5 Minute Beauty Routine


Confession time: I haven't always loved wearing make-up every day.  For a long time, I wasn't wearing any make-up to work because I was not waking up with enough time.  It wasn't a priority for me.  But, I now have a perfected 5 minute beauty routine for the mornings.

After washing my face, I start with my trusty Bobbi Brown hydrating eye cream and Rinse squalane oil.


Then, I apply concealer.  I use First Aid Beauty triple duty eye cream.  I love how it depuffs my eyes and gives me enough coverage to hide any dark circles.  I also use Nars concealer on any spots that need concealing...


I took Katie's recommendation and was using BareMinerals matte powder.  While I like it, I was missing the light feeling of my favorite tinted moisturizer.  When I saw BareMinerals Complexion Rescue, I had to try it.  I am obsessed and my skin looks so dewy and healthy when I use it.


I use this Bobbi Brown shimmer brick like it is going out of style.  It is really convenient and time-saving to give me all over color and eliminates me having to use eye shadow when I'm in a rush.  Can you tell I like products that have multi purposes?


I then apply mascara primer and my favorite mascara.


I use the spray in the first picture to set my make-up for the day.  And then, I finish with my trusty Dr. Lipp lip balm and Tom Ford lipstick.

  1. Love this! Some days Im in such a rush so this is the perfect routine for that quick, put together look! I wear makeup every day during the week (I blame it on my very southern relatives who told me to never go out without my "face on") so I love a quick solution to my daily routine!

  2. I'm always looking for a good eye cream. Currently I'm using the one from Benefit. I might have to try the First Aid Beauty eye cream to hide my dark circles too!

  11. I need to try the eye cream I always have puffy eyes from not getting enough sleep. Quick is always better when it comes to the morning routines.

  17. I feel like I need a new beauty routine so this was super helpful! I think I need to look into Nars! The drugstore brands aren't cutting it anymore! :)

  18. I love quick makeup routines! I don't wear much anymore now that I live in Manila (and it is way too hot to have makeup on most of the time), but I am interested in trying out that tinted moisturizer. Adding it to my list of things to buy when I'm back home in Houston next!
