Doing my makeup in a moving car!

I thought I’d record myself doing my makeup while I was on my way to downtown last Friday. Travel time is usually 30 to 45 minutes from where I live. Instead of ~wasting~ my time on social media, this is what I did. Scroll down to see how doing my kilay (eyebrows) was a struggle. 😀

By the way, here’s the list of products I used in the video and where I got them from:
♡ Neutrogena SkinClearing liquid foundation // Shop here.
♡ Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Neutralizer // Shop here.
♡ Revlon PhotoReady Concealer
♡ Shisheido eyebrow liner
♡ ColourPop Ultra Matte liquid lipstick // Shop here.

Brushes used:

♡ Morphe M439 Deluxe Buffer // Shop here.
♡ Beauty sponge // from my recent Japan haul
♡ Real Techniques stippling brush // Shop here.
♡ Mary Kay eyeliner/eyebrow brush from the Mary Kay Brush Collection // Shop here.
♡ Portable LED lighted vanity mirror with 5x magnification // Shop here.
