All you working/college girls—put your hands up if doing makeup in the morning before you get out of the house seems like an impossible task to you. After all, who has the time to conceal, correct and contour in the mornings? What you need is a makeup routine that can be done under 5 minutes to suit your busy lifestyle. Here’s how you can get it…
 

Use a BB Cream instead of foundation

Use a BB Cream instead of foundation

A BB cream will give you sheer coverage, even skin tone and an overall bright, fresh looking complexion. Dot it all over your moisturised face and blend well for a flawless base. We love the Fair & Lovely BB Cream that lends you a matte finish and lasts long too! This is the first step of your morning makeup routine.

 

Spot conceal

If you have pigmentation and spots, spot conceal (dot the concealer on pigmented spots) them instead of applying layers and layers of concealer which takes time to set or bake. Spot concealing is quick, easy and helps the product blend easily with your BB cream.

 

Mattify your face

If you have oily skin and wish for the makeup to look shine-free, dab some loose powder or compact powder. If dewy is how you’d like your complexion to look, skip the powder and use a small amount of highlighter. Remember to not go overboard and keep the look as fresh as you can.

 

Use a two-in-one product for your lips and cheeks

To achieve a morning makeup look in under 5 minutes, make sure you’re using minimal products and yet making the most of them. We recommend using the Lakmé 9to5 Weightless Mousse Lip & Cheek Color to add just the right kinda hint of colour to your lips and cheeks—we love the fact that we can rely on one product to do the job of 2 and save us ample of time.

 

Ditch the liner and choose mascara

Ditch the liner and choose mascara

We know that kajal and eyeliner are extremely crucial when it comes to sporting a gorgeous eye makeup look. As much as this is true, applying these products with great precision takes a heck lotta time! (winged eyeliner struggles, anyone?) Instead, apply a generous coat of mascara on your lashes. This will open up your eyes and give you a refreshed look!
