A Simple Everyday Makeup Routine for Work, University and Daily Life
Sep 13, 2025 / By Abdulltef Aljifi / in Beauty Tools
With a busy day between work, university and errands, every woman needs a simple and quick makeup routine that keeps her looking fresh without taking too much time. The goal is not to use many products, but to choose the right essentials for your skin and apply them correctly. In this article from MaxStores Yemen, we share an easy everyday makeup routine you can do in just a few minutes.
1) Start with clean, moisturised skin Before any makeup, skincare comes first: - Wash your face with a cleanser suitable for your skin type (oily, dry or combination) - Use a light toner if you like - Apply a suitable moisturiser: oil-free for oily skin, richer cream for dry skin
The cleaner and more hydrated your skin is, the more natural and long-lasting your makeup will look.
2) Sunscreen is a must With the sunny weather in Yemen, sunscreen is essential: - Choose at least SPF 30 - Go for a light texture that doesn’t feel greasy - You can use a tinted sunscreen instead of a heavy foundation for daily use
This step protects your skin from dark spots and gives you a smooth base for makeup.
3) Light base: BB cream or light foundation For everyday makeup you don’t need full coverage: - Use a BB cream or a light-coverage foundation - Blend it with a slightly damp sponge or a soft brush for a natural finish - Apply mainly to the centre of the face and any areas that need evening out
The result is an even skin tone without a thick, heavy layer.
4) Concealer for specific areas only Use concealer where it is really needed: - Under the eyes to brighten dark circles - On small blemishes or marks
Gently tap it in with your fingertips or a small sponge until it blends with the base.
5) Light powder to set the makeup - Apply a thin layer of translucent or pressed powder on the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) - Leave the rest of the face without powder if your skin is normal or dry
This helps control shine, especially if you spend many hours outside.
6) Simple eye definition For a practical look that suits work and university: - Brush your brows and fix them with a clear gel or a natural-colour pencil - Use a beige or light brown eyeshadow over the lid - Finish with black mascara to add definition without clumping
You can add a very thin line of eyeliner if you like, but avoid heavy eye looks for every day.
7) Healthy cheeks - Apply a soft blush shade that suits your skin (rose or peach tones) - Sweep it lightly over the top of your cheeks towards the ears
A small touch of blush instantly makes the face look fresher and more awake.
8) Natural, hydrated lips - Start with a good lip balm - Add a nude, soft pink or light brown lipstick - A lip pencil close to your natural lip colour also works perfectly for a simple look
Keep bold, strong colours for special occasions unless they fit your work environment and personality.
9) Choose the right products from MaxStores At MaxStores Yemen you’ll find: - Light foundations and BB creams suitable for warm weather - Powders and concealers in shades that match most skin tones - Mascaras and brow products in natural colours - Everyday lipsticks and blushes in wearable shades
Choosing the right products saves you time and money and keeps your skin healthier while still looking beautiful and put together.
