MAC concealer under eyes and any blemishes
Revlon Colorstay foundation on the lower half of my face to even out redness
Some cheap CG powder to set everything (should use better quality powder probably)

It seems like a lot typed out but only takes me 10 minutes.
ITA. I feel so much prettier & confident on the days that I take the time (10 minutes) to do my makeup & when I do my hair. I look SO much better.
Ex. - Yesterday I kinda hustled getting ready because I was running late. Therefore, my makeup routine suffered. A male CW told me I looked run down. How sweet of him.

Blush
Eyeshadow

If I'm going out to something "special" then I'll throw on some eyeliner and I'll throw some loose powder over any trouble spots if need be.
Like what? I think most of us would be happy to explain.
Mineral Veil
On a related note, if you turn pink very easily you should skip blush, right? I think prom and my wedding would be the only 2 times I've ever used blush.
Primer creates a smooth layer on your skin beneath foundation. It really helps me because I have some drier patches due to acne treatment. I use Monistat's Anti-Chaffing Gel because its essentially the same thing as Smashbox's, but significantly cheaper.
In lieu of blush, I'd use a product like Benefit's High Beam over my cheeks to highlight them.

It's hard for me to feel motivated to do too much face/hair when I'm wearing scrubs that make me look like an inmate. If I wear real clothes I will use brow highlighter, eye shadows, and lip gloss as well.

Wow, now that I typed that out, it seems like I wear a lot but everyone always tells me that my makeup looks natural (I don't like the caked on look). All in all, it takes me about 15 minutes to put it all on.

I'm using Mary Kay as far as face wash and moisturizer go right now because my friend gets it to me for cheap. It works, my face feels fine.

I need to get a better make up plan going. I'm not in love with anything in my make-up bag right now.
