5 Minute Face

June 6, 2018 /

5 Minute Makeup

During the week I’m rushing around in the morning – getting myself ready, getting Margot ready, and rushing out the door. I usually try to throw a load of laundry in and get something started in the slow cooker so we have dinner when we get home, too. So obviously I don’t have a ton of time to do my makeup in the morning. This is my every day makeup and only takes me about 5 minutes and then I’m out the door!

5 Minute Makeup Routine

Of course I always start with a clean, moisturized face and make sure I have on my sunscreen, and my go-to Olehenriksen Banana Bright eye cream.

First I apply my Becca Undereye Brightening Corrector with a concealer brush and tap it in.

While that sets in I apply Benefit High Beam to my cheek bones, above my brow bones, down the bridge of my nose, the cupid’s bow of my top lip, and the center of my chin. I like a glowy, natural look for work and this gives me a lit-from-within glow.

I conceal my under eyes with It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under-Eye in shade light with a damp Beauty Blender. This hides my dark circles without drying, creasing, or caking my under eye area. A little goes a long way! Only use a dot on the tip of your Beauty Blender!

Instead of foundation I just use a little concealer where I need it. I apply Bareminerals Bareskin Concealer in fair to the corners of my nose, the corners of my mouth, down the bridge of my nose, and in a little star shape between my brows. I use the fair shade so that it brightens up these areas. Blend with the damp Beauty Blender.

For my brows I love Glossier Boy Brow in blonde. It lightly fills in and holds my brows in place.

Next I set with Honest Beauty Invisible Blurring Powder with a Bobbi Brown face brush. I swirl the brush in the powder, tap off the excess, and lightly stipple the powder over my face, and then blend.

For my shadow I use the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette and apply with an Ecotools double ended brush. I use the blender brush with the shade Primal on my lid and crease and then use the liner side of the brush with the shade Undone to line my upper and lower lash lines.

For blush I like to use a cream blush for this look. It’s quick and easy and looks dewy and natural. I am currently using RMS Lip2Cheek in Demure.

Next I do mascara. I have lash extensions (worth every penny!) so I don’t need anything on top, but I do use Covergirl Clump Crusher Waterproof on my bottom lashes.

Lastly I finish off with a swipe of lipstick. Currently loving Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk – a perfect pinky nude!

I hope this helps you get ready quickly in the morning! Leave me your questions and comments below! Or if you have any product recommendations you think I’d like – I always love that!
