In honor of last weeks camp lifestyle, for the rest of this week I’ll be sharing video tutorials on how to get ready when you have a very limited amount of time. I’ll pair these looks with “easy to assemble” outfits to show you that 15 minutes is more than enough time to look fabulous! To start us off, today’s video is my three minute makeup routine (I’ll be honest, it’s a little horrifying letting you all see me makeup-less, but c’est la vie). With a few basic products, you can get a pretty day look with minimal effort. Enjoy!
The end results.
Physicians Formula tinted moisturizer, Bare Minerals powder, theBalm Hot Mama blush, Blistex chapstick, Tarte lipstain pencil, Stila eyeliner pen, Covergirl Lashblast mascara
The Stila liquid eyeliner is probably my absolute favorite beauty product right now. Super easy to use, very waterproof, and has a nice thin end for precision. Around $20, but definitely worth it!
What is your “quick” makeup routine? What are your go-to products? Let me know!
PS – I always lose a lot of video quality when I upload the file; does anyone have any suggestions on how to maintain better quality?

Yay! The little amount of products = a lot more packing space too!

How I wish I was better with makeup… eyeliner becomes a disaster when I attempt it. I will have to try this next time I am in a makeup rush.
Try Vimeo for your videos… I am pretty sure you can upload HD quality there.

Girl that’s why that Stila pen is SO GOOD. I’m horrible with it too, but the tip is so thin and sturdy that it makes is super simple. Thanks for the Vimeo tip!

Great job! I did a post once on a 5 minute makeup routine, pretty similar. As long as you’re picking good quality products it makes it a lot easier!

Oh I need to check that out! It’s so true though, all the stuff I used takes little layering and has a lot of precision.

Minute makeup is my fave – you look gorg, Maria! My quick makeup routine is all about the eyes – mascara and eyeliner; followed by lip gloss!

Thanks love! It’s true, if you can get down the eyes, that makes a huge difference

For a girl who doesn’t wear makeup except for special occasions…you inspire me to try! Usually makeup takes too long (10 mins minimum) but 3 minutes I could do.
Where is the stila eyeliner from and the tarte lipstain? I have the covergirl lipstain and it’s too dry.

Hey girl, sorry it took me awhile to respond. You can get both from Sephora.com (or in stores). I highly recommend them for quick and easy application
