5 Minute Face!

5 Minute Face!

We all lead busy lives.  Whether you work full time, have kids, or just don't want to spend all your time getting ready... I get it.  I work full time, so getting any extra minutes of sleep is ideal.  My morning routine is a 5 minute face.  I wear this look probably 3 days a week with the other two adding some eye shadow.  This is my go to because it's fast and makes me look put together without looking like I'm wearing a ton of makeup.  Of course you can make this your own and add whatever you'd like.  Sometimes if I'm having a bad skin day, I'll add a little foundation to even out my skin tone.  

**Fun Fact- If you add a drop of foundation to your moisturizer it becomes a BB Cream.  I do this a lot in the summer.**

The key to this look is applying your concealer in an upside down triangle under your eyes.  This instantly brightens your face and draws the attention to your eyes.  While this is definitely not full coverage, I love this for quick on the go makeup.

Below are the list of products I used.

  1. Mac Prolong Wear Concealer
  2. Anastasia Contour Pallet
  3. Nars Orgasm Blush
  4. Becca Opal Highlight
  5. L'oreal Telescopic Mascara
  6. Mac Angel Lipstick

I used several brushes in this look because I have them on hand.  If you don't have brushes and you are just starting out, go with an affordable brand.  Elf and Real Techniques brushes are really nice and affordable.  Also, this is a non-branded "beauty blender".  I bought this for $7.00 vs $20.00.

**Disclaimer- Sorry for the video quality.  I'm not too familiar with it, but I wanted to do a video for you guys to see.  It will get better!**

Let me know what you guys think!  Make sure to comment below with other makeup application ideas you would like to see done!  Please subscribe.

Xoxo,

Jen
