After a whole day at work, your face could potentially be in a high-shine state with all that excess sebum produced. Naturally, you’ll opt for a blotting powder, which Ikkee suggests to double up as a finishing powder. That way, you can have the best of both worlds without weighing down your makeup pouch.

Now here’s the tricky moving-vehicle-eyeliner situation. To avoid all of that, bring along your eye contour cream. This can help in erasing any liner or mascara mistakes you make when you’re in a moving vehicle. How? Simply by dabbing some onto a cotton bud before swiping the affected area.

Bonus: Instead of wiping off any of your under-eye concealer, you’re smoothening it out for a satin finish.

“With a simple stroke, you instantly elevate your look by defining your cheekbones,” Ikkee advises. We know, there’s just not enough time for you to dish out your contour kit and brushes to elegantly sculpt your face.

So, try a duo contour stick where you get to precisely draw a line along the areas where you wish to contour before blending it out with your fingers. Then, finish the look by highlighting the highest points of the face and you’re sorted. Fast, effective and super portable.

If you have the time to create a smoky-eyed look, bring along a palette with you. If not, simply dab on a little bronze eyeshadow and deepen the crease line to create a more deep set pair of eyes.

“Using a glitter liner will instantly make your eyes pop. It is very versatile; you can use it brighten your lower lash line or simply use it as a regular liner.” For a more natural finish, Ikkee recommends a soft pink glitter for the lower lash line.
