We all have those mornings when we roll out of bed strapped for time, but still want to look presentable/slightly human.
You’ve hit the snooze button a few too many times, slept in or it’s just one of those mornings where nothing is going right. Put your best face forward with our five foolproof steps to flawless makeup in five minutes!
Ready, set, go!
1. Spritz
First off, hydration! Makeup looks and lasts better with well-hydrated skin as a canvas (no one likes dry, flakey skin). Grab a hydrating facial spray to refresh and rehydrate prior to makeup application to ensure the best results.
2. Prime
It’s prime time! For a flawless finish, it’s essential to prep your skin with face primer. Primer will generally minimise the appearance of pores, refine lines and even-out your skin tone, while leaving your skin with a silky, smooth finish. Winning!
3. Foundation
Flawless skin is yours with the magic of foundation, but you need to get it right for great results. Look for a foundation that is both sun and water resistant which benefits the skin, with high quality ingredients to offer a natural-looking coverage that won’t clog up those pores! Evenly apply the foundation and add a swipe of concealer on dark circles under the eyes, or to cover any noticeable redness.
4. Colour
Blush and eye makeup brightens and adds warmth to your face. Brush a hint of blush lightly on your cheekbones to accentuate and soften the shape of your face, giving your complexion a rosy glow.
Use the power of light to reflect a flawless complexion by using an illuminator to highlight your brow bones and cheekbones. Don’t forget to add a smidgen of illuminator on the bridge of your nose and on your cupids bow.
5. Lips
Glamorous lips are an instant pick-me-up and speak of grooming and attention to detail.
Start with a stay-put lip liner that glides on easily. Colour your lips with long-lasting lipstick. Perfect your pout with a swipe of sheer lipgloss to give a pure yet luscious finish.
Voila! Five steps and you’re out the door and ready to face the world, head on!
