15 Min. Minimal Makeup Routine Before Heading To The Office

You snooze your annoying alarm clock a couple of times; it’s ok we all been there.Looking at the alarm and realizing you barely have time to put on your game-face for work, you start to sweat.Don’t panic worrying about running late to work.Here is a 15 min. makeup routine you can honestly stick to.

COMMIT TO A Morning SKIN CARE ROUTINE BEFORE YOU PAINT YOUR FACE(3 min max)

To get a perfect composition blend, you have to make sure your face is as clean as a blank canvas.The first thing to do is study your face in the mirror. When you study your face in the mirror, it helps guide you to decide your skin type.Once you have determined your skin type, conduct some research to buy the right products that will make your skin happy.For example, I have combination/blemish prone skin, so I try to buy products that will put my best face forward.

Luckily there are some products out there in beauty-ville that helps us not waste hours thinking if it will harm your skin.One of the products is Fresh’s Soy Face Cleanser. I swear by this cleanser! I admit, I cheated using different cleansers a couple of times and ended up beating myself up.It cleanses the skin without risking the essential moisture of the skin itself.It also doubles up as a makeup remover so you can kiss the makeup remover wipes goodbye.

Although the Soy Face Cleanser seems like a miracle, you still have to moisturize and use sunscreen.If you want a moisturizer and sunscreen all in one, the best one to use is Cetaphil’s Daily Facial Moisturizer With SPF 50.The oil free, not greasy and fragrance-free makes it durable to wear under make-up.

Now You Can Paint Your Blank Canvas

1.Conceal (1 min)

If you have dark circles and blemishes then using a concealer is a must.It diminishes the look of problem areas like a snap chat filter.My concealer choice is L’oreal’s True Match Bare Naturale because it ‘s lightweight and super easy to use.The concealer works as a disappearing act for your skin imperfections which helps for a smooth look.For days I’m running on no sleep, I add an extra step and use NYX’s Highlight & Contour Pro Singles in cream it helps me looks rested throughout the day.

2.Foundation (2 Min)

To help blend your concealer with your skin use a foundation. I’ve started to use Maybelline’s Super Stay Better Skin Powder thanks to Influenster for letting me try it out for free.I honestly fell in love with the light, airy texture.The foundation feels like I’m not wearing makeup at all. It’s so durable it adapts to my busy lifestyle.Just picture yourself,  staying late at work and deciding to grab dinner after to vent about your long day.The powder will stay put, no need for the touch-up.

3. Bake Your Skin and not in the oven silly (4 Min)

Rimmel’s first Sculpting & Highlighting Kit designed by Kate Moss is so easy to use; you will want to claim as your make-up cheat sheet.The kit also helps not pressing the replay button on YouTube make-up tutorials.On the back of the packaging, it shows an outline of where you should highlight, contour and blush.Since I discovered this miracle, it helped me save hours of prepping.(Don’t forget to blend everything  after 4 minutes)
