- Hi everyone.
And welcome back to the Adore Beauty YouTube channel.
My name is Megan.
I'm part of the Social and Content team,
and I'm also a makeup artist.
And today I'm going to be taking you through a super easy,
every day five minute makeup routine.
This tutorial will be for anyone
that has accidentally hit the snooze button
too many times and now you've got five minutes
to get ready.
Or when you get a message from a coworker saying,
"Hey can you jump on a zoom call in five minutes?"
and you still look like you rolled out of bed.
So it's going to be super quick, super easy,
and let's just have some fun with it.
Okay, so AM skincare routine and SPF
have already been applied so we can whiz straight past that
and jump right into base products.
Now I have got a normal to dry skin type.
So I usually look for something with light to medium
coverage and a dewy finish.
So I'm gonna take you through three base products
that kind of fit that criteria today.
But if you're looking for something with medium to full
coverage, or you just like a matte finish,
I'll also give you some options for them at the end.
So the first base option that I'm going to share with you
is from L'Oreal Paris and it is their
Skin Paradise Tinted Water Cream.
So this is more of a tinted moisturiser,
I would say, than a foundation.
So if you're looking for something
that has super sheer, light coverage,
this is for you.
It's got skin loving ingredients in it.
It is super cost-effective.
I'm pretty sure it's $27.95.
We'll get a price check here.
And I just love to apply it with my fingers.
It glides straight on.
The second base option that I've been reaching for
is from Aspect Minerals
and it is their Mineral Powder Foundation.
I was really surprised when I loved this
because I don't usually love powder foundations.
It's got hyaluronic acid infused in the formula,
so it's super hydrating on the skin.
The price point sits at around $59, I believe.
We'll pop it up, the exact price here.
Really nice option if you want something light
and breathable on the skin that is also super versatile
when it comes to coverage.
And the third base product
that I'm going to take you through
is an oldie but a goodie.
I'm sure that you're well acquainted with it.
It is the MAC Studio Radiance Face
and Body Radiant Sheer Foundation.
It has an amazing shade range.
So on-site, we currently have 29 shades.
The price point, I think sits at around $55.
We'll get, again, a price check here.
But I just love this, it's super versatile
and I think it's the one that I'm gonna use today.
So let's just jump straight into application.
So I think I'm going to mix shade C4 and shade N3 today,
just because my shade has gone a bit rogue lately.
So we'll just try doing a bit of a mixed job.
So I've just popped the tiniest little bit of C4
and then I'll go in with N3, which is slightly lighter.
And I'm just going to take these spectrum B01 brush
and I'm just going to buff that in
ever so lightly.
Now because the SPF that I applied onto my skin
had a very hydrating formula, I personally didn't reach
for a primer, but if you wanted to use a primer
you so can.
So as you can see, I think that took me
about not even 30 seconds to apply my base.
And that was with me talking and explaining.
So even though this video might go for a while today,
I promise you that when I apply this on a day-to-day basis,
it takes me about four and a half minutes
from start to finish.
Okay, now that base is on and sorted,
I usually just like to apply a tiny bit of concealer
just underneath my under eyes to brighten that area.
Again, an oldie but a goodie that I just can not stray from,
the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer.
As you can see, it is in a bad place right now
so I need to purchase a new one.
But I just love the way it brightens areas
that I want brightening.
This is in the shade 20 Sable Sand.
I also use 10 Light.
Sometimes I just use my ring finger to press that in.
I love that the warmth from my ring finger
is able to warm up that product
and really melt it into my skin.
I might just go in with the B01 brush
and it'll just kind of pounce that in
so that it can merge nicely with my foundation.
Sometimes I also do take it just onto the top of my eyelid.
I would definitely say with this everyday makeup routine,
don't be afraid to use your fingers.
They're really time effective.
So in this concealer phase,
this is where you can go in and add more coverage
to certain areas of the face if you want to.
So I probably could add a little bit more coverage
to little blemishes like there and there,
but I can't be bothered.
So I'm just going to let them live their best life
and shine through.
Now I'm gonna go in with the Anastasia Beverly Hills
Cream Bronzer.
This is in the shade Golden Tan.
And the reason why I've been using cream products lately
is because I've found that they're just able to give my skin
a little bit more glow
and it looks a lot closer to my natural features
rather than powder.
So I'm just going to grab the Spectrum C07 brush
and I'm just going to press the tiniest little bit
of this cream bronzer right onto my cheekbone here.
First, stipple it on and then I do little round motions
to just buff that into the skin.
Perfect.
And as you can see,
that's already added heaps of structure to my face,
and I'm just gonna do the same on the other side.
I usually use Hoola by Benefit
if I want to use a powder product,
but today I'm opting for cream.
And then I like to add the tiniest little bit
just on the perimeters of my forehead.
And then sometimes I'll just go along my jaw line as well
ever so lightly.
So I'm going to reach for the Mac Glow Play Blush
in shade Blush, Please.
Now this is a really nice, I would say
like a muted rose shade, which suits my personal skin tone,
but you go for whatever suits you.
And I love the formula of this blush
because it's almost like a putty.
So it's more of like a cream putty
rather than like a liquid blush.
So I'm going to just keep my face completely relaxed
and add that slight flush on the apples of my cheeks,
but then also going up along my cheekbone.
And then sometimes what I like to do is just add
the tiniest bit of blush along the bridge of my nose,
because when I'm not wearing makeup and my cheeks flush
my nose usually flushes too.
So I do like to just mimic the natural gradient
that I have in my face.
So I'm liking the way that that's looking.
If I ever don't use a cream blush,
I will usually go for Melon Dollar Baby,
which is a powder blush.
So it's got little watermelons embossed into the powder,
which is so cute.
But yeah, if I ever do use a powder blush,
I love this one.
And again, super cost effective.
Now the last step for the cheeks,
and this is totally optional,
but it's something that I've been doing lately
and really loving.
So I'm actually going to add a little bit
of a cream highlighter to my face.
So I'm going to grab the Benefit, Miss Glow-it-all! Palette.
So it looks like this.
How cute is the packaging, might I just add?
And then it's got four really lovely shades in here,
which as you can see are well loved.
So I like to use these three shades here
and I just kind of mix them all together
and they just give a really subtle sheen.
So I'm taking the shades Soft Gold, Rose Gold
and Peach Gold on a little kabuki brush.
This one is from Bobby Brown.
And I'm just going to press it
onto the high points of my face.
So just around the temple and then coming
into that little C curve that your face
naturally makes.
Again, this is probably a step that you could skip
if you're really pressed for time,
but I've just been really enjoying this lately.
I'm going to move onto my eyes.
I'm going to be using these Spectrum B06 brush.
So dipping into Bronze Gold,
I just take the tiniest amount of that cream product.
And I just like to run that through the crease of my eye,
just to give a little bit of dimension,
but because this cream palette is super subtle,
it just gives you a really nice natural wash along the eye.
Okay, next up, I like to do brows
because I feel like they just frame the whole face.
Now I know that brows are a very personal journey,
so whatever your go-to brow products are, go for it.
The first one I'm going to use is from Benefit
and it is the 24 Hour Brow Setter.
This is a clear mascara.
First step is, I just take this and I just brush
my hairs upwards.
Now the shape of my brows is a little bit rogue
because we have been in lockdown
for the past 500 years
and I haven't been able to go to my brow stylist.
With saying that, fluffy brows are in.
So I'm just going to embrace them.
And I just like to brush my hairs upwards
to give them that nice fluffy look.
I usually give these about 30 seconds to dry
from that mascara.
And then if I'm feeling like I just want to add
a little bit more gradient or dimension,
I will actually grab the Makeup Forever
Aqua Resist Brow Fixer.
Now this is an amazing brow mascara
that almost adds depth and fibres to your brows,
but in the most subtle way.
As you can see, it's tiny, which I really love
because brows are a small section of your face.
So you really do need a small brush
when you're walking with them.
(laughing)
Gonna take my brows for a walk.
When you're working with your brows.
I literally just add this tinted brow Mascara
to areas where I feel like my brows are a little bit sparse
or could use a little bit more fibre or depth.
Again, when I'm not explaining every step,
probably takes all up about a minute to apply.
So now let's just pop on some Mascara.
Now two that I've been loving,
one is from Lancome and it is their Idole Lash.
What I usually do is I'll put one coat of mascara on,
and then I'll go over the top with Telescopic
from L'Oreal Paris.
I just can't help it.
No matter what mascara I'm using,
I always end up putting a coat of this on at the end.
And of course you can always completely skip
the Mascara stage.
I do most days to be completely honest,
unless it's like a really important meeting.
As promised, I will give you
some foundation recommendations.
So if you're looking for something that has light coverage,
but a matte finish, I would check out
Makeup For Ever Watertone Foundation.
And if you're looking for something that has a dewy finish,
but also has that medium to full coverage,
I would check out IT Cosmetics, CC Cream.
So face and eyes are now all done.
Last thing is lips.
Now I would usually just either pop some Lanolips on,
my favourite is the 101 Ointment Peach.
But sometimes you can actually pop a little bit of liner
on as well.
So if I do that,
I usually opt for MAC Stripdown.
But I think today I'm just going to reapply a little bit
of Lanolips so that my lips look nice and juicy.
And we're good to go.
So that is my five minute makeup routine.
I hope you enjoyed it.
