The Weekly Question: You only have Time to Apply One Makeup Item (gasp!): What is it?

Every other Wednesday, the Metro Atlanta Beauty Bloggers will answer a beauty-related question just for fun! This week's question is...

Quick! You only have time to apply one makeup item before running out of the house.. What is it?

OMG! This would be my worst nightmare, lol!!! Believe me, I do whatever I can to do my makeup quickly. In a pinch, I could easily slap on even 3-5 items quickly. However, this is a fun hypothetical questions. So, if absolutely forced to chose *just one thing*, I would have to go with a concealer.

Why a concealer? Well, my #1 beauty "issue" is dark circles. I am absolutely plagued by deep and dark under eye circles. Honestly ya'll, they are so bad that I practically look like I have two black eyes! Why are they so bad? Well, I have dark circles because of allergies, lack of sleep, and hereditary. So, I am pretty much doomed to have them no matter what fabulous eye cream that I use (and even if I catch up on sleep). There is no question that erasing these with a great concealer has a major impact on my appearance. My love of makeup actually stems from the transformation that I feel when I cover up my dark circles.

If my dark circles were not as bad as they are, I would choose a tinted lip balm as my one item. My lips are pretty dry (especially this time of year). A lip balm is essential! I just can't even stand the feeling of dry lips! A tinted lip balm would give both moisture and color. So, tinted lip balm is a great choice! However, I almost always apply lip products on-the-go. So, even if I was running late. Chances are that a lip balm is already tucked into my purse and/or diaper bag.
