Makeup is one of those magical things in life that can take a blah look to the next level and beyond, but in this fast-paced and chaotic world in which we live, finding time to achieve that perfect face of makeup can be tricky. Who but celebrities with paid stylists have time to apply makeup for 45 minutes to an hour? Luckily, perfect makeup is possible in just 5 minutes. Achieving a polished makeup look in under five minutes is all about choosing multitasking products and focusing on the essentials. Here’s a simple, quick routine:
1. BB/CC Cream or Tinted Moisturizer (1 min)
• Use a BB/CC cream or tinted moisturizer with SPF to even out your skin tone and provide light coverage. You can apply it quickly with your fingers for a natural finish, skipping the need for foundation and sunscreen separately.
2. Concealer (30 sec)
• Apply concealer under your eyes, around your nose, or on any blemishes to brighten and cover imperfections. Blend with your fingers or a sponge for a seamless look.
3. Brows (30 sec)
• Use a brow gel with a tint or a brow pencil to quickly fill in and shape your brows. A tinted gel can add color and hold in one step.
4. Cream Blush (30 sec)
• Opt for a cream blush that doubles as a lip color. Dab a little on the apples of your cheeks and blend with your fingers. Then apply a bit to your lips for a pop of color.
5. Mascara (1 min)
• A quick coat of mascara can instantly open up your eyes. Focus on the upper lashes to save time while still creating an impact.
6. Lip Gloss or Tinted Lip Balm (30 sec)
• Finish with a swipe of lip gloss or tinted lip balm for a natural, hydrated look. This adds a hint of shine and color without needing precision.
Bonus: Highlighter (Optional, 30 sec)
• If you have an extra 30 seconds, apply a touch of cream highlighter on the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bone, and cupid’s bow—for a subtle glow.
This routine gives you a fresh, natural look with minimal effort, perfect for when you’re short on time. Who says that you need a team of stylists to look your best? You can be both polished and productive.
