- But with a little practice my friends,
you get in the rhythm, you know what you're doing,
you can do it super quickly.
Hello there, I'm Amanda Ramsay,
your over-40s makeup expert,
and today I'm going to show you
my five-minute makeup tutorial,
step-by-step how to achieve this look,
and yes you can, let's go.
Step one in the five-minute makeup
is to use a long wear eye shadow,
so a creamy eye shadow that sets, yup?
Set and forget.
I'm going to use the MAC Color Pot.
The color is Groundwork,
and the pot is called a Pro Longwear Paint Pot.
You will find this
in most professional makeup artists' kits.
Now, I'm going to just do it the way I would do it,
dick your finger in there,
and just start blending that.
(gentle jazz music)
Now you can, if you want to,
use a fluffy brush for that job,
just to soften it, swoosh it around.
You do need to work super fast, 'kay?
They do dry quickly.
Okay, eye shadow, done.
Your next step is to whack on some foundation.
The Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation,
I'm wearing the color 6.5,
'cause I've cheated, and I have a bit of self-tan on.
Luminous liquid foundation,
mature skin, best buddy.
Starting at the center of your face,
I call it the hormonal zone, right through here,
and that tends to be
where we get flushes of redness, breakouts,
and that tends to be where we need the most coverage.
So if you start there, work your way out,
so that you're only putting coverage
where you really need it.
I'm gonna go back in, do a little bit more.
Okay, next, this is YSL Touche Eclat,
and I do what I call the golden triangle of amazingness.
Right, what's next, that was number three.
And next we're going to do a little bit of blush.
Gonna use the Benefit Benetint.
This has lived in my kit
for as long as it been alive, I'm sure.
I chose this today because I wanted to show
how to wear a nice, sort of liquid blush
that becomes a part of your skin.
This is a stain, so it gives you that flush.
You can just layer on a little bit more,
and
while you're there,
pop some on your lips for a nice stain (pops lips)
effect to your lips.
Okay, next, I'm just gonna pop on a little bit of mascara,
super black mascara from YSL.
And put it really close to the root of your lash
and wiggle
up.
So load up your lashes and then grab a little brow gel.
I'm using the Benefit Gimme Brow in the number 3.
It's a tinted brow gel.
Just take the excess
off, or you're going to end up
looking like Ming the Merciless,
or Ming the Merciful.
Right, brush your brows through.
Now I'm just going to,
because I like a little bit more something on my lips,
just grab a little bit of Weleda Skin Food
and pop that on.
Mm, just whack a bit of Weleda Skin Food over the stain,
you've got this really fresh, pretty, pinky kind of vibe.
Your other option in your five-minute makeup
is instead of a neutral lip, just take this off,
grab your Bobbi Brown lipstick,
oh my God, look at that color, love it.
Add a bright lippie in your five-minute makeup.
So there's two looks done in five minutes,
and there's your nice, bright lip, hello fresh.
