What’s your 10-minute makeup look?
In keeping up with the Only in a Woman’s World campaign, I recognize how many of us are busy bees and can’t always find the time to put together elaborate makeup looks. Sometimes we just need something that’s practical, quick, and still makes us look our best. I’m curious to hear what your quick and dirty out-the-door-in-ten-minutes-or-less look is!
Here’s mine…
For me, I find that filling in my brows, a few coats of mascara, and blush are three things that are absolute musts for me. I also consider foundation particularly important for me, as my skin just isn’t perfect, so I always start with that. I’ll quickly define my brows next. If I remember, I’ll do a wash of Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow on the lid with a few coats of mascara to wake-up my eyes. A quick dab of blush on both cheeks, and then a swipe of lipgloss and I’m ready to dash out the door.

Moisturizer conceal (EVERYTHING IS A MUST) Mac Studio fix powder A swipe of Mac soft ochre pain pot across the lid My go to NYX trio in shimmer/peach/copper (shimmer on the lid, peach in the crease, and then copper under the bottom lashline) ELF spotlight facial whip on high cheek bone A little dusting of Nars Luster blush Curl my lashes then Lash blast, curl again Some clear gel on my brows since they are groomed Then any lipgloss i get my hands on ( not much of a lipstick gal) lately it's been Mac Queenbee gloss with Goldyrocks dazzleglass on top
Primer Liquid Foundation Finishing Powder Beauty Powder Blush TFSI Painterly PP Omega E/S on the Lid Soft Brown E/S blended in the Crease Carmex on the Lips 3 Coats of Waterproof Mascara on each top lash and bottom lash! and out the door!
Hyper real foundation some blush, usually Mocha for quick looks Naked lunch e/s on upper lid and Satin Taupe on lower lid Teddy eyeliner on waterline 2 coats mascara whatever lippie I have within reach! Usually Cherry Blossom or Virgin Kiss.
For 10 minutes or less, this is what I do: 1. Apply sunscreen immediately after washing face; 2. Apply liquid foundation; 3. Top off with translucent mineral powder; 4. Apply eyeshadow primer, and while it dries I do steps 5 and 6; 5. Put a light highlighter on brow bone; 6. Fill in brows and curl lashes; 7. Apply 2 similar eyeshadows in natural colors with shimmer (1 light and 1 slightly darker); 8. Apply black liquid eyeliner on top and brown pencil underneath; 9. Apply black mascara; and 10. Put on lipgloss while walking to the car. It seems like a lot, but I do it in under 10 minutes all the time!
chafing gel+ spf 15 lotion concealer under eyes and around nose loose clinque powder blush : MAC well dressed mascara: clinique naturally glossy chapstic done! run out the door! :)
I'm never fully awake to do a lot in 10 minutes if I put in contacts 1. laura mercier or Neutrogena tinted moisturizer + Neutorgena sunscreen 2. MUFE or MAC (tho lately I've been using Benefit) concealer 3. UD 24/7 liner in zero 4. mascara IF I have more time if i'm really lazy and just stick to my glasses: 1. tinted moisturizer + sunscreen
the minimum is tinted moisturizer (Chanel), concealer (Armani) and lip gloss (whatever). I curl my eyelashes, define my brows (Chanel or Bourjois) and use loose powder (Givenchy) if I have one extra minute. one more extra minute means nude eyeshadow (Clinique Beige Velvet is my go-to one) and mascara base (Chanel).
apart from the cleanse-tone-moisturise routine: 1. Chanel mat lumiere compact foundation 2. Fill-in brows, dab on Mac paint pot/shadestick on eyelid (1 color), line upper lash w any MAC pencil. 3. Curl lash and apply macara 4. Cream or liquid blush (MAC CCB in Crushed Bouganvilla or The Body Shop cheek stain) 5. Lip gloss or stain Ard 10mins or less, tt's all folks!
My five minute face is: i. Buff MAC MSFN in Light into my skin and dust some Blot Powder on ii. I fill in my brows with some Revlon Colorstay eyeliner iii. Tightline with another Revlon liner iv. Apply Femme Fi or Solar White into my inner-eye area and highlight my brow My ten minute face adds on: v. Apply some HIP Color Truth eyeliner and wing vi. Curl lashes. Sweep on mascara, usually something by Rimmel vii. Dab on some lip balm and grab a lipgloss to-go. :3
For me, it's about some moisturizer and concealer, and then some Painterly paintpot on the lid, followed by Bobbi Brown shimmer brick in either Nude or Bronze, on the lid and cheeks. Some Lancome Cils XL lash primer, followed by mascara, and whichever gloss is closest.
Concealer under my eyes and around my nose, neutral blush, brown liner, mascara, and a sheer lipstick
If I'm in a serious hurry... Moisturize (I put this on as soon as I wake up, so it's dry by the time I get to the makeup part of the morning routine.) VS Skin Primer Quick buffing of bare escentuals in tan UDPP all over lid Arena from lashline to brow Espresso for brows Curl lashes, then use Wet n Wild Protein Mascara, followed by Maybelline Lash Stylist (so mistakes are kept to a minimum) VS black eye pencil on waterline NYX Terra Cotta Blush Whatever lip gloss I have in my purse, I put on while I'm walking to the car!
here goes... -moisturize -mac concealer to cover my red cheeks -a peachy light blush with a little shimmer -select sheer powder to set -put on eyeshadow base -next to nothing eye shadow -tempting in the crease -then mascara -for lips i always have my burts bees lip balm in my bag so i can do that anytime, then on top either lollypop loving or pink fish tlc. and thats my 10 min face! ta da

Because I'm a nanny I keep it simple if I only have 10 minutes to get ready. - Foundation Primer (I have gigantic pores and sun damaged skin, so this is a must): Smashbox Photo Finish, MUFE HD primer (the green one) - Foundation: A matte powder (I tend to look shiny though I'm not particularly oily) - Curl my lashes (they're almost an inch long and grow straight, sometimes upside down, and I wear glasses to this is a must - Mascara: CoverGirl Lash Blast (Waterproof) - Liner: Blacktrack Fluidline on my water- and tightlines, set with Carbon eyeshadow (or Shadowy Lady or a dark brown if I don't want it too dark), smudged slightly at the lashline to make my lashes look thicker - Lip: A neutral lipgloss or lip gelee, often just a lip conditioner of some sort (I have loads - My favourite is the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment!)
I just put some natural looking blush, a bit of bronzer on the key areas, a wash of beige e/s, mascara, white eye pencil on the waterline and finally a pinky gloss.
My 'quick' routine: - A sweep of EDM mineral powder and bronzer - A wash of neutral pink/beige e/s - Define brows with a pencil + browgel - Liner + mascara - Blush - Gloss

Really quick uh-oh mornings: I dab concealer under my eyes and around my nose, curl lashes and lipgloss. If I have more time I'll put on some blush and mascara. I do have clear skin and don't really need foundation. Even after a while I don't like how foundation feels on my skin! I do wear it when I have more time or when i know I am going to be photographed.

Foundation, concealer, mascara, eyeliner, and lipgloss. Maybe filling in my brows if I have time.
My minimum is concealer and contacts. But since 10 minutes would be considered a lot before school, I would curl my lashes, tightline on the upper lashline, mascara, brow pencil and gel, blush, and tinted lip balm!
Concealer Liquid foundation with a low-maintenance, hurry-friendly brush (NOT my 187) Bronzer - Cargo Rubenesque P/P All that glitters & antiqued in crease Black pencil eyeliner upper and waterline- I like Mac Powerpoints Curl eyelashes Maybelline Colossal mascara - total HG And if I only have 5 min I'll skip e/s.

Lately it's been: moisturize--- as I wait for it to soak in.... I do: brows painterly all over lid grain e/s all over stubborn brown liner smudged whatever mascara I'm loving then back to face cover fx water based foundation bobbi brown concealer laura mercier setting powder nars torrid blush nars outsider lipstick (i'm loving the torrid/outsider combo) (if I have time I highlight checkbones, nose, upper lip, brow bone with MAC Vanilla e/s)
A little bit of concealer where needed, blush and highlighter and some silica powder for the face. Eyes I do a neutral matte color on the lid and bourbon eyeliner and some mascara. Some lipgloss or quick lipstick and I'm done.
Toner. Essence. Moisturizer. Paul & Joe Face Powder N all over. Mascara. Blush. Lip balm. Spray perfume on myself. Comb my hair. Go!
I'll start with a good tinted moisturizer for a dewy look or powder foundation if I want a more matte finish. A quick sweep of cream shadow such as MAC Paint in Bamboom, and then if possbile, I try to never skip curling my lashes, keep them that way with Shiseido lash primer, then mascara. A quick sweep of peachy blush, and some kind of sheer lipstick or gloss!
- Cleanse and exfoliate (essential if I don't have time or feel like applying foundation) - Quick buffing of B.E. Well Rested under the eyes - UDPP from lashline to browbone, on lower waterline and lower lashline - MAC Bronze e/s on the lid and crease, Shroom to blend above crease and to highlight the brow and inner corner - L'Oreal HIP Kohl in Black on the upper and lower lashlines smudged, applied to waterline (the waterline's optional) - Maybelline Full 'n' Soft WP in black on upper lashes only - Do the brows quickly and lightly - Quick sheer, light cheek and lip stain on cheeks and lips I have blue eyes, so MAC Bronze brings them out; my 5-minute face is always mineral undereye concealer, any shadow on the lid lightly blended, strong brows, smokey liner and a stain on lips and cheeks.
I would use the following MAC products: Studio Fix Foundation, Painterly Paint Pot, Shroom, Mystery and Juxt eye shadow, Plushlash or Dazzlelash Golden Bronzing Powder Angel and Pastel Emotion or Creme Cup and Underaged
1. Foundation/concealer --must, my skin sucks lol 2. Eyeliner (upper) 3. Mascara If I still have time: 4. Eyeshadow 5. Lipgloss/lipstick (this is in my purse all the time, so if I don't have time in the morning, it's not a big deal to find something later in the day) 6. Eyebrows 7. Blush

concealer msf natural brown liner in the waterline & uppper lashline mascara lip gloss light pink blush :)
I usually start with this order: tinted Moisturizer, concealer, all-over powder (Sometimes I use a MAC Beauty Powder to brighten my complexion, or I found myself using Honey Light High-light powder as a light dusting to give a golden glow, typically it usually is a sheer pressed powder), blush, and a quick swipe of lip color. If I didn't dilly-dally too much, I'll do mascara, eye primer and a wash of color on the lids.
