As simple as it sounds, a little shimmer and shine can go a long way when you want to look fresh-faced and radiant in a flash.
I had this “Aha!” moment last weekend when I was getting ready to meet pals in the city for brunch.

I woke up late (purr usual) that morning, even with the extra hour from Daylight savings (apparently, I need more sleep than a fairytale character), and I had less than 10 minutes to put on ye olde warpaint.
I grabbed Josie Maran’s new winter dreams Argan color Collection ($34).
Every nifty nibble in this five-piece set contains Argan oil, the moisturizing magic ingredient in Josie’s makeup that’s supposed to make lines and wrinkles look less obvious.
The set includes…
A 0.17-oz. tube of Argan Black Oil Mascara
A 0.16-oz. tube of Argan Infinity Lip and Cheek Creamy Oil in limitless Pink
A 0.16-oz. bottle of Coconut Watercolor Eyeshadow in Rio de rose Gold
A 0.15-oz. bottle of Argan Illuminizer
A 0.5-oz. bottle of 100% Pure Argan Oil Light
I hadn’t washed my makeup brushes since the last time I’d used them, so I ended up doing everything from start to finish using just my fingers. By the time I was done, I felt like I still looked like myself (I don’t like to wear a ton of makeup to Sunday brunch), but perkier…and more luminous, LOL! In other words, less likely to scowl at strangers on the street before I’ve had any coffee.

It was the shimmer and shine… They were responsible. The products all have differing levels, from the pearly finish of the eyeshadow to the glossy finish of the mascara. They tag-team to brighten eyes, while the sheen from the Pure Argan Oil Light (which I used all over my face as a moisturizer), the luster of the Lip and Cheek Creamy Oil and the shimmery Argan Illuminizer add a healthy glow to your skin, cheeks and lips.
Best of all, the pieces really work well together. That helps when you need to put together a look quickly.
The only things I used that didn’t come with the set are brow filler and under-eye concealer.
I’m thinking of making this my go-to brunch look (Is that a thing? Why not, right?), because I got a couple of compliments at brunch from dudes who know absolutely nothing about makeup, and that was before the mimosas kicked in.

MAKEUP and beauty blog RATING: A- (I only wish the mascara looked a little more drag queen and a little less au naturel, but that’s a personal preference)
