My 5 Minute Makeup Application


This makeup application takes 5 minutes to do on myself.  This is because I do this daily.  Below I am going to list out what I used and in what order I do them.  You will find what works best for you.  Then you can master it within your own 5 minutes! 

1- Prime and Foundation.  I only start with foundation if I am not doing eye shadow that day.  Pictured is Mac Primer and Mac Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof foundation.

2- Conceal.  I apply my Mac Pro Longwear Concealer with a beauty blender under my eyes.  (hint: I spritz my fix+ spray by Mac onto my beauty blender prior to concealer.) 

3- Set concealer.  This isn't for everybody.   I set with a translucent powder by Laura Mercier (not featured in the above picture).

4- Bronze.  Above I used Mac Dark Deep Next to Nothing Powder as my bronzer.  

5- Cheek color.  I've been obsessed with Mac Fairly Precious Blush. I love the extra dimension it gives my cheek bones. (This could be a step to skip if not enough time.)

6- Highlight.  I rarely leave the house without a highlight! "Highlight to the God's", tends to be my motto onset with the girls these days.  Above is Oh, Darling by Mac.  (This also could be a step to skip if not enough time.)

7- Fill in brows.  This is an absolute must before I leave the house.  It's just plain scary if not! I currently use Mac Dirty Blonde Brow Gelcreme.  I choose this for me because my Anastasia Beverly Hills gel pot liners and pencils don't go as well with my hair.  This Mac one has a red underlining pigment that blends well with my skin tone and hair color. 

8- Eyeliner.  I tight-line my inner eye with Mac Smolder Eye Kohl pencil.  I do not recommend this when in a hurry; I've accidentally poked my eye before!  Yes, Pro's make mistakes too when in a hurry!

9- Finishing Spray.  I spritz with Mac Fix+ spray to set my makeup.  (You can skip when in a hurry.)

10- Mascara.  Above is my current favorite Mac Instacurl Lash.  The wand twists into a curled shape to help give volume. 

11- Lips.  Use your favorite lip balm, gloss or stain.  

Boom!  That is my quick everyday makeup look I do on myself. Now if you have an absolute perfect complexion and can rock only mascara.  Then you, "GO GIRL!"  I'm envious of your perfection! 

Next I will feature what tool I use to create my curls!


 NO, I do not only use all MAC.  I do like other products; however, all of these just tend to be my go to's right now.
