Mornings tend to be difficult. Living in a constant rush makes it hard to you to devote even a few minutes to apply a perfect makeup. Discover how to do it in 5 minutes to look flawless and beautiful no matter how much time you have.
Men will probably not understand it, but stunning looks require dedication and… time. It takes about an hour for the makeup artist to make your full makeup. How to get an hour a day for makeup in such busy life? There’s no need to because we don’t have to wear a full makeup on a daily basis.
For the sleepyheads, who often get up way too late, instant and express solutions are a must. Each woman spends 15-25 minutes on the morning care and makeup. What to do when we have only a few minutes available? There will always be some solutions.
Can you apply makeup in 5 minutes only?
Yes, of course. You only need to minimize the number of cosmetics used and follow makeup techniques that do not require concentration and very precise action. Perfectly winged eyeliner, as well as face contouring, are not an option in this case. This quick makeup is all about concealing the signs of tiredness, giving the skin a nice, solid color and subtly emphasizing the beauty, without a few layers of full-coverage foundation nor tons of eyeshadows.
5-minute makeup – not for everyone
Unfortunately, quick 5-minute makeup is a solution not for everyone. The main point is that you cannot cover all the imperfections and visually slim your face within only a few minutes. That’s why all of the following tips will work especially for people with not very problematic skin – no acne, no dark-under eyeshadows, no bags under the eyes, no unsightly discoloration.
How to do makeup in 5 minutes?
You will need the following cosmetics:
- a light foundation or a BB cream,
- a mineral, rice or bamboo powder,
- a delicate blush to the cheeks,
- a volumizing mascara,
- a lipstick in a neutral shade.
5-minute makeup has its own rules. There is not much time here, so we do not need a set of brushes at all. We will successfully make it with our fingertips or a handy beauty blender. Here are the five most important steps in everyday makeup.
1 minute – apply the foundation
Even if you do not have time, do not give up on the foundation. Choose a lightweight one with care ingredients or replace it with your favorite BB cream. Apply it to your face and pat your fingertips or use the makeup sponge. A few quick movements and your complexion will have a uniform color, small imperfections will be masked and the face will appear more vivid.
2 minutes – apply the powder
A powder is a cosmetic that should not be missing. The mineral, bamboo or rice version is very light, so it will not create they cakey effect. Take a bit of powder with the included puff or a fluffy brush to fix the foundation and mattify or lighten the skin (it depends on which face powder you choose).
3 minutes – add some blush
Smoothed and unified complexion may seem flat. Unfortunately, makeup in 5 minutes comes with limitations – there is no time for contouring or strobing. However, in this case, a blush can be a life-saver. Enhance your cheeks with a touch of blush in your favorite shade that matches your complexion (cool and delicate tones work best). By the way, you can also apply it to your eyelids; this way it will replace the eyeshadow. Also, this way you will rejuvenate and refresh your face, giving it a little healthy color.
4 minutes – coat your eyelashes
Mascara is the cosmetic that emphasized beauty best. Use the one that greatly lengthens and thickens eyelashes, because if they are full of volume, your eyes will make the impression of being larger and wide open. When doing the 5-minute makeup, you do not need anything except mascara.
5 minutes – emphasize your lips
Devote the last seconds to your lips. Make sure to nourish them and add color. When you do not have much time in the morning, choose only lipsticks with neutral, delicate colors. Then, you will not have to worry about applying it precisely and outlining the lip shape. To avoid using too much lipstick, which could gather in the corners of your lips, apply it with the tip of your finger to the center of the lip and gently rub it towards the corners.
