Makeup in Minutes

Running late? Think there’s no time for makeup? Think again! There’s always time for beauty, ladies, and it doesn’t have to take you hours. Here’s a simple, 6-step breakdown on how to do your makeup in minutes.

  1. Foundation

    A foundation, or better yet, a tinted moisturizer, will eliminate the step of applying your day crea. Smooth all over your face, blending into your jawline and hairline.

  2. Concealer

    Since you’ve already applied the tinted moisturizer or foundation, you’ll need less concealer, if any. Apply under eyes and on blemishes as needed.

  3. Blush

    A blush, or bronzer, applied in a circular motion on the apples of the cheek and sweep up the cheek bone.

  4. Eye liner

    Apply eye liner to upper lash line as close to the roots as possible and smudge with a Q-Tip.

  5. Mascara

    Apply mascara, getting as close to the roots as possible. For a time saver, just do the upper lashes.

  6. Lip color

    Apply lipstick or lip gloss to the lips.

That’s it, and you’re on your way! Quick, simple, and glamarific!
