How do you wear makeup with a motorcycle helmet?
The YouTube beauty queens say you need 55 products – and about 2 hours – to get ready for a motorcycle ride.
Are they kidding?
Who has time for that? Not me!
And probably not you, either, right?
Motorcycle helmet makeup should be light, fast and simple. When you do it right, it takes no more than 5 minutes. Starting with non-greasy moisturizer and sunscreen, you move on to 30 seconds of eyeliner, a coat of mascara, light foundation and a swipe of moisturizing lipstick. Done. So easy! Pull on your leather jacket, and you’re ready to ride.
Google “motorcycle helmet makeup,” and you get 2 kinds of results.
First, you’ll see that the topic appears on motorcycle forums.
Women ask for advice on how to wear makeup on a bike.
Guess who answers them?
Usually men.
They say things like:
You don’t need it, darlin’ – just go natural!
Hmm. That’s sweet.
But not really that helpful.
And also not even slightly realistic.
Clearly, these men have not seen me first thing in the morning.
So what other kind of help is out there?
