Hey There,
It’s Day 7 of my 30 Day Makeup Challenge and the category is 10 Minute Look. This look took me exactly, to the seconds, 10 minutes to do. This is a category I am very confident in because I am a person who loves my sleep and will sacrifice makeup application time to get extra minutes in bed. The most important thing about getting ready in 10 minutes is to stick to tried, tested and loved products. That way, less chance of anything going wrong and costing you precious minutes. I use multi use products a lot for getting ready quick. That’s why I used a two in one brow pencil and highlighter. Also it’s chunky so application is faster. It’s also why I used a cheek palette with three products in one. It’s much quicker than searching around for extra products. I often have to get ready for work quick, so as a makeup artist, it’s important to still look put together and flawless, while still making some impact with your makeup. In order to look like a professional makeup artist, I opt for two things, a soft smokey eye and bright lips. They are two things that are easy and quick to do but still make it look like you put some effort in. I use one shade for the soft smokey end and one brush for application and blending. I like to use shades that have a slight two tone appearance to them so when blended out it can look like more than one colour and again, seem like it took longer to do than it actually did. Good colours for a look like this include Mac Satin Taupe, Club or Woodwinked. Then I choose a bright lip, today I opted for a bold red and I love it. A bright lip for everyone might not be the easiest thing to do but with a quick outline with a liner and fill in with the lippie, it takes me about 2 minutes. The only other thing I did was use a kabuki blending brush to apply my foundation. It’s not as seamless as a Beauty Blender but it works and it’s much much quicker.
