Quick, Easy, Everyday Makeup

Step by step tutorial, perfect for ladies on-the-go!

Whether you’ve woken up late, you’re in a rush, or whatever your situation is some of us just don’t have time every morning to put on a full face of glamorous makeup. As I am one to hit the snooze button several times, I understand. Follow these step by step instructions to achieve an effortless yet stunning makeup look that can be completed in less than ten minutes.

Step one: Instead of using a foundation, moisturize your face & neck very well. If you need a little extra coverage, use a tinted moisturizer. Using a moisturizer rather than foundation will speed up the process but also smooth your skin, giving you a fresh and healthy glow

Step two (optional): This step is optional and does require a little bit extra time, but you may choose to go in and conceal any dark circles or blemishes you have.

Step three: Powder your T-Zone (forehead, nose, and chin) because these are the places that normally get oily quick. You may use a colored powder or a translucent powder, depending on preference.

Step four: Apply a champagne colored eye shadow to your eyelids. This will not only add a little color, but also open up your eyes, making you appear more alert and awake.

Step five (optional): If needed, slightly fill in your eyebrows, make sure to not overdo it though. Skipping this step is perfectly fine, and will save some time.

Step six: Apply two to three coats of your favorite mascara to lengthen and volumize.

Step Seven: Finish off the look by dabbing your favorite lipstick on the center of your lips, and then blending it outwards with your finger.
