Mornings are a pure chaos, where you have to balance your home and your career with every other thing. Between choosing your outfit, figuring out the lunch and household chores, spending 30 minutes on makeup, feels unrealistic, unless you are allowed to be late at your workplace. But who says that you cannot achieve that polished look in just 10 minutes?
There is no special secret to achieving your desired look in 10 minutes, use products that are multipurpose and keep the look simple because not every day requires a full glam look. For most office days, a simple, clean and radiant face is all you need. Let’s walk through a simple and easy makeup routine for your busy mornings with Colors Queen Cushion Foundation.
Step 1: Skincare is a Must
Skincare plays an important role in keeping your skin hydrated and plump. Start with Anti Dust Facial Cleanser and apply Vitamin C toner. Use Vitamin C serum to give your skin a refreshing boost to prevent dullness or dryness. Follow up with a moisturizer to lock in hydration. Finish off your skincare routine with a sunscreen. If you want to save more time, use a moisturizer with SPF in it. Let your skin rest for a few minutes to absorb all the skincare for hydrated and healthy skin. Try and use skincare products according to your skin type only.
Step 2: Apply Primer (Optional)
This step is optional, as primer is important when you want to do a full glam makeup look for a smooth base. A good face primer helps blur pores, controls oil and give your foundation a smoother surface to cling to.
Step 3: Cushion Foundation
Cushion foundation is your best friend for a quick, fuss-free makeup routine. For traditional foundations, you require a sponge or a foundation brush to apply and it is not convenient to travel with for touch-ups. In cushion foundations, you get a puff applicator, just simply dab the puff on the liquid-soaked sponge, and you will get enough product. Blend the foundation and build coverage as per the desired finish. Within a few minutes, you will get a dewy finish. This face foundation is ideal for working women, toss it in your bag for re-application and touch-ups.
Step 4: Add Blush
Instead of using powder formulas, use creamy blush like Colors Queen Matte Liquid Blush. Creamy texture blend easily, giving your skin a natural flush of color. Take a small amount of blush and dab it with your fingers and blend upwards. This step barely takes 10 seconds for you to achieve that fresh glow. To save you time, apply the same blush on your eyelid and blend using fingers. You will get a natural coordinated look ready in under 20 seconds.
Step 5: Finish With Your Lips
No makeup is complete without filling out your lips with love. Depending on your mood, occasion and the time you have left, you can use a lip gloss/lip balm or a lipstick. For office wear, it is best to use muted/neutral shades that look professional.
- Use Colors Queen Magic lip balm for all day moisture, perfect for the winter season.
- Use Colors Queen Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer Lip Gloss for a bit of shine.
- You can apply it over your lipstick or use it as it is on bare lips.
- Use Colors Queen Color Stay Non-Transfer Lipstick for all day comfort and wear.
Optional Touch-ups
If you have a few extra minutes with all the other tasks, you can try a few optional touch options to enhance your look more:
- Use Colors Queen Lash Look Mascara to enhance your eye look.
- Shape your eyebrows for a neater look using Colors Queen Brow Master Eyebrow Pencil.
- Use Sun Expert Compact Powder to control oil on your T-zone.
