Confession time: I haven’t always loved wearing make-up every day. For a long time, I wasn’t wearing any make-up to work because I was not waking up with enough time. It wasn’t a priority for me. But, I now have a perfected 5 minute beauty routine for the mornings.
After washing my face, I start with my trusty Bobbi Brown hydrating eye cream and Rinse squalane oil.
Then, I apply concealer. I use First Aid Beauty triple duty eye cream. I love how it depuffs my eyes and gives me enough coverage to hide any dark circles. I also use Nars concealer on any spots that need concealing…
I took Katie‘s recommendation and was using BareMinerals matte powder. While I like it, I was missing the light feeling of my favorite tinted moisturizer. When I saw BareMinerals Complexion Rescue, I had to try it. I am obsessed and my skin looks so dewy and healthy when I use it.
I use this Bobbi Brown shimmer brick like it is going out of style. It is really convenient and time-saving to give me all over color and eliminates me having to use eye shadow when I’m in a rush. Can you tell I like products that have multi purposes?
I then apply mascara primer and my favorite mascara.
I use the spray in the first picture to set my make-up for the day. And then, I finish with my trusty Dr. Lipp lip balm and Tom Ford lipstick.
Love this! Some days Im in such a rush so this is the perfect routine for that quick, put together look! I wear makeup every day during the week (I blame it on my very southern relatives who told me to never go out without my "face on") so I love a quick solution to my daily routine!

I'm always looking for a good eye cream. Currently I'm using the one from Benefit. I might have to try the First Aid Beauty eye cream to hide my dark circles too!
I still want to get a Tom Ford lipstick…and might use some birthday money for it!! Next on my list is the bare minerals that you just purchased too – I love the dewey look that it gives you!! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston
Ooh I'm definitely going to check out the Bare Minerals complexion rescue! I like the powder in the winter but in the summer I like a more fresh looking face and this sounds perfect!
Love it! I'm all about quick and easy makeup, especially on busy mornings!
That lipstick is gorgeous. I love NARS and will have to try the concealer some time. However, I'm using a Bobbi Brown one right now and I do really like it. Would love to try that mascara some time too!! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
These are my favorite type of posts because with a baby coming i am all about quickness (and new products to add to my must try list) Thanks for sharing! xo
I LOVE my Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick too!
My complexion definitely needs rescuing! I need to check that Bare Minerals stuff out
Love a quick routine in the mornings especially!!
I need to try the eye cream I always have puffy eyes from not getting enough sleep. Quick is always better when it comes to the morning routines.
I really need to get a quicker morning routine. Yours sounds great, and I love that Dior mascara!!

You're speaking my language with this whole 5 minutes thing! Good stuff, girlfriend. Good stuff!
I will definitely be trying some of these products. I never used to have circles under my eyes until the last year, ugh. Need to try something to cover those bad boys up!
I love Bobbi Brown make up! Good picks!

I love a quick routine like this, I am going to have to try a few of your recommendations! Xo, Stephanie
I am all about ways to cut down on my morning routine! I keep hearing such great things about the BB shimmer brick, I have a feeling it will be part of my next Sephora splurge!
I feel like I need a new beauty routine so this was super helpful! I think I need to look into Nars! The drugstore brands aren't cutting it anymore! 🙂
I love quick makeup routines! I don't wear much anymore now that I live in Manila (and it is way too hot to have makeup on most of the time), but I am interested in trying out that tinted moisturizer. Adding it to my list of things to buy when I'm back home in Houston next!
