Back-to-Routine Beauty – Simplify for September

With September just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to ease back into your routine—and that includes your beauty habits. Whether you're heading back to work, school, or just craving some structure after a laid-back summer, a streamlined makeup routine can help you step into the season feeling fresh and confident.

Your everyday routine doesn’t have to be complicated—just consistent. A few great tools can go a long way.

The Trick: A Simple, Polished Everyday Routine

Tip 1: Focus on the Features That Matter Most
You don’t need a full face every day. Focus on two or three areas—like skin, brows, and lashes—for a clean, refreshed look without the fuss.

Tip 2: Use Tools That Truly Pull Their Weight
Multitasking brushes save time and space—especially in rushed mornings. We’ve rounded up a few that work overtime, no matter your routine:

• 950 Foundation Brush
  Not just for foundation! This flat, dense brush can also apply cream blush or liquid bronzer and is great for smoothing product down the neck or chest when needed.

• 776 Blending Brush
  It’s more than just an eyeshadow brush. Use it to blend shadow in the crease, set under-eye concealer, diffuse harsh contour lines, or apply highlight to small areas like the nose or brow bone.

• 730 Bent Lash Brush
  Small, firm, and angled—this brush gives you precision for grooming brows with wax or powder, and can double as a liner brush for sharp definition along the lash line.

• 944 Tapered Contour
  Designed for contour—but its softly tapered shape makes it perfect for buffing out cream blush, soft highlighter, or even cleaning up edges around the nose or under the eyes.

Tip 3: Stick to a Routine That Works for You
Once you’ve got a 5-minute system down, getting ready becomes automatic. Keep your core brushes accessible and rotate in seasonal faves when you’re in the mood to switch things up.

Why It Works: When your brushes do more, you can do less—and still look great. A simplified routine means less decision fatigue and more time enjoying your morning.
