Learning how to apply make-up in less than five minutes takes lots of practice

Learning how to apply makeup in less than five minutes takes lots of practice. Specific make-up techniques can help to speed up the process. When applying make-up there are certain things that you should do and some processes that can be left out in order to put make up on as quickly as possible.

A common myth is that makeup takes forever to apply. This is simply not true. There are many ways to put makeup on as fast as possible. It is essential to have your most important makeup and tools available and on hand, before you begin. That may mean that you lay out your stash of products on the counter the night before. You can even have them in a particular order such as your first makeup bottle to your last product. Keeping them in a neat order will save on the time it takes to get out your products and play around with them.

Deciding on which makeup to have ready, depends on what you need the most. For easy makeup application the best thing to do is just use the basics; foundation, mascara and lipstick. Anything else is just an extra and adding more makeup then that can take time and can be for days when you have more time to apply makeup.

So when your makeup is picked out and ready to go, you are ready to try your makeup routine test. Remember that there is no reason why all of the makeup you picked out cannot be applied in less than five minutes. So with that added confidence you can try your first attempt at putting on makeup fast.

Start with the foundation first. Dab a bit on your cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. Just a small dot on each of these places will do. Then using a sponge or your finger begins rubbing it around, covering the places that need it the most. For most people it`s the T-zone that needs the most care. That is where pores and possible blackheads tend to linger and where coverage is most liked. In that region you can spend a bit more time covering up, for your forehead and chin, just a quick swipe will do the trick and add some balanced foundation coverage.

Next apply your mascara. This little tool will wake your eyes and make them look stunning. You can begin with your upper lashes and brush them out under and over the lashes, then quickly brush out the bottom lashes if you want or you can leave them. Your lashes will make your makeup look almost complete.

The final step to makeup application in five minutes is your administering of lipstick. Color on the lips can make your face shine with color and light. Whereas before you might have looked like a zombie, putting on some lipstick tends to make the color on your cheeks stand out and dress up your look. Any color that you like will do. Just put it on the bottom and then the top lip, press your lips together and you`re done.

Putting on makeup can be complicated or it can be easy. If you watch a makeover show, the makeup artists make it look complex, with liners and several different eye shadow brushes. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to think about all the different kinds of makeup and the way it can be applied. However if you keep it simple and stick to the basics, you can look amazing and not spend too much time putting it on.
