5-Minute Makeup: Get Ready Fast

Sometimes you only have five minutes to spare, but you still want to look and feel your best. Fear not, because we're going to share some tips on how to get the perfect looks in just 5 minutes. Start by using a neutral toned BB cream. The cream not only evens out your skin tone, but also gives you a smooth base. Use your fingertips to blend it in for a more natural look. Don't forget to go over each part of your face, including around your nose and eyes, and blend down into the neck.

Next, to really help your eyes pop, gently apply mascara to the tips of your top eyelashes. To avoid any clumping, wiggle the wand back and forth as you apply - doing this separates the lashes and creates a fuller look. Eyebrows can often be overlooked in rush, but they can dramatically change your look. So, when time is short, just apply a small amount of brow gel to tame and shape them. For glowing cheeks, a touch of blush will do the trick. A rose or peach blush usually suits all skin tones, apply it on the apple of your cheeks and blend upward to your temple.

Finally, quickly apply a lip tint or a lip gloss of your choice to pull your quick 5-minute look together. This should add a pop of colour, while keeping your lips moisturised. An important tip to remember when applying makeup in a rush is to use multi-purpose products. For example, a lip tint can also be used as a blush, and a brow gel can be used to tame frizzy hair. And that's it, you're all ready to conquer the day – all in 5 minutes or less!
