My 5 Minute Makeup Routine (Quick, Easy & Glowy)

 
 
 

I’ve been stepping out of my comfort zone lately and trying lots of new makeup products — which honestly isn’t always like me, since I tend to stay pretty loyal to my everyday favorites. But after a lot of testing, these are the products that have earned a spot in my daily routine and help me pull together a quick, glowy makeup look in about five minutes.

Whether I’m heading out the door for school drop-off, a shoot, or just a busy day of work and life — this is the simple routine I’ve been reaching for over and over again.


Skin Prep & Base

Iris & Romeo Weekend Skin SPF 50 Instant Glow Tinted Mineral Sunscreen
I start with this as my base — it gives my skin a nice glow, evens things out, and gives me the sun protection I need.

Haus Labs Concealer (Shade Light Rosy)
A little concealer goes a long way to brighten under my eyes and cover any spots or redness.

Maybelline Fit Me Powder Foundation (Shade 220)
I lightly set everything with this powder foundation to keep things in place without feeling too heavy.

Bronzer, Contour & Blush

Victoria Beckham Bronzer

Victoria Beckham Contour Stick
These two give me a natural warmth and subtle contour without a lot of effort — they blend so easily.

MAC Glow Play Blush (Shade Plush Pepper)
Depending on the day, I’ll rotate between these blushes for a little extra color and glow.

Brows, Eyes & Lashes

Anastasia Brow Freeze Gel
I swipe this through my brows to keep them in place and looking fluffy.

Benefit Precisely My Brow (Shade Medium Blonde)
For a little extra brow definition when needed.

Tower 28 Mascara (Shade Drift)
This mascara gives great separation and length without clumping.

Lips & Finishing Touches

Clinique Chubby Stick (Shade Fuller Fig)
My all time favorite for a hint of color that’s super moisturizing and easy to throw on.

Covey Next Up Vitamin C Serum
Of course, I always prep my skin with my Covey staples to keep everything hydrated and glowing underneath my makeup.

Why This Routine Works For Me

I love this routine because it’s quick, glowy, and doesn’t feel heavy — even on busy mornings. I can pull it together in 5–10 minutes, and it makes me feel polished without looking overly done. All of these products layer really well, and most importantly, they just make me feel like the best version of myself.
