My Sephora double compact mineral foundation, R20. LOVE it. I don't look half asleep or dead, or splotchy, etc etc.
ETA--I actually did this today. Felt too down to even bother with makesup so just put on some base & went to work. Although I felt somewhat better after lunch, and dipped into my little stash of cheap but decent e.l.f. in my knitting bag for a bit of e/s & l/g.
Nthing Mascara! My fave at the moment is Rimmel Magnifeyes, especially when I use an eyelash curler. I can get away without brow stuff, blush and lippie (as long as I have a little balm for dryness) because I'm tanned but I look very blah without either a lash tint or mascara.
i'd say i'd go au natural
i only wear make up when i'm going out...
but, if i have to wear one item even when i'm going out or any special event,
benefit vip glosses (don't care about colour, i'llt ake what i'm given )
my lips get so dried, i need a non sticky lipgloss that has staying power
I'd pick CONCEALER or FOUNDATION so that I always had a flawless looking face. I don't mind my pretty green eyes or natural lip/cheek colors, so I certainly (if I had to only pick one) would go with the most important -- skin!
