For days when I'm seeking a little extra coverage, I'll swap out my Sulwhasoo CC cushion for this It Cosmetics CC cream. The soft-matte finish wears supremely well and even though the coverage is quite thorough, the formula is still forgiving enough that you can apply it with your fingers in a rush.
I'm a bit fickle and fall in love with a good liquid liner easily — and this is my latest favorite. It's very, very black and the felt tip applicator is just the right combination of firm and flexible. It also sticks around all day, even through sweat and (some) tears. Mostly, I love how easy it is to draw with — usually I can get a satisfactory subtle wing in just a few strokes per eye.
If you're doing your liquid liner in a rush, here's a little lazy girl tip: Cover your mistakes with a smudge of dark eyeshadow. This adds a little extra intensity to your lash line while having the added benefit of hiding any inconsistencies in your winged liner application. A bouncy-textured shadow like this one is so easy to apply with your fingers, which makes it extra clutch when you're trying to get out the door.
I've been very into brow pens lately since they do. not. budge. But when it comes to expediency, you can't beat the standard pencil/spoolie combo. This formula from Kat Von D is especially easy to work with, with a formula that's hard but not too hard and not too waxy, either. It's got a fine point so you've got a lot of control as well and you'll also find that it wears all day long.
Blush can be a dangerous thing to apply in a hurry because the fear of looking like a Victorian porcelain doll always looms large. That's where these come in: They're very sheer and forgiving and even a heavy-handed swipe won't have you looking like a terrifying life-sized doll — rather, it'll have you looking hearty and hale (and most importantly, not washed out). Plus, thanks to the moisturizing core, it adds a dewy glow to your cheeks as well. Now, this isn't the longest-wearing formula, but it's so easy to reapply that it doesn't really matter.
