5-minute makeup – necessary cosmetics

You can do a quick makeup even on the bus on your way to work. For this purpose, multifunctional cosmetics will be extremely useful. Why? They will not take up much space in the purse and will allow you to create a full makeup. You may as well reach for cosmetics in the on-the-go version or mini-products. They are available in almost every drugstore and perfumery. Miniature editions of creams, lipsticks, mascaras and eyeshadows can always be in your bag with you. Another advantage is the fact that they are hygienic which results from the fact that they wear out more quickly. In addition, before you risk the purchase of a high-capacity cosmetic, you can try it in the mini format; this way you will avoid disappointment with a new, unknown product.

How to do makeup in 5 minutes?

To apply a quick make-up, start by applying a bit of BB or CC cream, spread it all over the face. To cover up the dark under-eye shadows, apply a concealer and add some of it to spots you want to hide (redness, pimples, blackheads, blemishes, etc.). Then, fix the eyebrows with a colouring gel in a shade lighter than the eyebrow colour. Apply a blush in the form of a cream to the apples of your cheeks (and the eyelids), and paint the lips with lip balm or moisturizing lipstick in a delicate colour.

In the case of oily skin, replace BB cream with a mineral foundation, which you will apply with Kabuki or a flat top brush. Do not forget about a very light cream or moisturizing gel or a special base beforehand.
