Mondays. Traffic, work, and a whole lot of caffeine. We totally get being in a rush and not having enough time to do your makeup, or forgetting to apply your liner as you stumble out of the house. Just because the day is a drag doesn’t mean your makeup has to be. These 8 essentials keep us pampered, polished, shine-free, and refreshed at any point in the day. Take a look inside our work makeup bag!
