5 Minute Makeup

If you're in a rush in the a.m., one way to cut back on time is to know how to get a great look with a 5 minute makeup. First off, always keep your liquid foundation in the bathroom (even if you do the rest of your face in another room). When you get out of the shower, dry your face and apply the foundation. As you go about doing your hair this allows the liquid foundation time to set on your face. Never apply a powder directly after a liquid or it will look really cakey.

Now set those clocks....and whip out the 6 tools to live by...mineral powder for an airbrushed look (I like Covergirl truBlend minerals www.covergirl.com ), mineral blush, eyeshadow, brow/eye pencil, mascara, and lip gloss.

Step 1: Sweep a thin layer of mineral powder from jawbone to forehead (45 seconds)

Step 2: Suck in cheeks and brush blush over apple of cheeks and t-zone ( 10 seconds )

Step 3: Taking a combo brow/eye pencil gently brush over your natural brows to darken and define, no more than 1 shade though! Line bottom outer corners of eyes (1 minute)

Step 4: Using your finger smudge shadow on lids. I always use my fingers to blend to give a more natural look. For darker skin tones, go for violet hues, but not too heavy unless you are going out at night! For fair tones, go peachy for day and dark blue for evening. (30 seconds)

Step 5: Line upper and lower lashes with mascara (1 minute 15 seconds)

Step 6: Run gloss over lips (15 seconds)

Good Morning Gorgeous!
