Morning routine....how long what to use etc

[Wineoclock81]

I start a new job in the New Year (promotion) which will mean i wont be able to wash n go anymore. Up to now ive been able to get away without wearing makeup but i wont be able to do that in this new job. I require ideas on a simple makeup routine and some basic office appropriate outfits...im 5ft5 slim build short dark blond hair hazel eyes fair to med skintone ....oh and i wear glasses. Looking forward to reading all your advice

Sali Hughes does a great 5 minute face in her Pretty Honest book. You might find it online with a Google.

Do you use Instagram? If so, it's worth following one of the Bobbi Brown pros for good quick make-up routines. Hannah Martin is excellent. She's just had a baby so she's all over quick routines! For basic office outfits, I would recommend Uniqlo for good basics and Boden have some great things too (for example, the Richmond 7/8 trousers are amazing with heels).

For make up I'd suggest slapping on your moisturiser when you are in the shower so it sinks in (after a quick cleanse with micellar water). Depending on your skin, apply either a tinted moisturiser, a BB cream or some foundation. Touch of blusher- cream is easier than powder sometimes- mascara, eyeliner ( stick not wet stuff!), and lippy or tinted gloss/ balm.
If you have time, a slick of one eye shadow in a neutral beige/grey/ taupe shade. Bobbi Brown has some good ones.
