day Eyeliner in Onyx
L'oreal Voluminous mascara in Carbon Black
Brows-NYC Browser in Brunette
Cheeks-
Motives Shape and Sculpt Duo (it doesn't have a "color" on it) to contour
Mac Mineralized Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle for highlighting (a good dupe for this is by Hard Candy, you can get that brand at Walmart and they have a powder that looks almost exactly like this one I showed you in the video)
Blush (already on from previous video) was Laura Gellar Blush-N-Brighten in Pink Grapefruit on the apples of the cheeks
Lips-
Revlon Velvet Chrome lipstick in Garnet Chrome-if you have a problem with your lipstick feathering outside your lip line you can use a lip liner in the same shade as your lipstick or the same color as your natural lip color to help build a barrier to keep your lipstick in the lines)

I am very sorry that I don't have any still shots of either, I don't know what took over my brain. I completely forgot to take pictures! Please forgive me, I'll remember next time. If you have any questions at all please leave me a comment and I'll do my best to help. Have fun!
