The Five Minute Face Routine You Should Be Doing.

Tinted moisturizer/BB Cream:-Tinted moisturizer can help to even skin tone, moisturize, control oil, and act as a primer. Use this as your first step in your makeup routine.

Set it with a Powder Foundation: If you have dry skin, be sure to use a tinted moisturizer or BB cream that will give you moisture so that the powder doesn’t dry your skin even more. If you have oily skin, use a bb cream that helps control oil. 

Blush: If you wear foundation, you must wear blush. Using a foundation will make your face all one color and it looks unnatural. Just a little bit of blush will go a long way. To add a bit of color to your cheeks try Nars Cosmetics Taj Mahal Blush. 

Eyebrow pencil: If your foundation and brows are done, you will look well put together without being overly done. Try to find a brow pencil that has a if your foundation and brows are done, you will look well put together without being overly done. Try to find a brow pencil that has a spoolie on the end so that it’ll help blend the brow pencil with your natural brow. Go for a brow pencil that is close to your brow hair color. Going too dark will make your brows look harsh. Going too light will make them look ashen.

Eyeliner: Whether going for a smoky look it a more natural look, your eyeliner is essential to your eye makeup routine. You can color your whole eyelid and smudge with your finger for a smoky look, or you can lightly line along the lash line for a softer, more natural look. 

Mascara: Mascara makes a world of difference in a makeup routine. Opt for a curling mascara if you have straight lashes. If you have light colored (blonde) lashes, opt for a dark brown mascara. If your lashes are dark, go for the blackest black mascara you can find! My favorite Mascara is the Make Up For Ever Smokey Extravagant.

Lipgloss: as you’re walking out the door, slide on a lip color. If you use a lipstick, try one that’s sheer so that if you make a mistake, it’s not as noticeable. If you prefer a lip gloss, you can pretty much wear any color you’d like. I’m not talking about the liquid lipsticks that dry to a matte finish. I’m talking high shine gloss. Trust me, they’re more forgiving when in a rush. Try out the Clinique Chubby stick in Honey glow or Viva Glam VI.

Tools: the main tool you’d need for this look is a brush that can go from liquid to powder. I’d suggest going with a large duo fiber stippling brush like MAC’1 187 Brush. It’s big enough to get you face covered in record time! After doing your bb cream/tinted moisturizer, dry your brush on a paper towel and go straight into your powder. Once you’re done with the powder, go straight into your blush. You can use this brush for all 3!
