Put On Your Face…..in 5 minutes


I hear a lot of females say they don’t have time to put on makeup in the morning.  Well if you have five minutes….you have the time to put on your face before you leave the house. 

1. Start with a clean palate and make sure to moisturize your skin.  If you can, use a moisturizer with an SPF (sunscreen).  I use Mary Kay Time Wise Day Solution SPF 35 everyday.


2. Start with your lips.  Use a LIP liner to line the lips and then apply a bright color lipstick.  Even if you don’t have time to finish the rest of the face you’ve already done a lot to wake up your face. SN: for the effect of fuller lips, line the lips above the lip line then apply the lipstick up to where the lips are lined.

Suggestions:
  • Lip liner: Clear (goes with everything) or a color close to your lipstick color
  • Lipstick: A bright orange (not too bright though). Mary Kay Sunny Citrus is really cute
3. If time permits you can now apply your foundation.  Liquid to powder or matte foundation is what I recommend. 

Suggestions:

  • Time Wise Matt-Wear Liquid Foundation: Great for combination to oily skin
  • Mineral Powder: Great for that “no makeup” feel

4. Now you can focus on your cheek and eye colors.  Do your cheeks and mascara FIRST.  If you do a dramatic color lipstick, go neutral on the cheek and eye colors.  For a day look I would keep things neural.

Suggestions:            

  • Cheeks: A bronze color or barley there pink.  I use Mary Kay Golden Copper or Citrus 
  • Bloom  Eyes: Use only ONE color….Mary Kay Chocolate Kiss or Honey Spice are my go to colors

And that’s your 5 minutes face!!!! Feel free to email me for more information on Mary Kay products (shameless plug…:)  rdollard@marykay.com.
