Ready in 5

by - March 13, 2014


Usually  I don't have enough time to do a full face of makeup so it's more of a get it on and go sort of thing. My makeup evolves around the no makeup-makeup look which always helps when you want to lay in bed that extra 5 minutes. These are the trusty products that make me not look like a zombie but actually presentable in the morning. 

I start off by evening out my skin-tone to get rid of any redness. For the days where I don't want to be faffing around with makeup brushes and making sure I have the right coverage, I tend to use a bb cream. The one which I use is the Maybelline Dream Pure bb cream, I find that it works really well to give a light base, but as it doesn't cover everything I like to go in with my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. It masks all my under eye circles and pesky spots. However it does tend to look a bit cakey so I would definitely recommend to apply as little as possible. Finally, I like to set everything with a powder (I'm currently trying out the Natural Collection powder) so nothing slides around throughout the day.

For my eyes I like to keep it simple and usually don't bother with eyeshadow. A quick curl of my lashes, a good coating of mascara (Maybelline the Falsies) and a brown eyeliner (Soap & Glory Smoulder Kohl in brown) in my water-line. This makes my eyes look a bit more wide awake well close anyway! I then like to go in with a pink lip colour (Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake) or just a tinted lip balm (Baby Lips in Cherry Me) to add some colour into my face. If I have that extra time I will add even more glow using the Soap & Glory Glow all out powder and the look is done!

  1. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

    I'm always in a rush in the morning! I'm one of those people who are always late!! I like using my Rimmel wake me up foundation as it makes me look a bit more alive & I add a nice glow with my soap & glory blusher!

    I've heard great things about the lasting perfect concealer I might have to get my hands on some soon! xx
