Why You Need a Five Minute Routine.
Let’s be open. There are confident days when it’s so wild that you don’t even have time for makeup. However, that shouldn’t prevent you from achieving your ideal look in record time. Actually, it’s easier than you think with a few basic steps and a handful of products to create a fast and simple five minute natural look for any day. You’ll be done before you know it.
Step 1: Get Your Skin Ready.
First, start with clean skin that is oiled. If you’re in a time head, a two-in-one cream with SPF will kill two birds with one stone. Next, take your base or BB cream in the chosen color and apply a sheer layer across the entire face with fingers or a makeup scraper; the scraper will allow for better mixing and a more natural arrival.
Step 2: Define Your Brows.
Brows are critical for framing your face, and they make you look put together in seconds. A brow pencil or powder is the ideal choice for a natural, blended appearance since it fills in gaps with a light hand—your brows should never appear cakey. If you’re in a time crunch, a tinted brow gel is an excellent option for locking brows in place, as it tints and sets without much need for detailed application.
Step 3: Add a Little Colour.
A little blush on your cheeks takes you from drab to fab in no time, literally apply to the apples of your cheeks for an effortless refreshed look. Go for light pink or peach for a natural, dewy glow. If you have one minute extra to spare in your makeup application, nude eyeshadow across the eyelids never hurt.
Step 4: Top It Off With Some Eye and Lip Makeup.
Apply mascara to your lashes. A coat of mascara on the upper lashes will brighten your eyes. For lips, go for a tinted lip balm or a sheer lipstick close to the colour of your lips.
Final Touches.
In addition to a five-minute face, if you have more time, I suggest also using a setting spray so your face stays on all day, and you’re good to go! That was a five-minute face!
