5 MINUTES FACE: Perfect for those of us who values sleep more than make up

I was just on placement for a few weeks, and that meant 9 am starts. I am a night owl and I find it a challenge to get out of bed in the mornings. For me I'd rather sleep than get up earlier to apply my face on (Unlike Nigar!). So this is my 5 minute getting made up routine. I kept to products that I know works well on me and I can apply with minimum fuss which requires no touch ups during the day (with the exception of lippie). This is not the time to be experimenting!

While writing this post I realised I forgot to add my eyebrow pencil in there but never mind, it is so good it deserves a post of its own. 

Steps
1. Apply Lip balm and creams 
2. Apply eye primer 
3. Apply eye shadow
4. Apply eyeliner and smudge along lash line
5. Apply foundation and blend 
6. Do under-eye concealing 
7. Set concealer with powder 
8. Fill in eyebrows
9. Apply bronzer followed by blush
10. Pat off lip balm and apply lipstick 
11. Done! 

If you have oily skin it may be important for you to set your whole face with powder. I don't use mascara on a day to day basis as I find mascara annoying to take off.

 So that's my quick 5 minutes face to look polished when I'd rather spend time sleeping but still look well put together. One thing that really helped me was to plan my outfits the night before. It saves a tonne of time in the morning! 

What's your 5 min face? And what are some of your trusted products that you turn to when time is of the essence and you know those products work?
