Quick Tricks: The 5-Minute Face

Get your makeup done in just five minutes with these in-a-flash tricks.

Step 1: Foundation

Mix dime-size amounts of sunscreen and liquid foundation -- we like Maybelline New York FIT me! -- in the palm of your hand and apply it like lotion. For foolproof blending, "make sure they're the same type of formula -- both oil-free, for example," says Petra Strand, a Los Angeles-based makeup artist.

Step 2: Concealer

Using a concealer stick, such as Maybelline New York FIT me! Concealer, swipe a line of color along the orbital bone of each eye. (Think football-player stripes.) To nix dark shadows, work the color into your skin with fingertips; the warm touch will help the makeup go on smoothly, preventing a cakey effect.

          

Step 3: Blush

Dot cream blush, like Maybelline New York Dream Mousse Blush, onto the apples of your cheeks; blend in a circular motion. Then tap the shade onto your lips. "Applying the same color to your skin and mouth instantly awakens your face," Strand explains.

Step 4: Eyes

Hold an old credit or business card just above your upper lashes. Wiggle the brush of your mascara -- try Maybelline New York Volume Express 

Step 5: Eye Liners

Back and forth at the roots. This applies "a thick layer of dark color at the lash line, eliminating the need for liner," Strand says.
