My Easy, 5-Minute Morning Makeup Routine
Let’s talk makeup!
During my quarantine I have found that sticking to a regular schedule, getting dressed, doing my hair and putting makeup on - even if it’s a 5-minute face - has done wonders for my overall wellbeing. At first it was fun to be fresh faced, in leggings and my hair pulled up into a bun, but after awhile all I wanted to do was look and feel pretty.
I’m a big believer in being the person who you want to be. Similar to the idea of dressing for the job you want vs the job you have, but for me this goes beyond just dress but about being, acting, and feeling like the person you want to be and not just giving up and letting yourself “go”.
This quarantine time has been interesting and it’s okay if you gain 10 pounds, lose 10 pounds or stay the same. We all deal with stress, anxiety and change in different ways. For me virtual workouts with friends, getting dressed daily, eating fun new meals and having a my new new favorite drink, my Spicy Peach Jalapeno Margarita, works for me.
But if you are like me and want to feel pretty and put together while at home, here are a few of my favorite makeup products right now to create my 5-minute face!
Beauty Counter Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer
I love this tinted moisturizer with SPF. It evens out my skin tone, provides me a little color and gives me this dewy glow. I will usually mix it with another moisturizer because a little goes a long way.
Bareminerals Complete Coverage Serum Concealer in light
I use this under my eyes, along my t-zone and in another place I think a little more concealing needs to occur. I use a damp blender sponge to blend it into my skin and the damp sponge helps to keep my dewy look.
Bareminerals Endless Summer Bronzer in Warmth
I’ll do a quick bronzer on my cheek bones, t-zone and around my hairline and jaw to get additional color and definition. I used to be so afraid of bronzer, but put some on your brush, shake the extra off and go!
Bareminerals Performance Wear Powder in Ivory 2
Then I put on this powder as a final foundational step. I don’t like to wear things that are way too heavy or you can feel is on your face. This powder is so light and shear. I love it!
I will use this natural nude brown color cloud paint on my cheeks and eyelids to give me some additional color and dimension. Less is more here. Just dab and blend.
Beauty Counter Brow Gel in Dark Brown
I use this brow gel in dark brown to fill in my brows and make them stay in place all day. This was a game changer for me for a more polished and done look. Don’t ever forget the brows!
Add some volume to your lashes and open up your eyes more. I love mascara and think it can change your whole eye look when on!
This SPF lip balm is my favorite! I have it in a few different colors, but petal is my favorite. It nourished while giving your pout a little something extra. Been a beauty staple of mine for over 5 years.
Hope you enjoy the secrets to my easy, 5-minute face! to look more put together this quarantine!
