Five Minute Face

Don't try and deny it, after all, we all have one; that make up look we repeatedly pull together as we clamber to leave the house with just 5 minutes to spare. Whilst the words 'safe' and 'boring' might be the best way to describe mine, as far as a quick spruce up goes it's pretty hard to fall out of line with this neutral palette. Using bright and light colours to lift the complexion, this has become my staple look on those mornings when I literally can't be arsed. Elegant, huh? Here's a quick look at today's rushed attempt:

Base: Max Factor Smooth Effect Foundation (review coming soon)

Eyes: MAC Nylon Eye Shadow, Edward Bess Pure Impact Mascara (review coming soon)

Lips: MAC Mocha Lipstick

Cheeks: Topshop Desert Sun (review coming soon)

What products and colours do you tend to use on your 5 minute face? Do you dare to adventure day to day? Please tell me I'm not the only lazy one.

Seriously. Please...

My 5-ish minute face: Revlon Colorstay foundation, Vichy Dermablend concealer, Max Factor Lash Extension mascara, Benefit Gerbera colour on the cheeks. OK, and then I put on the sheer Essence lipstick, that's it. x
