Our Editors Share Their Self-Isolation Makeup Routines

As beauty editors, we have an unconditional love for makeup. We pride ourselves in our extensive collection of volumizing mascaras and lipsticks (you can never have too many options), and we genuinely look forward to applying our makeup every morning. But as we’re all social distancing and our homes have become our new offices, we’ve been clinging to our bright red lipsticks and sparkling highlighters now more than ever before as a form of self-care. And we’ll be honest, most days we simply roll out of bed and go about the day without touching our face, but on the days we do decide to put in the extra effort, there’s no denying that it instantly makes us feel better. Here, check out our self-isolation makeup routines and feel free to copy them. 

Genesis, Assistant Editor

I love a light, fresh-faced makeup look a. While social distancing, though, I’ve truly embraced that no-makeup makeup look by skipping out on foundation altogether and using the Maybelline New York Super Stay Concealer to cover up any blemishes and lightly even out my skin tone. I follow it up by applying the Physicians Formula Spotlight Illuminating Primer on the highpoints of my face, which is a little untraditional, but I swear it offers a really soft, lit-from-within glow. To add some color and dimension to my face, I apply the Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick on my cheeks and eyelids. It’s an easy-to-blend, creamy formula that melts beautifully into my skin while adding a subtle, dewy finish. I finish off the look with my all-time favorite IT Cosmetics Lash Blow Out Mascara, and I instantly feel like a confident human who’s ready to take on the day.
