Quick 5 Minute Makeup with Neutrogena

 


Imagine the following situation:

You look like you have rolled out of bed just now, though you are up and working from 6-7 am, your hair is a mess and it looks like you haven’t slept very well last night. You are already in your second cup of coffee, don’t have the extra time to glam up and you are falling behind your work deadline.

Sounds familiar?

This is my situation most of the day. After I get my toddler ready for the day, I don’t spend any time on myself and start working straight away, because why does it matter if I am disheveled like this, right?

Wrong.

Getting ready in the morning, just for yourself, matters a lot if you work from home like me. It gives you a confidence boost and prepares you for the rest of the day. Which is why I have made a promise to myself this year, I will make some time to look decent in the morning before starting my work. It usually includes brushing the hair, wear some concealer and lip color. See the difference?

To make the process easier and achievable, I have made my morning routine to be within 5 minutes. You can do it too by following my steps!

WHAT WILL YOU NEED:

Apart from a cup of coffee, you will need just 4 products to look polished in 5 minutes. The products I am using are from Skin Clearing and Hydroboost collection of Neutrogena.

  • Neutrogena® SkinClearing oil-free makeup
  • Hydro Boost Concealer
  • SkinClearing Mineral Powder
  • Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine

MY EASY STEPS:

  • After washing my face and using regular moisturizer, I add 1 layer of Neutrogena® SkinClearing oil-free makeup with a flat foundation brush. This lightweight foundation pretty much covers the unevenness of my face.

  • As I have dry and dark undereye, I use Hydro Boost Concealer. I just dab it there and blend it with my fingers. You can see the difference it makes below.

Concealer vs. No concealer

  • For the lips, I use Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine. It gives a hint of color with lots of shine and moisture. Perfect for the cold Winter months! Now you can add some brow gel and mascara, but as I have sensitive eyes, I tend to skip the mascara most of the days.

WHERE WILL YOU GET THESE:

You can get the Skin Clearing and Hydroboost collection products from your local Walmart!

 

IN A NUTSHELL:

Whether you work from home or commute to other places to work every day, it makes a big impact how you present yourself. So get up, get ready and conquer the world!
