Quick 5 minute makeup routine for those in a hurry. Plus, how to cut your makeup routine in half.

FACE

Keep in mind when doing a 5-minute makeup routine, you want to focus on features that are a priority to you. For example, concealer is a must for me but the foundation is not. So, usually, I start off with my concealer. I use this one by Tarte and literally just put one dot under both eyes. Then I set it with a powder. I’ll also use that same powder to set the rest of my face with a big fluffy brush. My last priority for the face is bronzer. It’s definitely not always a priority, especially if I run out of time. But if I can, I use this bronzer and bronze my cheeks, temples, and jawline. I only prioritize it sometimes because it gives my face dimension and color.

EYEBROWS

I always prioritize my eyebrows because they’re basically non-existent. I love multiple-use products and this Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pencil comes with a spoolie. This makes my life so much easier because I can just turn it around and brush out my brows! I quickly just fill in my brows to make them look darker than are. Brows frame your face, so they are a must.

EYES

I definitely do not use eyeshadow but I do quickly put bronzer into my crease and under my lash line. This defines my eyes and makes them stand out a bit more than without it. To make sure they do stand out I will sometimes add mascara to just the top lashes. Doing this makes my eyes look bigger.

LIPS

If I’m in a rush I’ll just put on chapstick, but if I’m looking dead and pale, a little bit of lipstick helps brighten up the face and adds some color. This one is the same color as my lips but a little bit brighter. It’s a satin finish that makes your lips look fuller.

If I literally only had time for one thing, I would choose to wear concealer ( i have the worst under eye circles!) 

 

If you could only choose one makeup product to wear, what would you choose? ?

Until next time,

  2. Great tips to keep it quick and easy when you’re getting ready to head out! If I am going for a ‘natural’ look, I still feel like I need my mascara before I walk out the door lol So, that would be my one item

  4. Such great tips, to be fair I do this quite regular on the morning on my way to work as I’m always running late. I definitely couldn’t live without concealer and mascara, my two faves. Oh and lipstick ?

    1. See, I hardly ever use concealer! I only use it if I have a spot or some redness I want covering up.

      If I could choose only one product? Either eyeliner or brows.

      Bb cream, brow pencil, eye liner and lippie are a must for me! Bronzer and highlighter if I have time.

    1. I love using a shade that’s almost the same color as my lips but brighter so it makes me look more awake!

  19. If I had to do only one product, I would definitely go with eyebrows! I just feel like they define the whole face, and can add so much expression! Love this pretty look x
