Five Minute Makeup

I love makeup. If it was up to me I would spend 30+ mins on my makeup a day, blending, highlighting and creating awesome. Realistically, that’s not possible, when you’re rushing, fitting in that workout and packing up some healthy food for the day, you need fast!

Here is my five minute makeup routine for you!

To start, here is my scary, non makeup face.

I start by moisturizing. My favorite is neutrogena sensitive skin. I’ve used it for years, affordable and great!

Then I apply a primer. My favorite MAC prep and prime.

Next is foundation. I’m a huge MAC fan, most of my products are MAC, this is their pro long wear line. I put dots around around the center of my face and spread with my fingers. You can use a brush, I just prefer my hands.

Next, concealer. Again, MAC pro long wear. I apply this under my eyes, around my mouth and on any blemishes.

Then I apply a powder to seal the deal. I use Makeup Forever high definition powder.
Since I’m going for fast, I am only applying paint pot to my eyelids. Typically, I always use this as a base, but it works just as well on its own. I use Soft Ochre because of my olive skin tone. Painterly works well also.

Then I line the top waterline with a waterproof gel pencil. This cheapie from rimmel works just fine.

Then I fill in my eyebrows with a dark brown shadow and a liner brush.

Add a little mascara and my eyes are done. My favorite is MAC high definition or diorshow.

Now the most important part in my opinion, contouring. I start with a bronzer or in this case I used Nars madly blush.

I apply it to my cheeks, neck and forehead. Then with a brighter color, I add a pop on the apples of my cheeks.

Then with the white highlight color, I sweep under my eyes, across the bridge of my nose and down from my forehead.

And blend it all with a fluffy brush!

Tadaa, no more scary, blotchy face. Quick and easy and lasts all day. Sorry about my nails in the pictures, mamma needs a mani for sure!

Here is the finished look.
