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? ?

Yay! Great post! Lots of good tips and ideas!
thank you! ☺️
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
Mascara opens the eyes so much! Totally agree with you ☺️
Chapstick is my go to product. I like using tinted chapstick so I can some color.
So true to focus on the main features of the face when doing a quick make up!
Exactly! It’s a nice little enhancement (:
I used to use the Maybelline tinted lip balms ALL THE TIME! Loved them!
So great and quick! Those are some great product choices.

These are honestly my ride or die products!
This is great because I di a kit if what you said. Sometimes I only do my eyebrows and lips. Great post!
thank you! (:
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 ?
SAME! They make such a difference!
I can never do a 5-minute lol, I spend like at least 30 minutes, but I should try what you’ve just shared here – might help! Thanks

I love spending time doing my makeup, but when I’m in a rush this is my go-to routine!
I would pick eyeliner because it brightens up my eyes.
oh love that! (:
That was quick read and 5 minutues of applying makeup. Simple and easy i like it!
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.

Love focusing on main features! Highlight and bronzer are like extras (:
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been looking into using makeup again. I stopped when I had kids because my priority is getting them ready, but I’m definitely going to use this!!
Yay! So glad this helped you (:
I love quick routines especially when I have to rush out unexpectedly.
Love the makeup, simple and beautiful !
great tips, thanks for sharing !
thank you (:
this is going to be so helpful when i have my 3rd baby in about a week! Thank you!
Congrats on your baby! I’m so happy this will help you (:
A 5 minute makeup routine is totally my style. At this point in my life I don’t think I could spend anymore time than that on it and really it’s all I need to feel ready to face the day! Love your look!
I feel the same way! Less is better (:
Great natural look! I use the BOOMstick trio from Cindy Jacob and it only takes me a couple of minutes every day.
Yes, love a fast routine! (:
wow I love this look!
thank you!
Love this! Great tips and resources. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to your future posts and ideas to make grooming simple.
That makes me so happy! Thank you ☺️
I love that Tarte concealer and Anastasia’s brow pencils! It looks like you have a great quick routine down!
the Tarte concealer is the best I’ve tried so far!
Definitively a lippie! My lips are not very pigmented at all.

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