This is literally my go-to face.
When I'm on my way to school, the boyfriend's house (sometimes; he usually prefers me au naturale), (ex)work, etc etc, the only time for me to actually get ready is on transit (bus, subway) ..so THIS. IS. IT!!!! ....though I totally don't advise you guys to do make-up on-the-go. Totally dangerous. If I wasn't so awesome, I could've poked my eye out (I'm almost always 87% there). Mind you, my travel time usually takes 45 mins to an hour since my school is downtown and my boyfriend lives in a different city, so I get a little bored and maybe a little overboard with this routine.
Let me assure you - all those extra steps are going to be helpful. I know it might be a little too much for everyday use? ..but since I don't actually go OUT every single day, my face gets ample time to breathe. My face is acne prone and I have lots of redness/discoloration from scarring and ...I'm guessing just hormones?... so I'm definitely not perfect.
