Get ready for a Zoom call with me! đť
The world is so different now than it was just at the beginning of the year, so much has changed in the last 6+ months. WFH has become the norm for so many and Zoom calls are so normal now!
But what do you do when you need to look presentable maybe for an interview or a work meeting but donât want to produce yourself so much since as soon as youâre done with it youâre just going to continue binging Netflix shows or playing on Mario Kart on your Switch? (Based on a true story lol). Well, you do the bare minimum and stick to my 5-product-10-minute-zoom call makeup routine!
It literally takes me 10 min to get this look done and feel like I look good enough to talk to people âşď¸
What I use:
âď¸ essence - Fresh & Fit Awake Primer this primer has a slight peachy tint that I feel is enough for me so that I donât have to go in with foundation or concealer! It also adds so much sheen that I skip highlighter but it blurs âimperfectionsâ at the same time, so it really does it all!
âď¸ Glossier. - Wowder Weightless Finishing Powder after I apply the primer I just touch up with powder on my trouble areas, like around my nose and under eyes and thatâs literally all it takes to further perfect my skin.
âď¸ UNDONE BEAUTY - LIP TO CHEEK 3-IN-1 CREAM PALETTE I love these palettes from Undone, theyâre so versatile and the colors are so pretty. My favorite lately has been this rosewood shade, looks so pretty on different skin tones and theyâre very affordable.
âď¸ wet n wild - Mega Length Mascara this is one of the best drugstore mascaras Iâve ever used. It lengthens, separates and lifts your lashes and can be easily built up for a more voluminous effect.
âď¸ touch in SOL - Fill Up Orange & Pink Parade Eyeshadow Palette this is the star of the show. I just got this palette in PR and Iâm already obsessed with it! I used it to define my eyes with a little wing and to blend everything together. Itâs beautiful.
And thatâs it! Presentable for all your Zoom calls đĽ°

Pore minimizing AND glowy?
Listen, this primer is GOOD.
It reminds me of the VDL fresh lumilayer primer, but at a much more cost effective price tag â¨
It adds so much luminosity to my skin, blurs âimperfectionsâ and is just fabulous overall, definitely one of the best primers Iâve tried including drugstore, high end, everything!
I donât notice a change in the longevity or wear of my makeup but it definitely preps the skin by adding so much glow and radiance, if youâre into that youâll definitely like this primer.
I included a photo of it swatched on my hand, the left side is just my bare skin, right is my skin with the primer. Last slide is how my makeup looks after a few hours of prepping my skin with this product đ

This drugstore foundation blew my mind!! It has an almost watery texture that is similar to a moisturizer/serum but it makes the skin look so naturally flawless!
I would say itâs light to medium coverage, it definitely is glow boosting/dewy but lasts all day!
Itâs really gorgeous on the skin. I love everything about it!! Especially the price.
I would highly recommend trying this! 10/10L'ORĂAL - Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation

Hereâs a dupe for the Anastasia foundation , does the same thing , same coverage , same finish , last all day đ

Charlotte Tilbury - Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder
If youâre looking for a powder that makes your skin look AMAZING in photos and video, this is the one for you. It also looks flawless in person!
It blurs out pores, smooths skin and keeps you matte (with a slight glow)! I use the shade Fair during winter and Medium during warmer months. Theyâre the perfect finishing powders for special occasions! I highly recommend to anyoneâ¨

NYX Full Coverage Concealer Jar- A Solid Staple
I think this is a pretty good dupe for NARS soft matte concealer. The coverage is pretty good but I would call it closer to medium than full. I use this over blemishes rather than under eyes because itâs not as creamy as Iâd like so it does crease a bit, but the pot is convenient and it doesnât budge during the day at all! I use this concealer every day with a dry oil underneath as my final skincare step to increase the spreadability and dewiness.
Full coverage concealer
This concealer is great! If you are looking for a full coverage concealer that is veryyyyy similar to shape tape this is for you!!!
The texture is thick and creamy and blends out perfectly to conceal imperfections.
I would definitely recommend. It is amazing quality for the drugstore and it completely blew my mind! L'ORĂAL - L'Oreal Paris Infallible More Than Concealer 10ml
