#5. Be OK with less (sometimes)
We love make-up – we really do. It has the power to immediately make us feel comfortable, confident, and ready for anything this crazy thing called life throws our way. But we also know there will be days when we just don’t feel like going through the whole process of a beauty routine, and that’s A-OK too. On days like these, when we’re feeling a bit ‘meh’ (and just need an extra 20 minutes in bed), sometimes all you need is a trusty, and brilliant, lip balm. “NARS’ Afterglow balms are the best for the tiniest hint of a lip colour,” says Selfridges Fashion and Accessories Editor Alicia Walters. “They’re so hydrating, too. And, if later on in the day I feel like I need something extra, I dab a little onto the apple of my cheeks for a bit of blush. Great for almost no-make-up days.”
