With our summer holidays over and online education back in full swing, what better than a quick morning makeover to help mask the effects of the night before. We’ve put together some simple steps for a back to Zoom makeup routine to help make sure you’re looking top of the class on your virtual lectures.
Prep and prime

Chose a hydrating moisturiser such as the Murad Clarifying Oil-Free Water Gel to restore balance to your skin. The gel-like texture glides and absorbs fast making it even quicker to touch up your appearance in the mornings. Once your skin is feeling fresh and nourished take a primer to help keep your makeup in place. MAC strobe cream contains iridescent pearls to help create a natural healthy-looking glow whilst this works in Transit Camera Close-Up contains a boost of caffeine to erase signs of fatigue and make your skin look radiant.
