Making Up on the Run

I consider myself a pro at doing my makeup in the car. It's an acquired skill, and one I've perfected over the years, although I have had my share of mishaps. It takes dexterity, the ability to multitask (it's a good thing men don't wear makeup!) and, of course, the right products. This is what you need:
1. Stick foundation or creme to powder foundation compacts are ideal because they're spillproof. You can stroke the color on as you're driving, and then blend it when you stop at a light. I've also attempted to apply mineral powder foundation while driving, which works, although it can get messy. Neutrogena's Mineral Sheers has the color in the brush, which would be ideal, except that it doesn't work all that well. Tonight, I attempted to apply my Bare Escentuals foundation while driving, but couldn't find my kabuki brush. I looked and looked, through three whole lights. Then, I made a sudden turn and my makeup bag (the Benefit bag with Luscious Lana on the top - love its retro style) slid onto the floor, upside down, its contents strewn everywhere. There the brush was, in the far corner on the passenger side, out of my reach. I should have brought my Colorescience is much more user friendly - ideal for making up on the run. It's got the color in the brush, but unlike the Neutrogena version, it works beautifully!
2. Blush is easy to apply in the car, especially if you have a lighted makeup mirror, so that you can see how much you apply.
3. Finish with mascara and lipstick. Keep it simple. If you want a little more eye makeup, keep it to one color swept over the entire lid. This isn't the time for anything elaborate!
