concealer, foundation, eyeliner, mascara, touch of blush, and chapstick with lipgloss or lipstick
Some studiofix powder foundation, paintpot bare study all over eyes and some mascara, some fun & games blush and love nectar gloss.
a bit of peachy blush, mac paintpot, a brown mascara and some lipgloss.
Tinted moisturiser with SPF or Shu Uemura under base
Fill in brows
MAC Painterly to brighten lids
Nude blush – a must!
Mascara if there’s time
Lipbalm or lipstick applied in the car
I usually just dab a bit of concealer under my eyes (and the red spots!), then powder up my face with some Rimmel powder. I curl my lashes really high and cover them in Maybelline mascara. Little bit of Relvon blush and red lipstick ;), then I’m out the door! 🙂
Tinted moisturiser/foundation, concealer, bronzer, either Hush or Shell Cream Colour Base on eyes, lips and cheeks, black eye pencil and mascara, cushy white plushglass on lips… and i’m ready! 🙂
Studio Fix powder foundation, bronzer, quick sweep of neutral pink/beige e/s and blush, brown liner and mascara. I can put my lipgloss on when I’m walking outside.
Powder, mascara, blush & whatever lipstick is in my bag from the day before.
I have horrible circles around my eyes, so if I only have 5 minutes I’ll usually just do concealer & eyeliner. I use Benefit Lemon-Aid for the eyelids, Physicians Formula Gentle Cover Concealer in yellow to counteract the purplish undereye area, and then cover it with Benefit Boi-ing concealer to match my skintone. *sigh* I wish I didn’t have to though lol.
I just cannot get out of the door without concealer… lots of it. And then a bit of MAC’s paint in Bare Canvas, some mascara and blush. Otherwise I look weird… Or maybe its just me…
eyeliner, mascara, lipgloss and powder. 🙂
Studio Fix powder foundation, Clinique brow powder, mascara, Mac Cubic blush and Burt Bee’s pomagranate lip balm.
gloss, whichever mascara is in my bag and a sweep or 2 of blush.
Hhhhhm I just use some moisturizer, a powder at least, if theres time for concealer… and def mascara!
Concealer (just where I need it), some sparkly neutral on the lid (i.e. Mac’s All That Glitters, Honeylust, etc.), Rimmel mascara, and any lipgloss I can spot right away 🙂
It’s uasally foundation, black eyeliner on the waterline, a colored eyeliner on the top. Mascara brows and chapstick or a light lipgloss.
maybe 7 minutes lol a lil bit of concealor on cheeks, a sweep of studio fix, liner, a coat of mascara lipgloss and out the door lol
UD 24/7 Zero eyeliner, Guerlain Le 2 mascara in black, Collection 2000 concealer, MSFN in Medium, some lipgloss and maybe blush if I have time.
Even on my “lazy or rushed days” I still feel like I’m not ‘complete’ unless I have my face on. On the days when I have little time or I’m just really not feeling doing something fantastic I use my MES in Play on Plums and make that work, weather I use the light color on the lid and dark in crease or switch it up and use dark on lid and lighter to blend the crease and then vanilla pigment as my highlight i always feel ‘done up’ without having to take forever picking and blending, blending and picking. then I normally just use msf natural and the first blush I come to….works great on the days I want that extra 30 mins of sleep…
Some sort of coverup for skin (diy tinted moisturizer or regular foundation), quick lining of upper lashline, a neutral blush, and chapstick!!
I don’t own anything from it, but the color Craft collection caught my eyes.
sorry I replied to the wrong post, ignore this!
my 5 minute look – msfn, eyebrow powder, an eye pencil in black, mac bare study paint pot all over the lid, chanel inimitable mascara, a blush, mac lip conditioner in petting pink – that’s it 😉

I apply foundation with my fingers right after moisturizing. Then a dusting of powder and blush. Cream eyeshadow with my fingers, then mascara and lipgloss.
ALL of my looks are my “five minute look” LOL. I don’t do super elaborate or heavy makeup pretty much ever, so I usually keep my makeup time under 5.

Clear brow gel to keep brows in place
Curl lashes, apply mascara
A nice pinky/natural creme blush on apples of cheeks

Hola, solo un poco de crema hidratante con color y el rimel, además de las cejas bien alineadas con un lapiz…
