We are sure that if you’re still on lockdown, the last thing you want to hear about is stay-at-home makeup. And right about now you’re asking yourself who puts on makeup while staying at home?

But after the first few weeks of lockdown, most of us realized how extremely important it is to allocate some time towards self-care, develop a new hobby or skill, or partake in activities that will spark joy and guide us back to a normal state of mind. And yes, this includes mastering stay-at-home makeup ideas. After all, putting on makeup is a skill, isn’t it?

Keep yourself looking refreshed
Going makeup-free can feel extremely liberating, but on days when you want to look more put-together for an urgent video call or need to step outside the house to pick up some daily essentials, then a shimmer liquid eye shadow can serve as a quick-fix solution. The creamy liquid eye shadow instantly adheres to the lids and provides a brightening effect to the eyes and can stay put for up to 8 hours without smudging or creasing.
Get your creative mood on
Whether you prefer neutral stay-at-home makeup looks or fancy experimenting with more vibrant shades, it might be worth investing in an affordable and versatile eye shadow palette to spur your creativity and inspire you to create different looks every day. Also, just like painting on a canvas, playing with the different eye shadow colours is another therapeutic way to bring back the positivity in your life.

Pencil eyeliners come in different shades that can be used for different purposes to enhance the shape of your eyes. For example, dark brown and black shades can be used to line and define the eyes, while white will eliminate any redness from the waterline, brighten the eyes and make you look more well-rested.
