On The Go: Last Minute Makeup Tips to Make Your Routine Shorter
If you’re a busy bee, you can still get your everyday makeup routine right with a few tips! Minimal effort but maximum impact is what we’re going for. We got you <3
Learn how to do makeup on the go and in a time crunch! Basically a real life 2x for your makeup routine ;)
One-and-done Base
Makeup looks so muchhhh better with a good skincare. But it doesn’t have to be 20 steps. Pick a moisturiser + mix a concealer with it and apply a layer. Doesn’t take time! Kill two birds with this one stone and get even skin tone ;)
If you find a tinted moisturiser that’s really ONE step for your base, nothing like it!
Cream Appeal
Cream products are v easy to blend and perfect for on the go! You save so much time when you replace powder products with cream ones! One tap and you’re done and you don’t need a brush!!
Get a multi-use product that is glowy so it can act as a blush and highlighter! Skip contouring or bronzer and place your blush to do what you call ‘colour contouring’!

Multi-Use Me
It’s perfect if you can find a cheek product that is safe to use on eyes and lips. Call it your multi-warrior. It does it all. Apply it on your eyes for a little colour, tap on your cheeks and lips! There you have an effortless everyday Monotone lewk.

When in Doubt
Now if you have five minutes to get ready, we wouldn’t recommend doing a classic winged liner. Takes time and not-so-shaky hands (thank you, caffeine). Still feel like going for that fierce cat eye feel? Pick an eyeshadow for a quick wing. Easy to apply andddd less chances of you messing up in a hurry ✨
Lash Out
Mascara really does bring out the whole look together! So apply a layer or two, wiggle it through your lashes for maximum impact. You can also just apply it on the tips of your lashes for a bright eye look!
Wipe your mascara wand with a tissue and use the remaining on your eyebrows. If you really have no time and cannot bother looking for that brow pencil that’s lost in a sea of makeup products. 🏆
Yes, make it on time to your destination and look fabulous while you’re at it! Did we save the day with this quick guide to speed up your routine? Let us know in the comments! <3
