How To: 5 Minute Summer Makeup

How was your weekend? 

I went to a pool party 

& won a trivia contest, 

as trivia is the only "sport" I'm good at.

I also did the weekly Running of Errands.

Below is the makeup I wear in the summer,

especially whilst running errands.

It takes 5 minutes (or fewer),

can be worn year-round

(just sub in your faves), whilst traveling,

and is perfect for beginners 

or those who wear little makeup.

T O O L S:

Wet N Wild Creme Brulee Shadow

Hard Candy Fox in a Box Bronzer/Blush

Too Faced Bronzer

Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser Concealer

Revlon Lipgloss

Rimmel Mascara Day 2 Night (Used Night)

L'Oreal Smoldering Eyeliner (Brown)

M E T H O D:

• Dab on a BB Cream or tinted moisturizer. To save time, I used my fingers. I love BB Creams because they have more coverage than tinted moisturizer, hide imperfections, and even out skin tone. 1 minute
• Apply concealer where needed, as well as on lids and underneath bottom lashes. 1 minute
• If you've got oily skin, apply your favorite mattifying powder. I love ELF's Tone Correcting Powder. 5 seconds

• Pat on the light shadow. The concealer applied earlier will give shadow staying power as well as even skin tone/hide discoloration on the eyes. 15 seconds
• Take your crease brush, dip in the bronzer, and brush back & forth in crease & outer corner. The bronzer works as a great neutral & is one less product to grab in the morning. Just stay away from the sparkly bronzer! 15 seconds

• Line eyes along upper and lower lash lines. Gently smudge with finger on upper lashes. The concealer applied earlier will prevent liner from running underneath the eyes. 30 seconds

• Curl lashes & apply mascara to top lashes--this saves time & is why we added the liner and smudged it. 1 minute
• Brush on a bit of bronzer on the face. See my bronzer method here. 10 seconds
• I tend to get rubicund of visage fairly easily, so I would skip the blush. But to prove you actually have the time to, I did today! 5 seconds
• Finish the look with your favorite lipgloss. I chose coral! You could use lipstick instead and even use as blush if desired. 5 seconds

= 4 minutes, 25 seconds


Again, this could be longer/shorter depending on the products used. I used bronzer since it's summer, but leave that out if you don't wear it. I tried to not rush & really take my time to show how attainable this is. So for those that will say they "have no time" or the know-how, this proves you can do it! And I can't wait to see your pics!
