Minimal Everyday Beauty Routine

Makeup is a fun way of expressing ourselves, however, not everyone has the time to play around with makeup. If you want to keep your beauty routine in the morning to 5 minutes or less these tips might be just what you need. But first, there are some questions you should ask yourself.

1. How much time am I willing to spend on a makeup routine in the mornings?

Your mornings will become more enjoyable when you start to prioritize what is more important to you. Is it a longer shower in the morning or a longer breakfast with your family? Your morning beauty routine should not be rushed or feel like a hassle. Are you able to do a fast 5 minute look using minimal products or do you need more time to feel satisfied with your final look?

2. Are you willing to spend extra time in the evenings on a skincare routine?

A great skin care routine can have such an impact on how you apply your makeup.The better the condition on your skin, the less makeup you will need. Many of us slather on makeup in hopes of covering that blemish or smoothing out the texture of our skin. Spending extra time before bed on an effective skin care routine will leave your skin glowing the next day!

My Tips:

Keep it SIMPLE!

Analyze your face and figure out which features you want to highlight. If your eyes are your favorite feature use an eyeliner and your favorite mascara to make them POP!

Less is more!

Going foundation-less doesn't have to be so scary. There was a time where i could not leave the house without foundation! Over the years i've mastered how to effectively use concealer. First, find a good quality concealer that matches your skin tone. Remember, a little goes a long way!
