15 minute make-up routine


Now that my boss is getting so strict with timekeeping, I have to come up with a quick, 15-minute make-up routine. Of course, coming to work sans make-up is a no-no for a job like mine, facing several clients in a day. To keep me prepped up for every presentation without a lot of hours to waste in front of the mirror, here’s my tip:

First and most important of all, put on a moisturizer. It is the most important step because this makes your skin breathe under those layers of powder. I recommend that you find a moisturizer with SPF so you don’t have to apply another round of cream on your face. And of course, apply evenly. (1-2mins)

For a fresh look, dot a concealer on your problem areas like under the eyes and some blemishes. (1min)

Apply your foundation and/or face powder. Make sure that the tone of your face is same as of your neck. (2-3mins)

Brush color on the apples of your cheeks, light tint on your forehead and on top your nose. (1-2mins)

Put on eyeshadow. Safest and easiest to blend are those with shimmery finish. (3mins)

Apply mascara on your lashes. This is to open up your eyes so they won’t look droopy. (1min)

And lastly, put on some lip gloss or lipstick. (1min)

Now you’re good to go.
