💦 01 — QUICK PREP
I love products that can do more than one job when I'm in a hurry. This gives me SPF while also adding a little glow, so I can skip a separate glowy primer.

When I'm rushing, I don't want a million skincare steps. This gives my skin a nice hydrated base so my makeup goes on more smoothly.

1 Eaze Drop Lightweight Blurring Skin Tint - FENTY ...
I don't think you need to conceal your entire face when you're rushing. I'd just use this where I actually need more coverage—under my eyes and around any redness.
Radiant Creamy Concealer
If I have an extra 20 seconds, I'll add this to the high points of my face. It gives that really pretty healthy glow without needing a full highlighting routine.

🌸 03 — ADD SOME COLOR
This is one of my favorite shortcuts because you only need a tiny amount. It instantly makes your face look more alive and put together.

👁️ 04 — EYES IN 30 SECONDS
I swear a little brow gel can make you look so much more awake. I just brush my brows up and leave them alone.

When I don't have time for eyeshadow, mascara is enough. This gives my lashes that lifted, defined look without needing an entire eye routine
Roller Lash Curling Mascara
If I actually have another minute, I'll tap a little cream shadow onto my lids. No complicated blending—just swipe it on with your finger.
Charlotte Tilbury Eyes To Mesmerise Cream Eyeshadow
💋 05 — THE QUICK LIP
This is my ultimate lazy-girl lip. It's easy to apply, moisturizing and gives just enough color to make your whole face look finished.
If I'm getting ready this quickly, I definitely don't want my makeup disappearing halfway through the day. A few sprays at the end help everything look more put together.
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
For days when I know I'm going to be out for hours, this is the one I'd reach for. Especially when I don't have time to touch up later.
Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray
