What do you do if...

You wake up late. You haven't got time to put on much makeup- 60 seconds max. What products do you use? I fill in my eyebrows, put on a coat of mascara, put on some lip balm and that's all I have time for. I either do this or a full face; no in-between. What do you do if you have very little time?

Foundation across t-zone. Cream blusher. Mascara.

If I had to choose between blusher and mascara, I would choose blusher: without out I look somewhat deceased.

Microblading and lash extentions/tint take care of my top two steps.
Then I would prioritise skincare inc tinted lipbalm, bronzer or highlighter if I have time.

60 seconds? An emergency slap on of foundation, mascara and lipstick. All the basics covered, skin, eyes, lips.

rightknockered · 12/02/2018 12:27

tinted moisturiser, mascara, blusher and tinted lip balm

Wh0KnowsWhereTheT1meG0es · 12/02/2018 12:30

Moisturiser, tinted lipbalm, brows and mascara. I rarely use foundation, blusher etc anyway, but would usually do eye primer, eyeshadow and liner.

neveradullmoment99 · 12/02/2018 12:36

Moisturiser, eyeliner, mascara.

JustaBasicBitch · 12/02/2018 13:02

Take it all with me and do en route/when I arrive ;)

halfwitpicker · 12/02/2018 13:03

Foundation, mascara

PasDeDeux · 12/02/2018 13:27

If I only had 60 seconds exactly I'd put some concealer under my eyes and fill in my eyebrows. My eyebrows would take up most of those seconds!

DarthArts · 12/02/2018 13:29

Under eye concealer, mascara and lipstick (which I then dab on cheeks as a quick blush)

EnidButton · 12/02/2018 17:13

Turn up late. Grin

I'd do concealer, mascara, blusher and tinted lip balm.

EnidButton · 12/02/2018 17:14

In fact I'm not wearing any make up at the moment. I might time myself slapping that bit on. See if it can be done in 60 seconds.

I really need to get a life

Passmethecrisps · 12/02/2018 17:16

I would use pressed powder, eye liner and mascara. If I had any time left I might stick a bit of cream blush on.

If I am honest this is what my daily routine is anyway

user187656748 · 12/02/2018 17:18

foundation, blusher, mascara quick brush of the eyebrows

GrannyGrissle · 12/02/2018 20:01

Quick hot cloth cleanse, moisturiser and factor 50. I use the Rimmel mascara which gradually dyes your lashes so they're not too bad and a tube of Lizzie Arden 24 hour cream comes everywhere with me do lip balm once the 60 seconds is over and I'm on my way. If I had a second or 2 left powder my t zone.

userofthiswebsite · 12/02/2018 20:04

Foundation, though that'd be a challenge to do neatly in 60 seconds.

DuckOffAutocorrectYouShiv · 12/02/2018 20:10

My face takes that long on a work day anyway. I only curl my eyelashes, add waterproof mascara and then a sweep of neutral blusher.

OCSockOrphanage · 12/02/2018 20:38

A quick brush over with Beauty Pie One Powder Wonder, brows drawn in and mascara. Job done. Plus some lippie later.

WipsGlitter · 12/02/2018 20:44

Translucent powder
Concealer
Mascara
Eyeliner

MadameBronte · 12/02/2018 20:55

Foundation on T-Zone
Under eye concealer
Tightline + mascara

Always carry a couple of Clinique Chubby Sticks in my bag, so would apply lippy/blush en route.

Have been doing lots of dashing about last minute recently and have got Minute Make Up down to a fine art.
