    Basic daily makeup - quick/easy/light

    Would you consider getting your lashes tinted? Then the nice definition of mascara but no smudges. Or try a tubing mascara - washes off with water but the way the mascara works (coats around each lash like a tube) means it won't smudge. Loreal Beauty Tubes is one, and Blinc and Becca do them too.

    Re lips, sure go a gloss. Or you could try a tinted balm- like something from Korres or Burt's Bees. They both do nice natural options. You can also dab a bit of colour onto your cheeks as a cream blush.

    There are a few liquid mineral foundations out there if you get annoyed by the powder one. Like Inika, Jane Iredale or Nude by Nature. Or you could go a tinted moist/tinted sunscreen, I like Invisible Zinc, Nars (pricey but great) or Laura Mercier. Not sure how natural you like your products to be- the latter two have some chemical sunscreens, the IZ is just zinc as the sunscreen.

    I would get brows and lashes tinted, use a BB cream, cream blush (much easier than powder and a more natural finish) and finish with a lip gloss!
