Back-to-school mornings don't leave room for a ten-step beauty routine. So we simplified. Five easy steps, five everyday essentials, five minutes or less. Between packing lunches, finding lost shoes, and getting everyone out the door on time, this 5-minute makeup routine gives you a fresh, polished look without taking over your morning.
The best part? You don't need a bathroom full of products or a complicated routine to look put together. Each step is quick, easy to apply, and designed to do exactly what you need it to do. Here's how to get ready in five minutes or less.
Step 1— Even it Out: Liquid Concealer
Start with a little coverage where you need it most. A few swipes of Liquid Concealer help even the look of your skin without leaving behind a heavy or cakey finish.
The creamy, plant-based formula contains vanilla, jojoba, and olive fruit oil to help nourish and support the skin. Use it under the eyes, around the nose, or anywhere you'd like a little extra coverage. You don't need to cover your entire face. Just apply where you want a little more evening out, blend with your fingertips, and move on to the next step.
Step 2: Add Color — Tri-Stick 3-in-1 Cheek, Lip & Eye Tint
Now it's time to add a little color. Tri-Stick makes this step simple because it's one stick with three ways to use it on your cheeks, lip and eyes. The buildable cream tint goes on easily with your fingers, so there's no need to reach for a brush or spend time blending multiple products. Swipe it onto your cheeks and blend, add a little to your lips, then tap a small amount onto your eyelids if you want a little extra color.
It's a quick way to add dimension and warmth to your look without adding another five minutes to your morning.
Step 3: Define — Botanical Mascara
A couple of coats of mascara can make a big difference when you're short on time. Botanical Mascara helps define and enhance your lashes, giving your eyes a more awake, finished look. The formula is enriched with Vitamin E, Rosemary, and Thyme extracts to help condition and care for your lashes as you wear it. Apply one or two coats, depending on how much definition you want.
Step 4: Add Shine — Lip Gloss
The finishing touch. One swipe adds effortless shine and pulls the whole look together. It's small enough to toss in your bag for a midday refresh, whether that's between school drop-off and the grocery run or right before you walk into a meeting.
Step 5: Mist & Set — Facial Mist + Setting Spray
Once your makeup is finished, give everything a final mist with Facial Mist + Setting Spray. Use it as the last step in your routine to help set your makeup, or keep it with you for a refreshing spritz later in the day.
