Easy 5 Minute Makeup Routines

Staying in? Us too! Even though we’re spending more time indoors and close to home, we’re not ditching our makeup routines completely. Rather, we’re paring things down to be more minimal, yet more customized. Keep reading for 5-minutes-or-less no-makeup makeup looks for whatever activities you have scheduled on your calendar (or for spur of the moment activities)!

Google Hangouts Work Meeting

Stuck in back-to-back video conferences? Try this fresh, pulled-together look that won’t require touch-ups throughout the day. 

• Use fingers or a brush to apply HD Mineral Foundation Stick (shade: mesa 7W) as foundation, or use only in targeted areas for concealing. 
• Lightly fill in brows with Precise Micro Browliner (shade: dark brown) for subtle definition.
• Use a brush to sweep Blush (shade: sweet) onto apples of the cheeks (and even on eyes) for a flush of color.
• Apply a coat of Volumizing Mascara to upper and lower lashes to open up the eyes. 
• Swipe on Lipstick (shade: french nude): Pick a neutral like French Nude for your-lips-but-better, or a bright shade like Bullseye for a bold statement.

Zoom Wine + Cheese Nights

Girl’s night out? More like girl’s night in: Go natural, or go bold for virtual video get-togethers with friends or family (and furry friends too).

• Use fingers or a brush to even skin with a light layer of Tinted Primer SPF 30 (shade: medium).
• Take advantage of the versatility of our 4-in-1 Brow Quad: (brown) Use the Dual Brow/Liner brush to create a customized brow color using the 2 shades, tame brows into place with Brow Wax and strategically place the cream highlighter on lids or anywhere on the face in need of a subtle highlight.
• Pick a Cream Stay Shadow Stick (Bonbon + Beam) or two: Use a earth toned matte like Bonbon or Latte to contour the face, naturally line eyes and add subtle depth to lids or a lighter shade like Beam, Shell or Halo on the inner corners of eyes and high points of the face to brighten, lift and highlight.  
• Apply a coat (or two!) of Lash Lengthening Mascara for fluttery, long lashes. 
• Use Suede Matte Crayon (port) on the cheeks for a hint of color and on the lips. Go bold with shades like Port or Bombshell, or subtle with Monogram or Demure.

Summer Friday Picnics

Close your computer for the day and pack up a picnic for sunny, Summer Fridays! Throw on this quick no-makeup makeup look and don’t forget a hat for extra protection.

• Use fingers or brush to apply Moisturizing Tint SPF 30+ (medium) to face for an even complexion and UV protection.
• Swipe Luminous Brightening Concealer (brighten) to quickly and easily conceal any area that needs extra coverage, or brighten and highlight on high points of the face. 
• Lightly tap Cream Blush (fig) on cheeks and lips for a natural, sun-kissed look. 
• Dust on Protecting Powder SPF 20 (bronze) to help combat any unwanted shine and to reapply sun protection throughout the day. 
• Spray Hydration Mist to help lock makeup in, and toss into your bag for a refreshing spritz throughout the day to help keep you cool. 

Outdoor Weekend Workouts

Even when we’re getting our sweat on, we still like to look put together. Whether you’re hiking through a nature trail or doing a high-intensity workout in the park, focus on protection over color when it comes to exercising outdoors.

• Apply Oil Free SPF 40+ to face and body for protection against UV rays. 
• Swipe on Brow Gel for definition that will stay put through as many squats and jumping jacks as you can do. 
• Apply Mint Balm SPF 15 to protect the delicate lip area from sun exposure. 
• Throw Calming Flower Mist in your workout bag and spritz on to cool down when you start working up a sweat.
