Going through your whole makeup bag to get ready every morning might not be possible all the time. Whether you don't have enough time left for your makeup routine or you are not up to the task, five-minute lazy girl routines with the right makeup choices could be the strategy that saves your morning.
5-Minute Lazy Girl Makeup Routine
For a quick and easy lazy girl makeup routine, start by washing your face and gently wiping it dry, followed by a moisturizer with SPF to hydrate and protect your skin. Dab on concealer to hide dark spots or blemishes, then dust on loose powder foundation and blush for a fresh look. Sweep a single shade of eyeshadow across your lids and finish with magnetic eyeliner and lashes for an effortless glam look. Swipe on lip balm or sheer gloss for a natural finish.
Here are some lazy girl makeup choices fit for your five-minute routine:
