Five-Minute Makeup
by Wendy Martin-AltemusRead Wendy's story
My clients are always asking me how they can do their makeup faster. Here's my strategy for covering the essentials in five minutes or less.

Minute 1 Using concealer brush and fingertips, pat and blend concealer onto blemishes, undereye circles and any redness or discolorations.

Minute 2 With wedge foundation sponge or foundation brush, blend foundation evenly over face, being careful to not wipe away concealer previously applied.

Minute 3 Dip powder brush into loose powder and brush under and over eyes, and T-zone.

Minute 4 Curl lashes with eyelash curler, then apply black mascara on top lashes only.

Minute 5 Bronze cheeks and eyes with blush brush and apply your favorite lip color.
With practice, you will get even faster!
