On busy mornings I don’t have time for a full glam routine, but I still like to look fresh and polished. These are the simple products I use to do my makeup quickly while still looking put together. The routine takes about 5 minutes and uses beginner...
I always start with primer because it makes everything apply faster and smoother. It helps makeup grip to the skin and prevents patchiness, especially when you’re doing your makeup quickly.
Hydrating Face Primer
For everyday makeup I prefer skin tint over heavy foundation. It blends quickly with fingers and gives a fresh, natural finish that looks like real skin.
Lightweight Skin Tint / Tinted Moisturizer
A small amount under the eyes instantly makes you look more awake. I dab a little around my nose and on any spots to even out the complexion.
Cream Concealer
I lightly set my under-eyes and T-zone so my makeup doesn’t crease or look oily during the day.
Translucent Setting Powder
Brows frame the face, so filling them in lightly instantly makes you look more polished even with minimal makeup.
Brow Pencil
This step takes seconds but makes brows look neat and lifted all day.
Brow Gel
This is one of my favorite shortcuts. Just swipe it on the eyelid and blend with your finger for instant eye definition.
Cream Eyeshadow Stick
If I have an extra minute, I add a neutral shade to the crease to make the eyes look more defined.
Neutral Eyeshadow
Mascara instantly opens up the eyes and makes the whole face look more awake.
Lengthening Mascara
A quick swipe on the temples and cheekbones makes the skin look naturally sun-kissed.
Cream Bronzer
Blush is what makes the face look lively and healthy. I blend it with my fingers for a natural flush.
Cream Blush
A little glow on the cheekbones makes the skin look fresh and radiant.
Subtle Highlighter
Lightly outlining the lips makes them look fuller and helps lip products last longer.
Lip Liner
Perfect for everyday wear because it’s moisturizing and effortless.
Tinted Lip Balm
This finishes the look and makes lips look fuller and healthier.
Lip Oil
The final step that melts all the makeup together and keeps it looking fresh throughout the day.
Setting Spray
Keeps your everyday routine organized so you can grab everything quickly.
