Sick Day Essentials | TheMakeupDiaries

Hey guys! So today I stayed home from school today (feeling super sick) :( Anyways, during a sick day I wouldn't usually wear makeup however, I had to go somewhere and I was not going out today with a face makeupless especially cause I was feeling sick and was looking pale. So here's my sick day essentials!

• Vicks' Vapo Rub! A little rub on your tummy will make it feel a little better even though I'm not a big fan of the smell. 
• A box of tissues: A box of tissues is always a good idea when your sick.
• A candle: I like to take naps when I'm feeling sick and falling asleep to the aroma of a candle is so soothing! Today, I burned my favourite candle, Marshmallow Fireside from B&BW.
• A bunch of pillows and blankets: to keep you warm and to help you fall asleep.
• Fuzzy socks! They keep your toes warm :)

Now whenever I'm sick I usually don't like wearing makeup just because I'm only staying home but here are some makeup essentials for when your going out when you are sick!

• Moisturizer: You NEED to moisturize! Your skin probably feels super dead and lifeless. When your sick your skin feels very dry and moisturizing is super important!!! I use Simple's light moisturizer.
• Moisturize your lips: Moisturizing your face is very important but your lips are too. They can feel flaky and dry if not taken care of. I use just plain old vasaline.
• Skip the foundation! If necessary, just use concealer. Hide those under eye bags and conceal anything else you want too. Lean more to more liquidy concealers that are light so its moisturizing!
• Use tints! I like Cha Cha tint from Benefit because it gives me a very natural flush of colour on my cheeks. For some highlighter to add some colour onto my face as well, I like Sun beam from Benefit.
• Use a nude eyeliner! Nude eyeliner is not as harsh as white so it looks natural while still making you look more awake! It makes your eyes look open.
• Less is more: use a light hand with makeup and use less. So many days we wear more makeup than we need too, so just enjoy having a bare face today!
