5 MINUTES OR LESS

5 minutes to me means that I can do only necessary things. . .

Ofc I have time to brush my hair and wash my face with cold water. For sure I never skip my mascara. Luckily Im wearing my specs so half of the face is covered so I don’t have to worry too much. With five minutes this is basically it, before leaving the house spritz on some perfume. Usually I like to have more time to get ready, I don’t like to look too unfinished and not too pimped up either. Just playfully in between those two.

I feel more confident if i can spent 30 minutes in front of the mirror. If I need to attend more important meeting then I spend good few hours, ofc.

So today let me show you what I would do!

if you have only few minutes to spend on beauty then focus on one thing ---- Things which needs some coverage or highlighting.

To achieve Clean and fresh looking complexion is most important foundation, which helps to cover some redness and imperfections. If your foundation does not cover dark under eye circles or puffy eyes use undereye highlighting pen ex. YSL Touche Eclat.

SPARKLE IN YOUR EYES

Every makeup artist owns a good sharp eye pencil or Kohl pencil in their kit. This is the speedy makeup tip from pro. I always love to use on my clients dusty pink lip pencil, greysh/ashy brow pencil and dark grey eye pencil. More effect look can be achieved with blue or black pencil, mainly because dark colour around the eyes makes your eyes pop more and more rested and fresh. And dark eyes are always in.

LIPS

If eye makeup isn’t your cup of tea and theres no time to freshen up your base makeup, add some color to your lips before meeting. To get luscious lips I love Givenchy lipgloss range which has easy application. More long-lasting makeup by Loreal x Balmain Color Riche new range lipsticks.

ONE COLOUR

If theres no time to use multicolour palettes and different makeup products , get one magnified makeup box, which you can put together multipurpose colours for everyday for cheeks, eyes & lips.

SPRAY YOR FACE

A sip of freshening spray at air con office can feel like water to a athlete after marathon. If you skin feels tight, spray your face with Avene Eau Thermale water. Its also suitable after sun bed or for irritated skin.

MANICURE

If theres important meeting, pinch some time to get your hands manicured. Even with few minutes you can wash your hands and put on some hand cream. if you have time for nail polish choose OPI "Red hot Rio" , "Lost in Lombard" or CND Vinylux weekly nail polish in Romantique. Just in case, always carry a nail file in your bag.

HAIR

If your hair do, since morning has loosen up by day you will find some help from styling products. Hair upside-down spray so Balmain Hair Session Spray Strong into your hair and fix your hair again. If your hair feels creesy “wash” it with Oribe dry shampoo, and style it or put up to ponytail or bun, or rock more messy hair look. You can also add few curls.
