5 Minute Makeup

We all have those days where we’ve hit the snooze button a few too many times and are forced to pull ourselves together in five minutes or less.  Well have no fear my friends… I have the solution and it’s going to help you feel much less stressed out when you find yourself in this situation!

Before we dive into the steps, I highly recommend you memorize these 6 products because there’s a strong likelihood you will need to grab them as you’re leaving the house.  Every single product is under $12 except for the bronzer/brush/highlighter palette.  While it’s a bit pricey, I urge you to consider the fact that you are essentially getting 3 full-sized products in one.  One blush could easily cost the same as this entire palette.  This palette will change your life when it comes to travel and getting ready last-minute. 

First, apply your foundation and concealer. 

Next, contour and highlight if you have time, or just dab some blush on the tops of your cheekbones. 

Third, put some highlighter underneath your brow bones and on your eyelids, and use the bronzer in the crease of your eyelid if time allows.

Fourth, add some mascara (this one is my favorite and I get waterproof because I’m a waterproof kind of gal). 

Fifth, fill in your brows lightly with an eyebrow pencil.

Last, apply a natural pink lipgloss to your lips.  (When makeup is minimal, gloss always adds some extra oomph).
