Five Second Makeup Tips Worth Using

Almost every morning I manage to sleep in and almost every morning I'm faced with huge descions that I need to make quickly. Like should I wear Mascara or blusher, eyeliner or eyebrows?

Its often tricky deciding what steps are worth doing on a rushed morning and what aren't so here are five that you should try to always do. They all take five seconds and lead to a nicer face of makeup for the rest of the day.

First of all primer.

 I cannot stress how important primer is especially if you have a long day of work or school ahead of you and want to try and avoid that messy hair and melted makeup look. I apply a little bit to my cheeks, forehead, nose and chin just before applying foundation.

For a good budget primer I would try the Loreal Lumi Magique for a nice dewy look as well as smoother and longer lasting foundation.

My second tip is too always apply mascara. 

Forget eyeliner, a good mascara takes a minute to apply and you shouldn't need more than three or four coats. Not only does mascara make your lashes appear longer, thicker and darker but it will open out your eyes without you having to do any complicated eye shadow application.

I try to never skip the concealer step when it comes to applying makeup.

It only takes a couple of minutes, hides and blurs any imperfections and you can even double it up and use it as a highlighter!

What more could you want. 

My favorite concealer (especially for spring/summer time) is the Rimmel Wake Me Up this will ilumimate, cover up and looks amazing when caught in the sunlight. Just make sure you get the right color!

This may sound a little odd but I always line my crease.

It doesn't matter if I'm wearing a full face of makeup or just slapping on some concealer, I apply a base coat of eye shadow and then line my crease. I feel like this really opens my eyes up and makes it look like I'm wearing more makeup than I actually am.

I try not to wear it without a base coat but often I will just put a little bit of a nude base and line my crease with a dark brown.

My final tip is to not rush.

Its a million times better to just use these tips and nicely apply a few essential items rather than slap all the makeup you own onto your face in a desperate attempt to look presentable.

 You will look so much nicer if you just wear subtle flatter makeup instead.
