We've all been there, in fact this scenerio happens more often than we like. The day before you had plans to exercise your makeup creativity with your gorgeous eyeshadow palettes, liquid liners, blushes, colorful makeup and liquid lipsticks. Come morning you turned off the alarm, grabbed your breakfast, got dressed and then realized you were running late so the creativity got tossed aside in favour of looking presentable and having a full face done on time to get out the door. What brands and specific items do you consistently default to? And why did you choose those particular items/brands?
For a full face for me it's my:
- Napoleon Auto Pilot Primer
Why?: Make up stays on really well and it applies smoothly and doesn't feel heavy on my skin suits my skin when I have breakouts or when it's more dry. I seriously dread the day I run out.
- Kat Von D Shade and Light Eye Contour Palette
Why?: This eyeshadow stays put longer than any other eyeshadow I own, it's very pigmented, full of those neutral shades I need to put together a good eye makeup look and I can get a complete matte eye look which I like atm out of that one palette.
- Hourglass Ambient Edit Palette or Hourglass Ambient Wardrobe
Why?: I prefer the first one because it has face powder, bronzer, blush and highlight all in one. Hourglass is one of those brands that you don't easily over apply and mess it up and it looks so gorgeous and seemless on my skin and has the most beautiful, elegant glow. Alternatively I will grab the second palette sometimes but I do prefer the first.
- Eye of Hourus Brow Perfect
Why?: Two in one product with the pencil and the brow gel. It's quicker for filling in my brows that the ultimate brow define. I just use a spoolie to sort of blend the color through my brows and it's more time efficient than penciling in all the individual hairs.
- RT Flawless Foundation Brush or Expert Face
Why?: Depends on what I feel like on the day the Flawless Foundation is great for when I want a bit more coverage. The Expect Face is good for when I want to just buff away and deal with less streaks.
- Mac Twig Lipstick
Why?: Fave nude atm the moment looks really pretty and lasts for several hours. Nude color can go with any makeup look and it's fuss free application. Plus if I apply, blot, reapply, blot, reapply and powder I can get like five hours of wear provided I don't eat. Plus it feel comfortable on my lips. And if I forgot to exfoliate my lipst it's not too bad in application unlike some other lipsticks.
So what items of which brands, do you consistently reach for when you're in a hurry and need a full face of makeup that day and why?

eyes: either sin, bordello, tornado and baked cowboy from the UD Shadowbox or the two teal shades from KVD metal matte, with black eyeliner, smudged over with tornado for the first look or blue for the second, no liquid eyeliner, but black mascara
lips: Australis Velourlips in Lun-dun or Ma-li-boo, or an NYX butter gloss.

Other items I grab for a full face just because I need them for a full face are my Bobbi Brown foundation, eye primer, whatever liquid liner I have at the moment (because I will not leave the house without liquid liner on), concealor, whichever eye brushes I fancy that day and whatever other face brushes I want to use to apply my face powder, blush, bronzer and hightlight and sometimes my Elf exfoliator for my lips.
Actually lately I have been grabbing my Urban Decay Roller Girl palette since it's full of metalics and I use the shade Verve (light silvery shimmer) as a highlight to go with my matte eyemakeup.

I always go for fast application:
1.Setting spray-Avon
2. Foundation- Maybelline ( Haven't found perfect one yet)
3. Eye liner - Sante (still haven't found one that doesn't fade)
4. Brows Loreal brow artist
5. Normally nyx butter gloss but I lost it at motat.
6. Mascara - Benefit they're real bottom lashes, maybelline top lash
7. Loreal precious oil Spray in hair up in bun. Haven't got time for straightening.
8. I always end with a spray of perfume over my body and clothes.

I skip the primer if I'm in a hurry and apply the lipstick on the way. I apply foundation, powder, blush, bronzer (and highlighter if there is time), use a grey metallic eyeshadow, black eyeliner and mascara and race my brow plumper through my brows. If time I'll then apply usually a pink or red lipstick, otherwise it will get applied before I walk in to where I'm going. Where I make up the most time is by doing a much more basic eyeshadow than usual. Productwise, the brands change, but the type of product usually stays the same.
I use sunscreen always by Mecca
Primer always dependant on my preference of which one I use.
Then I like to use a cc cream (It Cosmetics) if in hurry but skip contour for just bronzing and use the bronzer as my eyeshadow combined with blush & highlight for my lid & inner tear duct. Benefit hi brow for my waterline it's very brightening
So the bonzer I almost if not always use in my lid for crease is the Too Faced dual bronzer Idk the name as I've taken the pan out of the book of bronzers but it has a deep shade with shimmer with a matte light shade,
the lids dependant on the blush then thats what I apply to my lid, or I've been using the pink leapord bronzer on my lids as its a nice by Too Faced bronzing/highlight/blush gives a nice sheen & keeps my lids looking nice but natural.
I'll always do my brows with ABH brow definer & will set it my the new formulated Benefit gimme brow.
Lips will be a matte lip cream or a cream matte lipstick & apply a lip topper or gloss to the middle.
I set my face with a combo of Austrails banana powder & air spun powder & mascara is Tarte Lights , camera, flashes with Maybelline setting spray to end the look. Also highlight is Becca rose gold on my cheekbones.
Also I'll apply with my bblender & use a combo of morphe , RT & IT cosmetics brushes to apply powder products. This is my fast track fast skipping out shadows for my lids in place of face products. I can get ready like this in 15mins

I'm somehow always running late, so my makeup is almost always done in a rush. But on the bright side I've gotten really quick and can do it all in about 5min! Here's what I use in order
-Natio sunscreen
-Smashbox pore minimising primer (only on my t-zone)
-loreal nude cushion foundation all over
-Marc Jacobs foundation on eyebags and any red patches
-nyx brow pencil
-skinfood transluscent powder
-diorshow extase mascara
-curl mascara with heated curler
-liptint/tinted balm
-And maybe highlight or blush if I feel like it.
Because I go for a more natural, no makeup look I usually don't wear eyeshadow and contour unless I have lots of time to play around.
