Weekends to us mean leisurely brunches, hiking with friends, and, OK, catching up on errands too. What they don't mean: spending hours in front of the mirror perfecting a cat eye before heading to the coffee shop or grocery store.
That said, we're still prone to using the entire contents of our makeup bags to create a "no makeup makeup" look on our days off. So this challenge is harder than it might initially seem. We gave Rosie from TotalBeauty.com and Kristin from BeautyRiot.com the Pixi Shade Quartette in Shades of Peach, $22. Using that, and a few other key products like foundation and mascara, they were asked to create casual looks perfect for the weekend. First up, Kristin ...

"I finished up my look with a little NP Set Lip Balm with Benefits in Capri, $10. It's great for the weekend since it's sheer but still adds a subtle pop of color to my face.
