So we all have those times that we need to throw on a full face of makeup(or seem so) in just a few minutes. Either we are running late for an appt or work, there is a date night that comes up or your best friend calls and wants to head out for happy hour.
These are my 5 Minute Makeup must haves and tips
So to get the 5 minute makeup going first moisturize your skin with your moisturizer of choice.
1. All over the BB Cream. The above is my favorite but any BB cream will work to give your face the all over coverage it needs.
2. Take a concealer, I have the NARS above one, but I also love erase paste, bobbi brown and mac concealers and cover the spots that need covering.
3. Take Benefit Watts Up or Benefit High Beam and highlight under your eyes and above your cheek bones with a little highlighter. It will give your face a bright glow that will look like you spent an hour doing your makeup.
4. Next take some fabulous blush, I chose NARS Angelika and apply the blush generously.
5. Curl your eyelashes! I love the eyelash curler above which is by tweezerman. THE BEST! Then apply some great Mascara. For quick makeup I prefer Maybelline The Falsies in Very Black.
6. Lastly you need a great dark gloss for those lips. Any of Revlon’s super lustrous glosses will work. This will give your lips a fun pop.
There you have 5 minute makeup or even less! You can be out the door and look like a million bucks without spending a ton of time getting ready! Who doesn’t love a time saver?
What are your getting ready quick tips?
I have a pretty simple beauty routine that I follow and one easy way I do that is using the compacts that are meant for green eyes and have three or so colors in them. So then I can do each side and middle of my eye from one compact. Makes it easy 🙂
Some BB creams I have tried leave me feeling greasy. Does this one do that?
My beauty routine is pretty simple. I use only lipstick, especially, on Summer. I’m pretty allergic to creams and powders.
All of these are great products! I love using the Watt’s Highlighter.
bb cream is amazing…totally cut down my morning routine!
I love me some quick tips! Thanks!
Take care,

Thanks for sharing this! Pinning!
i have a 5 min makeup routine as well….love it! i love that my makeup doesn’t take me ages in the morning and leaves me feeling fresh and polished.
Sounds great – I love the BB Cream for quick days! <3
I need me some of that concealer!
I love quick tips since I’ve normally got about 5 minutes to get dressed in the morning 🙂
Your five-minute routine looks very similar to my “date-night” routine…. Clearly I am slacking in the primping department… 🙂
Love this! I never have time for anything more then 5 minutes! I’m going to check out this Revlon gloss as I haven’t heard of it before!
My daily routine is pretty similar… I moisturize, bb cream, eye liner, mascara, eye shadow and lipstick… I usually only wear blush if I put on foundation. Sometimes I even skip the bb cream.
never leave the house without lip gloss or lip balm.
Falsies are my go-to drug store mascara! I prefer clinique or bare minerals, but its a cheaper version I like almost as much!
Great tips! Being a busy mom means having to go go go in the morning
Love that BB cream too! Will have to go out and try that mascara and concealer. 🙂
I just started using that BB cream and I love it!
I’m going to try this! I pretty much have all those except the nars concealer. My usual routine takes about 20 minutes. Gotta cut it down a bit!
BB cream is my favorite 🙂
Since I normally don’t wear makeup, this could be really great for when I actually want to, for parties and stuff, and it still doesn’t take too long! Thanks!

I love 5 minute routines!! And the Falsies mascara is one of my faves.
Totally forgot about Watt’s Up, I love it!
I need to master a quicker makeup routine! Great tips!! 🙂
I love this! And I have been looking for new BB Creams to try so I will definitely be using this one!
I’ve heard so many positive things on BB cream! I need to try some stat!
I just recently got the same highlighter! I love it!
I’m a huge fan of getting ready in less than 10 minutes so this was perfect for me. Thanks!
Great tips. The faster the better!
