Back by popular demand, the quick and easy, no-makeup makeup post (revised and improved). Knowing how to master the 5-minute face is crucial for mornings when you are short on time but still want to look a little more awake! The trick is to find reliable products that can multitask and deliver an effortless look without too much fuss. This updated post lists my holy grail products and budget-friendly options, all of which can be found at Sephora. These simple steps will help you put your best face forward in no time.
Glowy Base: Skip the foundation and opt for a dewy tinted moisturizer, glowy serum, or a hybrid version. These hydrate your skin, even skin tone, and add a healthy hue. Options: Saie Glowy Gel, Merit Glow Serum, or Glow Recipe Hue Drops.
Concealer: Use a quick dab of concealer to cover up blemishes or under-eye circles. You can use your finger or a small brush. Options: Merit Complexion Stick, Dior Backstage Concealer, or Nars Creamy Concealer.
Blush: A creamy blush stick is your friend for quickly adding a healthy glow. Swipe it on the apples of your cheeks and blend with your fingers. Options: Merit Flush Balms, Ilia Multi-Stick, or LYS Glow Blush Stick.
Mascara: A stroke of mascara can make your eyes appear wider and more awake. Scrape off the applicator to remove excess product and only apply to upper lashes sparingly. Options: Dior Iconic Overcurl Mascara, Ilia Volumizing Mascara, and Sarah Creel Tubing Mascara.
Lip Color: Finish off your look with a hydrating lip balm or gloss swipe that you can apply without a mirror. Options: Summer Fridays Butter Balm, Ami Colé lip oil, or Sephora Lip Gloss Balm.
