Although most women will get accustomed to makeup really early, some even before they reach their teens, many will remain intimated by cosmetic products even in their adult years. When you visit a beauty bar just to get your eyeliner replacement or find a new lip color, don’t you get intimidated? Rows after rows of shelves packed with tubes and boxes of all sizes and shapes that are labeled with what kind of makeup these are and you don’t even know what these are for!

Almost every time you visit your boutique, there’s a new cosmetic being sampled or there is a new line of makeup being sold that you’ve never seen before. Rather than finding out how each product promises to enhance your looks, it may be more productive to determine what exactly it is your skin needs.

The unfaltering requirements of beautiful skin

If you want to be able to put on amazing makeup in five minutes or under, there are a few steps you would benefit to practice as a daily habit so you get nothing but beautiful screen all the time.

Step 1: Cleanse and tone. Keep your skin free from dirt, product build up and pimple-causing grease by washing off with a mild cleanser and a lukewarm water twice daily. Tone to draw out any other impurities left behind after washing.

Step 2: Moisturize, protect and regenerate. Protect skin from dryness and the sun’s UV radiation. Deeply moisturize skin immediately after washing and toning. In the morning, protect skin with a mild sunscreen. In the evening, support skin cell turnover with skin regenerating ingredients like retinol, peptides, Co-enzyme Q10, hyaluronic acid, vitamins and collagen.

Step 3: Avoid ingredients, food and harsh environments that can cause you skin irritations. Avoid the blemishes by avoiding the triggers.

Step 4: Keep your makeup tools clean and hygienic. This ensures that you don’t get bacteria from your tools that can affect your skin.

Step 5: Get an eyelash extension. Save yourself a couple more minutes trying to figure out your makeup for your eyelashes, and from an entire day of managing stiffening eyelashes and powdering mascara, and not have to worry about falling falsies ever again. Look glamorous too, even without makeup.

Beautifying with makeup

Makeup shouldn’t be an everyday requirement and going for makeup-free days must be wired into your grooming. After all, if you have naturally beautiful, clean and blemish-free skin, who needs makeup?

If you religiously follow the steps above, this under 5-minute makeup guide is all you’ll ever need:

Step 1: Get coverage from a BB cream or a tinted moisturizer. You may even want to substitute for a tinted sunscreen if you’re putting on makeup for daytime wear. Any of these products will give you a nice, lightweight coverage that lets your skin breathe throughout the day, without being weighted down by the heavy texture of a foundation.

Step 2: Correct and conceal. If you have slight imperfections, a nude concealer may be all you need. Spot correct and you’re done. If dark under eyes are an issue, you may need a salmon concealer for targeted correction.

Step 3: Frame your eyebrows. Line the top and bottom outline of your eyebrows then fill in lightly with a brush.

Step 4: Put on your eye color. Use a concealer to line your eye area which, in turn, prevents eye makeup from falling out or disintegrating. Take a nude palette of browns or peaches. Starting with the white tint, color your eyelids. Follow through with color that’s two tones darker than your skin. Top the crease of your eyes with it. Next, get the darkest brown you want on your eyes then make a shadow out of it by drawing on the fold of your eyelid.

Step 5: Wing and color your eyelids. Start by drawing the wing on the outer corner of each eye. Then, fill inward.

Step 6: Apply a nude lipstick. A matte lipstick is great although a creamy lip color or even lip stain should be fine.
