1. Mix your liquids

Lacking the time to moisturize your face before applying makeup? Here’s a time-saving tip: combine your liquid foundation and moisturizer for a quick makeup application that has an even base and looks healthy, dewy, and fresh. When your complexion needs a little additional help, add a few drops of liquid highlighter to this mixture to brighten your skin and give you an inner shine. 

2. Concealer

The only thing you need for your five-minute makeup is a brightening concealer. Your mind is probably still sleepy and requires caffeine to wake up properly. To brighten your under eyes and the high points of your face, apply a concealer that is one or two shades lighter than your exact match. This simple makeup trick aids in giving the appearance of skin that is relaxed and prepared for the day.

3. Powder

Even if you choose a quick 5-minute makeup look, you still want your skin to seem dewy and glowing rather than greasy and oily. To set your concealer and the areas of your face that are prone to oiliness, use a loose powder or pressed powder. Make careful to use the powder strategically to cover up all the additional shine on your face because the light from your laptop screen will showcase all the extra shining areas.

4. Lipstick

Once your base is complete, revive your appearance by coloring your lips with a pink matte creamy lipstick. Using the same lip makeup product on your cheeks is a tried-and-true tip you can employ in your five-minute makeup regimen. Instead of searching through your cosmetic collection for a blush, warm up some lipstick on your fingers and use it as a cream blush by dabbing it on the apple of your cheeks.

5. Mascara

To coat your lashes and give your eyes definition without exerting too much effort, apply a volumizing mascara. Apply the remaining mascara product in your brows using the same mascara wand if you don’t have an eyebrow pencil on hand for quick, minimal makeup!
