products for a 5 minute makeup routine
i posted this 5 minute everyday makeup look on my Instagram stories, here are the products that I used to create this look. I have listed them in the order that I use them to make it easiest!
dew date is a great facial oil that is made from palmarosa + sunflower oil. I love it because it hydrates without leaving your skin feeling greasy! I use this product before I apply my makeup, and I also use it before bed every night!!
limelife makes an amazing concealer! Its wax base makes it water resistant, long wearing, and a great primer for powders and shadows. This concealer is highly pigmented, making it great to camouflage dark circles and blemishes! I personally use shade #2. I apply this product under my eyebrow to create a brightness on the eyes without using eyeshadow! I also use this concealer under my eyes to hide how tired I really am!!
after I apply concealer to my brow bone, I then use a powdered brow color by ABH to fill in my brow to the shape that I want. The best brush for this that I have found is a small angled brush. I prefer a synthetic brush for this because it will hold its shape and keep a nice crisp edge. Then I finish my brow off with this clear brow styling gel
i love to incorporate products that have multiple uses! It means less product that I have to keep on hand and makes things go much quicker. I use the limelife perfect bronzer in shade #3. I use this product on my eyes to define just a little bit in the crease, and then I use a fluffy brush and buff the bronzer uber my bottom lash line for a very diffused, soft bottom liner. I also use this product to give a sunkissed glow to my skin after applying foundation, and also to give a super natural contour! I like shade #3 because it’s really warm without being shimmery.
After I curl my lashes, I use this lengthening mascara by Limelife. This is LimeLife’s best-selling product because it instantly creates the appearance of longer, fuller lashes. This formula contains lengthening fibers that can be applied in layers to create lashes that appear to keep growing and growing. I have tried every mascara out there- and this one has stood the test for me. It doesn’t flake or transfer, and it really hold curls nicely!
after I apply my concealer under my eyes, I use this creme foundation to help every out my skin tone. I like to use a beauty blender for this step because it applies the perfect amount of product, keeping the finish as natural and blended as possible! I use shade Shinto 2, but I will link the quick to help you find your perfect shade. I was a little unsure how the quiz could find the right shade for me, but I have to say- it nailed it pretty spot on! Click HERE to find your shade of foundation and concealer!!
I have a couple of limelife blushes that I use, and mix. The two shades I gravitate towards the most are KEEN and GLOWING
after foundation is blended and I have contoured using the bronzer linked above- I highlight my cheeks a little down the bridge of my nose and on the top of my lips! this is the highlighter that I use on a daily basis- and I like to use a fan brush for dusting.
I love this lip liner for daily use!! It’s called dark nude. The liner is long wearing and really helps so that your lipstick and/or liner doesn’t feather!! And, it’s self sharpening which is super convenient
The final step of my 5 minute makeup is to pop on a lipgloss. Limelife makes a super comfortable lipgloss and has a really good selection of colors. The color I use daily is called PEACE. The gloss is really smooth, not sucky or tacky and lasts a long time. One thing I also noticed that I love about their glosses is that they don’t make my lips peel the way most brands do.
I really hope this helps!! What do you want to see next? Comment below!!
