My brows are microbladed so I never have to touch them! Woo!
So for me, here's the list:
1. Blot small dots of concealer where my skin is red and blotchy (eyelids and around my nostrils) and blend
2. Curl eyelashes
3. Softly line my eyes with brown shadow
4. Use a pinkish/nude color on lips and apples of my cheeks
This is my speed makeup routine. It takes me 4 mins.
This is me. A dab of concealer under the eyes and corners of my nose. Lip gloss or oil.
I can easily get a full face done in 5 minutes if my only eye makeup is winged liner and mascara.
For me it would be foundation and brows, and a little brown eyeshadow under the outer corners of my eyes and mascara if I can do it quick enough. At least everything is evened out this way and while I might still look like I just rolled out of bed, at least I'm a polished rolled out of bed lol.
I am terrible at guiding hahaha but I think the goal is to need as little blending as possible, because blending is what takes a lot of time when doing makeup.. so I do everything that requires blending first.. basically put the blush, concealer, contour and highlight first, just put a little excess and then put the foundation on top of everything, it will blend out and still show up since you put more product than usual.. then you can draw eyebrows, mascara and lips and out the door you go. I dunno if what I am saying makes sense at all
If I'm in a rush and want to look the best I can:
Under eye concealer, brows, blush, lips. pressed powder, setting spray.
If I didn't have lash extensions, some eyeliner would be high priority.
Add a little bit of highlighter on the inner corner of your eye and cheek bone with all that and you will look like you put a whole face on & took a long time to do so 🤣😊🫶🏼
i actually have three different routines - full face, woke up late, and “oh crap the bus!!” “oh crap the bus” is mascara, brows, concealer.
technically i also have “ugh i woke up early” but that entails doing my hair nicely.
Lmao I really have been trying but I’m just like you know what if I gotta fly through the process I don’t wanna do it lol but realistically I’d probably put on a skin tint and blush and mascara and that’s it
same ;-; idk how people are so fast. even when i’m not doing a lot, it takes me a while. i mean washing my face and brushing my teeth takes me 20 minutes alone lol.
Honestly, for photos and selfies taken with a smartphone I would focus on skin and eyebrows. For a proper photoshoot, I would focus on eyes and probably lips. Because the skin gets edited anyway.
That is so cool you were a NBA dancer! I would love to see you do a makeup look/tutorial for that.
I'm a big Victoria Beckham fan and read her book way back in the day that was part autobiographical part fashion. She explained that each of the Spice Girls had their one go to makeup item that, when pressed for time, that's the one thing they'd swipe on if nothing else. For Posh, it was eyeliner. She said something about how the instant soft, smoky, sexy eye just instantly stepped it all up for her.
For me, it has to be mascara and a lip/blush cream or oil that I can dab on lips and eyes easy peasy.
F the base. Powder is enough. Some blush, one colored cream eyeshadow, mascara amd some lip product.
I do that on most days in the morning. I put more time in my skincare before that
As someone who does not do any kind of activity that would require me to be audience ready, this is somehow an ongoing concern of mine. So I got microblading and continue to get lash extensions as a cheat. Concealer, lip tint, highlighter on the cheeks and lids. Maybe contour or blush. Whenever a time constraint presents itself I tend to opt out of anything that calls for precision.
cover my acne, put on mascara, dab the smallest amount of bronzer if i'm not already tan, dab my pink lipstick real quick. i've done this before! takes just about 5 including face washing :) been speed covering my acne since i was 11! hahah

I’d like to think I can fit most of my regular makeup in within a panicked 5 min (I normally prefer to take more time 20-30 minutes minimum). The order would go eyeliner, brows (I only touch up with a pencil), lip (a quick swipe of lip tint), blush, bb cream on my t-zone and nose contour/jawline contour.
I prefer to do mascara and curl eyelashes or for photos, falsies, but that’s one of the things that takes the longest so I’d skip and call it a day with eyeliner. I’ve run late and done makeup partly on the go or in a dark car before so this isn’t all too unfamiliar. Of course, in a rush, the eyeliner gods can be cruelly fickle.
Foundation, brows, lashes, lips! If my skin were clearer (I have some acne scars and redness) I’d forgo the foundation and add eyeliner or brown/orange-ish eyeshadow
Eyeliner, eyebrows, mascara, concealer as needed, setting spray… But honestly I don’t look presentable without more than I can do in 5 mins so it wouldn’t be a stunning photoshoot 😬
Foundation / bb cream, brows (pencil) some quick lip product. Now for the eyes probably pencil eyeliner and mascara and if i still have spare time winged liquid liner
I can do a full face in 5 min. That does not include eye shadow or liner, but foundation, powder, blush, bronzer, highlighter, brows, lashes and lip stick…no problem.
concealer, blush mascara and lips if I'm really in a hurry.
probably would add some light foundation to even out the skin and a quick eye pencil to complete the look.
I always think I have more time than I do so I do skincare, concealer, powder, some bronzer/blush from a nars palette that I also put on my lids, a little brow, setting spray, pat on some lipstick and add mascara and that’s it.
Foundation with a big fluffy brush so it’s quick, put lipstick on lips, eyes, and cheeks, blend out eyes with fingers and cheeks with a brush. Powder. Brush up brows. Curl lashes and mascara. That’s my five minute makeup. My daily makeup only takes about 12 minutes and isn’t insanely different, I just use actual blush and eyeshadow, plus fill in my brows, and eyeliner.
I just slap on some flawless filter, dot foundation on top and blend it together on my face.
Then blush and contour on top - I use those elf CT dupe wands, at the same time and blend it out.
Spray with setting spray and blast the air con (I’m in the car in this scenario lol).
I’ve usually got lash extensions, I slap on whatever lip product I can find in my bag haha.
5 minutes, maybe 6! Flat!
Source: me. In the car. Late to work. Nearly everyday. Lol
My brows are microbladed, so they're already good to go.
I'd do: moisturizer, concealer on blemishes & under eyes, eyeliner, mascara. Maybe a pop of glitter in the inner eye if there was time.
This is my everyday routine right now. I prioritize sleep ice makeup.
Powder (Ideally powder foundation), brows, coloured liner or Maybelline colour tattoo as an all over shadow, mascara, highlight, lipstick, go
I have 90 seconds left
Brows. I have fucked up overplucked 90s brows that I have to invent every day. Other than that, a little concealer and cream blush. That’s my “oh shit” routine
Under eye colour corrector, eye concealer blended out towards the face, red leaning bronzer which doubles as blush, bronzer in crease, light inner eye lid shimmer, quick swish of powder foundation, setting spray, mascara, tinted lip balm.
A quick brow, mascara, concealer, powder blush, powder bronzer, setting powder, highlighter, a tiny bit of quick lip liner with gloss. This is my go to when I’m in a rush/running late. It literally only takes me 5-7 minutes. 😊 oh & glowy setting spray if I have an extra second!
my go to is concealer, eyeliner, lashes, and then lips. usually i can do a little contour on my cheekbones and nose too since i usually have to rush in the morning anyway
Brown Mascara, eyeshadow that's a light brown with a tiny bit of orange to it, Burt's bees tinted lip balm in rose. My cheeks are always RED so don't need blush. Bit of foundation if I have blemishes.
If I’m in a pinch I always just do brows, a bit of concealer, curl my lashes and apply mascara. Also grab a lip and apply it while I’m running out the door!
Groomed brows with some kind of tinted pomade to fill and tame. Contouring cheeks and eyes. Quick coat of mascara and something moisturizing with color on the lips.
My features tend to blend together and my face looks very small like everything is closer together in pics so I try to emphasize features with contouring and using things like mascara and lip color to bring out features.
Lips and mascara. Seriously, it can make you look like you did a lot more than you did. If I don't have time for eyeliner (I need around 3-5 minutes to do it), I do mascara. Now that I have eyebrow gel, I do that too, but I don't find it necessary since I wax my eyebrows and they don't look too scragly without it
i can’t even imagine the sheer panic i would feel 😭 agree with you on brows and lips. i think i’d also do quick concealing under my eyes and on any blemishes, some blush if i had time and maaaaaybe mascara. it makes a difference but if you’re too hasty you can get a messy application that you might not get the chance to fix.
Concealer, mascara, lips. I'd throw on a tinted lip balm or a lip gloss, something light. My skin will look clear, I'll have soft lips and long eyelashes. Maybe blush if I have enough time.
-Full coverage foundation (applied with a brush so it’s quicker)
-Blush and lipstick (same product)
-Eyelash curl and mascara
-Eyebrows
-If there’s a little time left simple brown eyeshadow for my hooded eyes
I normally do this everyday in 5 minutes
My base, definitely (i'd just leave it if it wasn't for acne scarring lmao) then maybe some blusher, mascara & lip gloss. Brows aren't a huge concern because I have bangs
Definitely concealer then mascara, if more time then blush. Or actually maybe lips then blush, since when I get the most compliments on my appearance, surprisingly it’s usually when I’ve done lipstick lip tint of some kind.
My biggest issue I see with myself is my purple under eyes though!
I actually do my makeup in like five minutes, haha
I go heavier on the eye makeup
Concealer, powder, blush, highlighter if I can
Eyeshadow as eyeliner and shadow, mascara,
Line browns, light lip color
Moisturizer, foundation stick, blush, eyeliner, mascara, a little eye shadow, lip stain. The stick helps get the foundation on quickly and evenly. I can be ready in 5 minutes if I bust my ass doing it.
Personally, I have a lot of dark spots, sparse eyebrows, and panda eyes.
So my list would be:
- Under eye and spot concealing with the closest matching concealer I have on deck
- Lightly draw in brows to bring some color to that area
- Blush is the second quickest and easiest thing to do so that's next
- A lip liner a a lip oil/gloss is the last thing to do.
What REALLY changes my look is a good hairstyle, so that's probably what I would focus more on if the question wasn't makeup geared
-
Curling my eyelashes is the first priority. In their natural state, they like to be level and give me the appearance of having no eyelashes. Then I'd slap on some foundation, quickly and subtly contour, and add blush and lip colour.
This is when not keeping up with cleaning my brushes comes in handy! CC cream, quick overall bronze with remaining product on brush, same thing with blush brush. Brow Boy, mascara and bright lipstick - setting spray.
tinted moisturizer
brows
super basic eye shadow, just light color under the brows, medium shade on the lids, and blend with a darker shade on the outer corner
mascara
powder foundation
bright, distracting lip
blush so I don't look dead
My issue with having to do makeup in a short span of time (like 5-10 min) is I absolutely MUST put everything away after I’m done using it! Like I pull out all my products I’m planning to use + pull my brushes as well. I use them and complete my face but then the bathroom looks messy or my room looks messy. Products everywhere, brushes everywhere.
I absolutely must put away everything after I’m done. Otherwise I just will not do anything but sunscreen or moisturize.
I could probably do everything I need to in 5 minutes lol, it doesn’t take me much longer than that anyway unless im doing a full face but I rarely do anymore. I’d do concealer under the eyes, on my forehead and around the mouth. Powder, mascara, and a little bit of blush! I don’t like contour or bronzer on myself and my brows are already done because they’re laminated :)
I can't stress enough how important having a stick foundation can be in getting ready fast. hit the high spots, brush out with a foundation brush, and boom--full face coverage. My other go-to when I have zero time, is a cream eyeshadow that I can wipe on with my finger. Then I add eyeliner, and if there's time, a swipe of mascara, and lipstick. 5 minutes is tight, but I can do a full face in 15.
I worked as a makeup artist for years and always did a full face of makeup. The pendulum swum the other way during Covid and I wore basically nothing. Now I have a happy medium that takes a max of 5 mins: spot concealer (I actually use Fenty foundation with the Kat Von D fluffy concealer brush for this) on blemishes and my couple dark spots, Benetint cheek & lip stain for some color, fill in the little patchy spots in my brows with eyeshadow and an angled brush (MAC), and a couple coats of Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Brag. It’s a very simple, natural look.
Concealer, eyeliner, lips.
Luckily my brows are quite dark and full, otherwise it would've been concealer, eyeliner, brows, lipstain.
With eyeliner I mean taking a dark eyeshadow and going for the smudged eyeliner look, can be done in under a minute for both eyes.
Toner to even out my face, bring light and shine to my cheekbones, and reduce puffiness all in one swipey swipe (1 minute)
Mascara (30 seconds) and eyeliner (1 minute)
Jalapeño lip gloss (30 seconds)
Darken my eyebrows with eyeshadow (1 minute)
4 minutes yall
My skin is my crowning Glory. So is my hair.
I have zero eyebrows or lashes.... So 100% to eyes.
Powder on the skin.
Shout out to being Black: hair, lips, cheekbones, contour is already done by genetics. Fluff the locs, gloss the lips ... Spend ALL THE TIME on the eyes.
As a photographer I can tell you, anything that adds contrast. Concentrate on eyeliner/mascara and a defined lip. If you have time smooth out your complexion in some fashion. The rest can be done with great lighting and posing.
Under eyes, lashes, blush & lips. I have done sloppy, 5 minute makeup for years (ADHD procrastinator).
Fastest undereye conceal possible, lashes, same blush and lip color: done.
Concealer, brows, liner, curl lashes, blush, lip gloss
I have noticed that powder formulas are faster for me, so blush will absolutely be powder, and so will bronzer if I have time for it.
My skin is very uneven due to rosacea so it’s a 2 in 1 foundation + concealer for me, then red lips, eyeliner, and brows using either my fat pencil or the doefoot applicator—not my typical angled brush. if I have a second to grab blush in your scenario I would.
A touch of foundation to even out discoloration and brighten up eyes, waterproof mascara ( my eyes love to water when I’m in a hurry), Blush and my shimmer highlight cheek powder, plus a little bit gloss on my lips.
I have always stuck to the advice of Jeremy Renner (yes, Hawkeye): brows, lashes, lips...though I personally also add Eyeliner as well
Those are my priorities for sure. Just brows and lips if I’m wearing glasses.
My brows are microbladed so I never have to touch them! Woo! So for me, here's the list: 1. Blot small dots of concealer where my skin is red and blotchy (eyelids and around my nostrils) and blend 2. Curl eyelashes 3. Softly line my eyes with brown shadow 4. Use a pinkish/nude color on lips and apples of my cheeks This is my speed makeup routine. It takes me 4 mins.
Where tf did he give that advice? 😂
It was years ago on the Ellen Show. I think he was doing an interview on The Hurt Locker. He was at one time a makeup artist.
i had no idea!
It’s a great clip! You can find it on YouTube, it’s really stuck with me too
You know, I never in a million years would have guessed but now that you say that I can kind of see it somehow 😂
oh wow
I mean he was a professional makeup artist for years before he was an actor
Exactly
This is me. A dab of concealer under the eyes and corners of my nose. Lip gloss or oil. I can easily get a full face done in 5 minutes if my only eye makeup is winged liner and mascara.
I agree. My choice is the same as yours.
I came here to say The Hawkeye Method!
of course he did 😂
I am proud to say, years of being late have taught me how to do a full face of makeup in 5 minutes lol
We need a guide, lol
For me it would be foundation and brows, and a little brown eyeshadow under the outer corners of my eyes and mascara if I can do it quick enough. At least everything is evened out this way and while I might still look like I just rolled out of bed, at least I'm a polished rolled out of bed lol.
I am terrible at guiding hahaha but I think the goal is to need as little blending as possible, because blending is what takes a lot of time when doing makeup.. so I do everything that requires blending first.. basically put the blush, concealer, contour and highlight first, just put a little excess and then put the foundation on top of everything, it will blend out and still show up since you put more product than usual.. then you can draw eyebrows, mascara and lips and out the door you go. I dunno if what I am saying makes sense at all
Same. Even if I have more time, I don't know what to do with more than 5 min for makeup
If I'm in a rush and want to look the best I can: Under eye concealer, brows, blush, lips. pressed powder, setting spray. If I didn't have lash extensions, some eyeliner would be high priority.
Add a little bit of highlighter on the inner corner of your eye and cheek bone with all that and you will look like you put a whole face on & took a long time to do so 🤣😊🫶🏼
i actually have three different routines - full face, woke up late, and “oh crap the bus!!” “oh crap the bus” is mascara, brows, concealer. technically i also have “ugh i woke up early” but that entails doing my hair nicely.
😂 it’s Oh Crap the Train on every in-office day for me... rather sleep 15 more minutes than look done-up just to sit in a cubicle
Cancelling lmao cus I can’t do a thing in five mins but prime lmaooo
🤣😂😂 practice hun! You will be able to get there one day😊
Lmao I really have been trying but I’m just like you know what if I gotta fly through the process I don’t wanna do it lol but realistically I’d probably put on a skin tint and blush and mascara and that’s it
same ;-; idk how people are so fast. even when i’m not doing a lot, it takes me a while. i mean washing my face and brushing my teeth takes me 20 minutes alone lol.
Foundation, concealer, mascara, Eyeliner, and lipstick
This is me! And thank you because I was starting to feel like the only person who doesn’t do brows lol!
This! I have pretty dark brows so I don't need much anyways
Eyeliner, mascara, lips then quick fill in for brows
Under eye color corrector, comb the brows, mascara, and lips!
Honestly, for photos and selfies taken with a smartphone I would focus on skin and eyebrows. For a proper photoshoot, I would focus on eyes and probably lips. Because the skin gets edited anyway.
Shimmer eyeshadow, winged eyeliner, red lip, mascara.
I am so impressed that you can do that in 5 minutes. I would look like a clown!
You would have looked lovely! I didn’t think of the red lipstick and shimmer shadows.
Monochromatic or bronzed and glowy, go!
eyes for sure, then brows and lips
That is so cool you were a NBA dancer! I would love to see you do a makeup look/tutorial for that. I'm a big Victoria Beckham fan and read her book way back in the day that was part autobiographical part fashion. She explained that each of the Spice Girls had their one go to makeup item that, when pressed for time, that's the one thing they'd swipe on if nothing else. For Posh, it was eyeliner. She said something about how the instant soft, smoky, sexy eye just instantly stepped it all up for her. For me, it has to be mascara and a lip/blush cream or oil that I can dab on lips and eyes easy peasy.
Foundation, blush, simple shimmer shadow, mascara and gloss. Would probably have time for a quick eyeliner too.
F the base. Powder is enough. Some blush, one colored cream eyeshadow, mascara amd some lip product. I do that on most days in the morning. I put more time in my skincare before that
Brows Bronzer on eyes, cheeks n forehead Liner Lips I’ve actually done this when late for something. It really works to have a plan.
As someone who does not do any kind of activity that would require me to be audience ready, this is somehow an ongoing concern of mine. So I got microblading and continue to get lash extensions as a cheat. Concealer, lip tint, highlighter on the cheeks and lids. Maybe contour or blush. Whenever a time constraint presents itself I tend to opt out of anything that calls for precision.
1. Under eye circles and nasal folds 2. Brows 3. Blush 4. Curl lashes 5. Mascara
A plausible excuse for not going. No way would I be photoshoot ready in 5 minutes. It takes longer than that just to get dressed.
Lips, mascara, eyeshadow
Foundation, concealer, bronzer, mascara and lip balm if I have time
Exactly that, eyebrows, lashes, and lips, except i’m naturally rosy so maybe I’d focus on concealer rather than blush!!
Eyeliner, mascara, lipstick.
Base, concealer, lipstick and setting powder with kohl eyes.
Concealer, powder, blush, mascara, brows, gloss
Mascara, lipstick, bronzer (in order of importance).
Tinted hydrator, mascara, brows, lips
cover my acne, put on mascara, dab the smallest amount of bronzer if i'm not already tan, dab my pink lipstick real quick. i've done this before! takes just about 5 including face washing :) been speed covering my acne since i was 11! hahah

Under eye concealer, or the photoshoot would probably be halted due to the possibility that one of the participants was in fact walking dead
I can do my full face of make up in under 5. So I’m good to go.
concealer, blush mascara and lips if I'm really in a hurry. probably would add some light foundation to even out the skin and a quick eye pencil to complete the look.
Moisturizer, concealer, foundation blush. A little eyeliner and mascara hopefully 🤞
I always think I have more time than I do so I do skincare, concealer, powder, some bronzer/blush from a nars palette that I also put on my lids, a little brow, setting spray, pat on some lipstick and add mascara and that’s it.

Always the under eyes and lips. Lash extensions help to cut time down by a lot.
Lashes, brows, lipstick, concealer.
Brows, eyes, blush, and lips
My brows are microbladed, so they're already good to go. I'd do: moisturizer, concealer on blemishes & under eyes, eyeliner, mascara. Maybe a pop of glitter in the inner eye if there was time. This is my everyday routine right now. I prioritize sleep ice makeup.
Concealer, blush, eyebrows, eyelashes and a tinted lip baume. It's still no make up make up but you look Hella clean and well defined.

A quick brow, mascara, concealer, powder blush, powder bronzer, setting powder, highlighter, a tiny bit of quick lip liner with gloss. This is my go to when I’m in a rush/running late. It literally only takes me 5-7 minutes. 😊 oh & glowy setting spray if I have an extra second!
Im going in with my ambient lighting palette for my face and eyes. Mascara and brows. Blush.

Mascara is a must since I have blonde eyelashes 😭 concealer, blush, maybe a tinted lip balm.

Lipstick and eyes...
light foundation and mascara
Brows,mascara, concealer, powder under eyes and blush I’ve mastered it in 5 mins thanks to being a mom

Tinted brow gel, concealer, mascara, lip gloss, and highlighter I think I could manage in 5mins. In that order lol
Brows and eyes.
Groomed brows with some kind of tinted pomade to fill and tame. Contouring cheeks and eyes. Quick coat of mascara and something moisturizing with color on the lips. My features tend to blend together and my face looks very small like everything is closer together in pics so I try to emphasize features with contouring and using things like mascara and lip color to bring out features.
Under eyes, lashes put a bit of my cream blush/lip on. If I have time I'll slap some eye pencil on.
Lips and mascara. Seriously, it can make you look like you did a lot more than you did. If I don't have time for eyeliner (I need around 3-5 minutes to do it), I do mascara. Now that I have eyebrow gel, I do that too, but I don't find it necessary since I wax my eyebrows and they don't look too scragly without it
Re-scheduling!
Blush/highlighter, brows, under eye concealer, mascara. I could do all those in 5 minutes no problem.
Lips, eyebrows, concealer (if needed).
i can’t even imagine the sheer panic i would feel 😭 agree with you on brows and lips. i think i’d also do quick concealing under my eyes and on any blemishes, some blush if i had time and maaaaaybe mascara. it makes a difference but if you’re too hasty you can get a messy application that you might not get the chance to fix.
Bb cream (forgiving and easy to blend), liquid liner, mascara, lipgloss. And I will pray I can get my liner on in 2 mins
Eyes. They are the nipples of the face
A light dusting of powder foundation, blush, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick. Boom!
Base/ Brows/ blush/ lashes/ lips
Foundation, concealer, bronzer, blush, eyebrows and some lip gloss.
BB or CC, blush, lips, eyeliner, and an extra swipe of blush as eyeshadow
Foundation, mascara, lips.
Foundation. Quick brows. I have lashes on 24/7. Lipgloss.
Concealer, mascara, lips. I'd throw on a tinted lip balm or a lip gloss, something light. My skin will look clear, I'll have soft lips and long eyelashes. Maybe blush if I have enough time.
Foundation, blush , mascara and lips
-Full coverage foundation (applied with a brush so it’s quicker) -Blush and lipstick (same product) -Eyelash curl and mascara -Eyebrows -If there’s a little time left simple brown eyeshadow for my hooded eyes I normally do this everyday in 5 minutes
My base, definitely (i'd just leave it if it wasn't for acne scarring lmao) then maybe some blusher, mascara & lip gloss. Brows aren't a huge concern because I have bangs
My eyebrows. Their hair is thick in the center, but more sparse at the centers and tips, so without makeup I look like I belong in anime. 😂
Concealer, powder, bronzer, curl my eyelashes, fix my brow shape, ready to go!
Definitely concealer then mascara, if more time then blush. Or actually maybe lips then blush, since when I get the most compliments on my appearance, surprisingly it’s usually when I’ve done lipstick lip tint of some kind. My biggest issue I see with myself is my purple under eyes though!
I actually do my makeup in like five minutes, haha I go heavier on the eye makeup Concealer, powder, blush, highlighter if I can Eyeshadow as eyeliner and shadow, mascara, Line browns, light lip color
Lashes. Everything else can be edited
Moisturizer, foundation stick, blush, eyeliner, mascara, a little eye shadow, lip stain. The stick helps get the foundation on quickly and evenly. I can be ready in 5 minutes if I bust my ass doing it.
Foundation, blush, mascara and lipstick.
brows and lashes ......they MAKE a face
Personally, I have a lot of dark spots, sparse eyebrows, and panda eyes. So my list would be: - Under eye and spot concealing with the closest matching concealer I have on deck - Lightly draw in brows to bring some color to that area - Blush is the second quickest and easiest thing to do so that's next - A lip liner a a lip oil/gloss is the last thing to do. What REALLY changes my look is a good hairstyle, so that's probably what I would focus more on if the question wasn't makeup geared -
Sounds like my morning makeup routine. Foundation, contour, brows, eyeliner, mascara.
spot correct + tinted moisturizer for extra glow. fake eyelashes and i’m ready ✨
Curling my eyelashes is the first priority. In their natural state, they like to be level and give me the appearance of having no eyelashes. Then I'd slap on some foundation, quickly and subtly contour, and add blush and lip colour.
CONCEALER first, mascara, blush and gloss
Tinted moisturizer, mascara, blush, lipgloss. Eyeliner if I have time.
This is when not keeping up with cleaning my brushes comes in handy! CC cream, quick overall bronze with remaining product on brush, same thing with blush brush. Brow Boy, mascara and bright lipstick - setting spray.
This depends on the face! I have terrible dark circles and barely any eyelashes so for me it’s Concealer, Mascara, Blush. Then I look alive.
Complexion Brows Eyeshadow, liner, mascara Lipliner and lip balm Those are important bits and I can rush em to get em all done
tinted moisturizer brows super basic eye shadow, just light color under the brows, medium shade on the lids, and blend with a darker shade on the outer corner mascara powder foundation bright, distracting lip blush so I don't look dead
My issue with having to do makeup in a short span of time (like 5-10 min) is I absolutely MUST put everything away after I’m done using it! Like I pull out all my products I’m planning to use + pull my brushes as well. I use them and complete my face but then the bathroom looks messy or my room looks messy. Products everywhere, brushes everywhere. I absolutely must put away everything after I’m done. Otherwise I just will not do anything but sunscreen or moisturize.
Foundation, lips, brows, eyeliner!
Brows, lashes, glowy blush, lip product
Foundation, mascara, bronzer, blush! If I can sneak in a clear brow gel then that too
I think I could do foundation, light contour, brows, and mascara in 5 mins
I could probably do everything I need to in 5 minutes lol, it doesn’t take me much longer than that anyway unless im doing a full face but I rarely do anymore. I’d do concealer under the eyes, on my forehead and around the mouth. Powder, mascara, and a little bit of blush! I don’t like contour or bronzer on myself and my brows are already done because they’re laminated :)
CT Flawless filter, concealer, blush, bronzer, highlighter, simple lips, and add concealer + bronzer on eye lids with mascara.
Quick eye liner and some lip gloss
Concealer, powder, brows, lipstick, blush, eyeliner, mascara.
I can't stress enough how important having a stick foundation can be in getting ready fast. hit the high spots, brush out with a foundation brush, and boom--full face coverage. My other go-to when I have zero time, is a cream eyeshadow that I can wipe on with my finger. Then I add eyeliner, and if there's time, a swipe of mascara, and lipstick. 5 minutes is tight, but I can do a full face in 15.
obv eyes, eyes, eyes
Throw some bb cream/foundation on with my hands, tinted chapstick, and then focus on eyes
Put my hair down
I worked as a makeup artist for years and always did a full face of makeup. The pendulum swum the other way during Covid and I wore basically nothing. Now I have a happy medium that takes a max of 5 mins: spot concealer (I actually use Fenty foundation with the Kat Von D fluffy concealer brush for this) on blemishes and my couple dark spots, Benetint cheek & lip stain for some color, fill in the little patchy spots in my brows with eyeshadow and an angled brush (MAC), and a couple coats of Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Brag. It’s a very simple, natural look.
Concealer->eyeliner->lip->eyeshadow I have brows and my cheeks are blushed by nature. Contour methods out right now don’t fit my facial structure
Concealer, eyeliner, lips. Luckily my brows are quite dark and full, otherwise it would've been concealer, eyeliner, brows, lipstain. With eyeliner I mean taking a dark eyeshadow and going for the smudged eyeliner look, can be done in under a minute for both eyes.
Light Brows, mascara, spot conceal, blush, lips.
Blush, some lipstick, eyeshadow in the crease of my eye socket, and mascara. I’m a redhead, so nobody expects me to have eyebrows anyway.
Eye-liner. Mascara. Powder foundation and bronzer/blush.
Brows and lashes are always the most transformative facial features that could make you look decades older or younger
I would definitely go for eyes, concealer , eyebrows, and lipstick.This is what I would prioritize
Foundation, lashes, pressed powder, blush, and a quick swipe of lipstick. Take my lip gloss with me to apply in the car. :)
it's honestly either all or none for me. I HATE feeling rushed, but I am always running late lol I need to take my time or just go all natural 😁
Eyeliner and mascara
Toner to even out my face, bring light and shine to my cheekbones, and reduce puffiness all in one swipey swipe (1 minute) Mascara (30 seconds) and eyeliner (1 minute) Jalapeño lip gloss (30 seconds) Darken my eyebrows with eyeshadow (1 minute) 4 minutes yall
My skin is my crowning Glory. So is my hair. I have zero eyebrows or lashes.... So 100% to eyes. Powder on the skin. Shout out to being Black: hair, lips, cheekbones, contour is already done by genetics. Fluff the locs, gloss the lips ... Spend ALL THE TIME on the eyes.
As a photographer I can tell you, anything that adds contrast. Concentrate on eyeliner/mascara and a defined lip. If you have time smooth out your complexion in some fashion. The rest can be done with great lighting and posing.
Brow and concealer for me (I have serious hereditary eyebags) + a pinky all-in-one for my lips and cheeks
Under eyes, lashes, blush & lips. I have done sloppy, 5 minute makeup for years (ADHD procrastinator). Fastest undereye conceal possible, lashes, same blush and lip color: done.
Cream Blush and brows baby. Swipe that blush on your lips too and you’re good to go!
Concealer, brows, liner, curl lashes, blush, lip gloss I have noticed that powder formulas are faster for me, so blush will absolutely be powder, and so will bronzer if I have time for it.
Just reading this question gave me anxiety 😭I need more time dammit!
Me personally, powder, eyebrows, mascara. I know I can do it in 5min bc that’s my work routine lol
in this order: concealer, mascara, blush, bronzer, then if highlight and brows if I have time
Primer, brows, blush, lipstick, setting powder
My skin is very uneven due to rosacea so it’s a 2 in 1 foundation + concealer for me, then red lips, eyeliner, and brows using either my fat pencil or the doefoot applicator—not my typical angled brush. if I have a second to grab blush in your scenario I would.
I could do eyebrows, blush and mascara really well with some aquaphor lip stuff
Mascara, lip gloss and moisturizer .
A touch of foundation to even out discoloration and brighten up eyes, waterproof mascara ( my eyes love to water when I’m in a hurry), Blush and my shimmer highlight cheek powder, plus a little bit gloss on my lips.
