My 5 minute face

A few weeks ago on Making it Lovely, Nicole posted about the products she uses for her 5 minute face and it was a great. I love reading about what women use on a day to day basis and you might even find a new product!

So I thought I'd share with you what I use each day, which seems like it might be a lot but it really literally only takes me 5 minutes.


Before I apply I always moisturize. It's a must.


top right: Loreal Studio Secrets Face Primer, I swear by this stuff. It's a great base and covers pores. And it's lightweight. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Compact, I break out so easily and this has great coverage without feeling heavy and cakey. Mac Pro Longwear Concealor is a miracle worker and a little bit goes a long way. And for cheek color I use Pixi Sheer Cheek Gel, I LOVE this stuff. I use Sun Kissed and you really look like you just left the beach. The gel is a fun transition away from powder blush, and it just feels so much nicer on your skin and lasts a long time.


top right: Mac Eyeshadow in Saddle, I use this for my eyebrows. For me it's the perfect color to compliment red hair. Then I apply Mac Eyeshadow in Vanilla on lid and as a brow highlight. Maybelline Gel Eyeliner is my favorite, it gives you the perfect winged liner look. And Covergirl Lash Blast in Very Black. It gives you seriously full lashes.


And for lips, it really depends on the day. Lately it's been lipstick in Siren by Covergirl, Maybelline's Coral Crush or Boots No. 7 Tangerine Twist lip gloss.

And that's it!

What are some of your go to make up musts?

Wednesday Tip

Ladies, today we are talking makeup.


And how to give your face a quick lift and cover your under eye circles. 
Secret tricks! 



And I am showing you the brutal truth...
me without foundation! It's scary! And I've warned you.


This is me before: (and meet my major under eye circles!)


First step: 
Use your concealer and draw a triangle. Start at the corner of your eye, to the corner of your nostril and back to the corner of your eye again. 


Step two: 
Blend in your triangle. Blending your concealer upwards (always upwards).


Step three: Set with powder. 


Step four: 
Finish with your everyday makeup and your done!



It's like magic.
Reason # 111 why makeup is so good. 

Happy Wednesday!
