Beginning on a makeup journey, I decided to put my makeup to the ultimate test — a 12-hour journey through the hustle and bustle of daily life. I chose products that promised longevity and comfort to achieve a minimal yet polished everyday look.
I laid the foundation for a makeup marathon, starting with a lightweight hydrating primer. The long-lasting formula became my canvas, providing a natural, dewy glow that effortlessly blended into my skin. I opted for neutral tones on the eyes, a subtle shimmer to brighten, and a flick of mascara for an awakened gaze.
The true challenge lay in the wearability of my minimal masterpiece. As I faced work demands, meetings, and a spontaneous coffee date, my makeup endured gracefully. The minimalistic approach felt weightless and remained intact, showcasing its steadfast determination against the hands of time.
Lunch meetings, afternoon errands, and a surprise gym session became the battleground for my makeup’s resilience. With every passing hour, I marvelled at the staying power of my chosen products. The matte lipstick held its ground, proving that simplicity can be long-lasting.
