None of us likes being late, so on mornings when we've allowed ourselves a little extra sleep, we should have a backup plan for getting ready. With a tried-and-true outfit, hairstyle, and makeup, a quick outing doesn't have to be chaotic, and we can look as if we planned it in advance. A quick makeup recipe and a few tips that might come in handy in the morning are the subject of today's article.
If you have 5-10 minutes to apply your makeup, it's a good idea to pat in a light but moisturizing cream, such as Soft Cream , before making your coffee. This time will allow the product to absorb, and your foundation will look and wear better. Then I move on to applying powder. It's a good idea to apply a mattifying foundation to the T-zone, and a brightening foundation to the cheeks and eye area.
*This foundation duo will mattify and brighten your complexion in just the right places. If you have visible imperfections, cover them with concealer, and if you have oily skin, lightly dust your skin with mattifying powder after applying your foundation.
The second step is blush. It's best to choose one that matches the shade of your lipstick, and if you choose a moisturizing balm, the blush should be as close to your natural lip color as possible.

The skin on the eyelids and around the eyes, which is thin and often allows veins to show through, should be evened out with a bit of illuminating powder. If you have an extra minute, you can enhance your eye makeup with a light shade, for example, the satin-finish, high-coverage Vanilla Annabelle Minerals.
*Dusting the eye area with illuminating powder will reduce subtle dark circles and veins, and your eyelids will become less oily. Powder also makes a good base for mineral eyeshadows, making them easier to apply and extending their wear.
Eye makeup should be done in elegant, yet safe, brown shades. A good choice is a mineral eyeshadow in the warm shade Cinnamon, and a delicate line just below the lash line in the darker shade Chocolate. I apply it with a damp brush and gently blend it to give the look a light look. I also use the remaining eyeshadow to highlight the lower eyelid.
*You can also apply the eyeliner in a different color. Graphite, muted purple, or bottle green are great choices. If you don't have much time to perfect your makeup, it's best to avoid shades of copper, warm brown, pink, or purple. These shades will primarily emphasize red, sleep-deprived eyes.

The finishing touch to the makeup is to fill in your eyebrows with the Brow Like Wow palette, apply mascara to your eyelashes, focusing on the upper eyelid, and paint your lips.
*The makeup looks like coral lip gloss, but if you're really pressed for time, it's better to use a neutral lip gloss or simply a moisturizing lipstick. It's worth adding even a little shine and color to your lips.
