Fun fact: I’m just not a makeup girlie. It was never something I got into. BUT…I still like a little something something. So that’s where my 5 minute makeup comes in! Nothing is better than a stress free morning!
The 5 Minute Makeup Routine
Let me back up a little bit. Before you start your 5 minute makeup routine you should definitely do your skincare routine. I have a fairly simple one that I really stick to every day. Having a good skincare routine is SO important, and I’m happy I started taking care of my skin in my mid-20s.
- Merit Great Skin Glow Serum This product is the real deal for me. I noticed my sister had it, so obviously I used it. I think I purchased it on my phone then and there. I love starting my 5 minute makeup routine with this serum. It gives me the perfect dewy look and a great base for makeup.
- Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops I’ve been using these bronzing drops for almost a year now and think they’re the perfect addition to this process. Just mix a few drops in with your moisturizer (this is my favorite!!!), and BAM! It gives some bronzed goddess energy without having to fully self tan. I will say it fades as the day goes on, but I guess that’s kind of to be expected?
- Saie Dew Blush in Spicy Over the last month-ish or so, I’ve been doing the “sunburnt” make up look. I love blending this in on my cheeks, hairline, eyelids, and nose. It really does give you the perfect sunburnt look without the burn;)
- Ilia In Full Micro Tip Eyebrow Pencil I love a good brow. And I love, love, love a good DARK brow. To be completely honest, I don’t LOVE this pencil. But it’s a solid one, and I don’t want it to go to waste. I’m not going to rebuy it, BUT this step will always in my 5 minute makeup routine.
- Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush In addition to a good brow, I love color on the cheek. I’m so happy I bought this blush because I really do love it. I got the color Persimmon a few months ago and just purchased Stockholm during the sale!
- U Beauty Lip Plasma Okay okay, I know this is a little pricey, but it is SO good. I put it on before getting dressed for work, and I definitely still have it on by the time I get to my office. It’s the perfect finishing touch! A little goes a LONG way. I’ve been using pretty much every day and still have a ton left in the tube. Use code DANA20 for 20% off your first purchase!!!
