Beauty Thursday: My "Quick" Makeup Routine

If you follow me on Twitter, you will know that I am currently in the middle of the production process for a play. This involves long days, and long weeks. A number of people have asked me what I do on days when I feel tired but I still need to go to rehearsal and I want to look "fresh" so to speak.This is my super quick beauty routine that I have been turning to for the past few weeks.

Face:

1.I start by applying Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream all over my face and down my neck. I apply this using my fingers, and I am currently wearing it in the shade Light/Medium.

2. Next I grab my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer and I lightly contour my jaw, under my cheekbones, and sides of my forehead.

3. I then choose a gingery/peachy coloured blush and I apply that along my cheekbones, blending upwards.

4. I take my Almay CC Concealer and Brightener Duo, and going in with the concealer. I apply it under my eyes and around my nose. This is a very sheer formula which is perfect for me because I don't really have too bad undereye circles, just a little redness.

5. Then I take the brightener from the same duo and I apply that onto my browbone, down my nose, and along the tops of my cheekbones.

Eyes:
1. I fill in my brows with a waxy eye brow pencil and then brush them through with a spoolie.

2. Next I curl my lashes, and sometimes I will apply mascara, but if it is going to be a very long day, I just skip eye makeup all together.

Lips:

1. For my lips I grab one of my Revlon Lip Butters and apply it starting from the centre of my lip outwards.


That's it! This literally takes 5 minutes and it lasts all day long. I hope you enjoyed this makeup look and if you are ever super busy I encourage you to try it and let me know what you think!
