Simple Makeup
Think about a weekend where you are only allowed to use two makeup/beauty products for the entire weekend, day and night. How hard would it be to choose the best product for a simple makeup?
My Choices for a Simple Makeup
Primers, foundations, mascaras, lipsticks and so on... There are many makeup products that most of us use on a daily bases. What if we are asked to do a challenge? What if we must go a whole weekend with just two makeup products. I think it would be a tough one...
I guess I will be going with mascara and the lipstick. Mascara is a life saver when you want to hide how tired you look. Applying couple of layers of mascara would give a really nice look. So for this occasion I would want my lashes to look full and I would go for a mascara that would give a nice volume and curls like my favourite mascara Seventeen Doll’d Up Mascara. If you'd like to read more about this mascara please visit my post Favourite Mascara. Then a pretty lipstick so that people won’t be paying much attention on the face. Maybe picking a shade which can be used like blusher as well wouldn't be a problem, as I talked about in my post L'Oréal Rouge Caresse Lipstick, I like orange/coral shades for summer. I also think that these shades of blushers look gorgeous for these months. Therefore I would pick lipstick with these shades. If you are brave enough you can use it as an eye shadow too.
These are my choices for a simple makeup, what would your choice be? Think wisely as you are only limited to two...

I've been opting for a super simple look recently, so I have really cut down on the amount I am putting on my face, mainly to help my epic breakouts recently! I would opt for Mascara, cause lets face it eyes look odd without it, I like how it opens up your face and really draws attention away from other areas... second would be a concealer. One to use over said spots and hide the circles. :) http://www.makeerinover.blogspot.com
Breakouts... I've been dealing with them recently however now it is luckily getting better. Agree with you on mascara, eyes look naked without it :) Concealer is a good pick xx
I think I'd probably go for an eyebrow pencil and lipstick; it's what I've been doing anyway, haha. I'm extremely pedantic when it comes to my brows so I can never neglect that, and I find a good lipstick does as a good a job at awakening a face!

Lipstick always do a great job xx
I just pop on a bit of mascara and bronzer if i'm having a simple makeup day! I always feel lipstick doesn't suit me unless I'm wearing foundation! http://www.onthehs.blogspot.co.uk
I like wearing bronzer with/without foundation, it just brightens up the face. xx
Happy weekend! Maybe we could affiliate? <3 Follow me = follow back Isabelle. http://modellabella.ml NEW POST
Thank you. Have a great weekend x
I think I would put some concealer and something in my brows as well ! Mascara makes my eyes darker if I don't have any concealer or foundation on and I feel like my brows frame both my eyes and my face. https://fannyanddailybeauty.wordpress.com
Luckily I don't have that problem with mascara, it only happens if I wear it for so long.
this is my perfect "i haven't made an effort but i still look" the red lip really makes it look like you've made effort! great pos! enjoy your evening! http://acelittleblog.blogspot.com
Definitely... Thank you x
Absolutely love the post and yes love wearing bronzer and mascara with some nice lip color! Adi xx www.fancycorrectitude.com
Thank you :) x
Love this post! Mine pick would be blush to define my high cheek bones and mascara to make my eyes pop! Sarah xxoxo http://couturegal.com
Great picks. Thank you xx
It will be a very sad day if I was only allowed to use two makeup products, but I can see why you chose these two. Mascara is perfect for opening your eyes and making you look awake, whilst lipstick is a great multi tasking product x <a href="http://www.beautywithcharm.com" rel="nofollow">Beauty with charm</a>
Indeed... It will be sad day for most of us :) xx
Ah.. if there's a challenge like that, it's going to feel like the end of the world lol.. But no, I think I'd prefer having a mascara and lip balm hihi.. Can't live a day without a lip balm :) xoxo Jhem | <a href="http://jhemsays.com" rel="nofollow">JhemSays.com</a>
Ha ha yeah :) Great picks xox
This would be so difficult however if I had to pick two I think i'd go with mascara and the urban decay powder! www.emilyy.co.uk
It would definitely be difficult x
I love posts like this and simple is always better in my opinion! If I had to choose it would be mascara and concealer! :) Layla xx http://www.sprinklesofstyle.co.uk
Mascara is always a great pick :) xxx

haha good ones :) x
I'd find it so hard to stick to two products only! But if I had no choice I would probably go with concealer and lipstick. I could use the concealer as foundation where I need it and the lipstick as a blusher too like you said. If i use eyelash curlers for the lashes technically that's not a makeup product so the eyes would be sorted too!! xx <a href="http://www.franklyflawless.com" rel="nofollow">franklyflawless.com</a>
Concealer and lipstick are good for multitasking. with just these two simple makeup is ready :) xx
Lovely. Would love it if you could check out my newly launched Holiday Style Diary! Kisses xo |<a href="http://fromalionawithlove.com" rel="nofollow"> From Aliona With Love </a>

Mascara and red lipstick would be my choice too, but it would hurt to leave Concealer behind. <a href="http://www.lindalibraloca.com/" rel="nofollow">Linda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking</a>
Ah yeah especially if you had a bad night without proper sleep however I believe red lips would take the attention :)
That´s what I would count on, too.
So with you on this, I'd maybe add a touch of concealer too but mascara and lippie will always be essentials :) Elle www.theellenextdoor.com xx

Red lipstick and a great dewy foundation...hide the rest of my face behind a giant pair of shades :) xo Sheree http://poshclassymom.com IG: @poshclassymom
Ha ha definitely :) xx
I think I would take Powder foundation and mascara! Maybe trade the mascara for a lip color! XO Maariasan.com
Good ones xx
I haven't thought of that but I guess it will be.. bbcream and eyeliner.
BB Cream is a great life saver x
Concealer and a blush/lip colour hybrid! Gotta love those. Though I'd love to ditch the concealer, I'm farrrr too spotty without it, and even leaving behind the tinted moisturizer/foundation is a bit of a stretch!
Luckily my skin is doing ok at the moment, otherwise I would definitely go for concealer instead of lipstick x
that's so tough! i think i would go for concealer and mascara :) www.avecdanielle.com
Yeah that's a tough one :) They are good picks x
OMG that's insane to even think about haha, I would most definitely go with mascara and lip/cheek stain thingamajig :) Sam || <a href="http://www.beautydetour.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Beautydetour</a>
haha insane right? :) Would be a such a challenging day xx
I can't live without under eye concealer,so if I could only have one other thing it would be a lip product I guess, a bright one to distract from the rest my face lol!
Ha ha, it would definitely be a really tough weekend with just two products :) xx
