do a 5 minute make-up application and be out the door.
do a 5 minute make-up application and be out the door.

SOMETIMES WE ARE ALL CALLED TO BE SOMEWHERE IN A HURRY AND SADLY WE ARE NOT PRESENTABLE. HERE ARE QUICK TIPS THAT WILL GET YOU OUT THE DOOR IN 5 MINUTES OR SO.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • FACIAL CLEANSER OR TONER
  • COTTON BALLS
  • FOUNDATION
  • CONCEALER
  • EYESHADOW/SPONGE TIP APP
  • MASCARA
  • BLUSH
  • LIP COLOR
  • POWDER
  • HAIR BRUSH
  • SCRUNCHY
  1. Step 1
     

    When the phone rings and you need to have been there yesterday according to the caller, while on the phone run into the bathroom and start your 5 minute make-over.
    Quickly find your skin cleanser or even the skin toner. Remember your in a hurry! But never be so rushed that you grab the bar soap and wash your face with it. Bar soap is bad, even for that split second. I would rather see you pull out your skin toner and a cotton ball, swipe over your face than to use bar soap on your skin.
    Fan your hands over your face to help it dry quicker.

  2. Step 2
    MINERAL SHEER TINT

    TO MOISTURIZE OR NOT? THIS ONE IS UP TO YOU.
    REMEMBER YOUR IN A HURRY!! YOU NEEDED TO BE THERE YESTERDAY.
    I DON'T RECOMMEND EVER SKIPPING MOISTURIZER, BUT YOUR IN A HURRY.
    For those of you who have a cosmetic drawer in your bathroom, pull it out and get out your foundation. Quickly, but smartly apply your foundation, making sure you are blending from forehead to neck. We don't want to look streaky. For two seconds fan your hands over your face and help it to dry.

  3. Step 3
    INNOVATIONS CONCEALER

    OH THOSE DARK CIRCLES!! WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO???? CONCEALER,IT'S IN YOUR DRAWER.
    Quickly open it, put on finger tips. Gently, but quickly cover-up those (bags)dark circles. Even though you are in a hurry remember this, the tissue under your eyes are the thinnest and most fragile, so don't hurry to do anymore damage. On to the next step!

  4. Step 4
    INNOVATIONS DIMENSIONAL EYESHADOW

    EYESHADOW!! LOOK IN YOUR COSMETIC DRAWER FOR A SOLID COLOR. NOT TO DARK NOT TO LIGHT.
    What probably will work best for this hurry up hurry up time, a shadow that has a little sparkle to it. A dimensional eye shadow works great.
    Quickly, with your cosmetic sponge, apply from lid to brow with light strokes.
    Apply a little of it under the lower lashes. Thats it. That's all you need.

  5. Step 5
    INNOVATIONS MASCARA

    Quickly apply enough mascara to both upper and lower lashes, so that you can see your lashes.
    FORGET THE EYELASH CURLER!!
