Transcript
00:02Hey everyone, it's Taylor with Refinery29. Today I'm going to show you how to do a full face of
00:07makeup in five minutes or less. The key to getting a quick makeup look is to choose products that are
00:13versatile and dimensional. So today I'm going to be using the Hourglass Veil oil-free full
00:18coverage foundation. To save time, I'm going to squirt it on my hand before I apply it. And using
00:25a fluffy blending brush, picking up from my hand, I'm just going to blend the foundation where I need
00:30it, which for some people won't be your whole face. But because I want to use as little of concealer
00:39as
00:40possible, I'm going to try to get as much coverage as I can with the foundation. I like using a
00:46fluffy brush because it ends up sort of blending out any lines and creases that you'll get from
00:51using a regular foundation brush, which again is going to save you time. Now time for concealer.
00:58Today I'm going to be using the Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer. And I'm just going to apply
01:03this wherever the foundation didn't get, so specifically under the eye and any redness
01:09around my nose. This stuff is really, really full coverage, so a little bit goes a long way.
01:26Now since we're doing a five minute face, we're going to skip bronzer, but we want a blush that's
01:30going to be brightening and lifting. So today I'm going to be using the Benefit Coralista Blush.
01:35This is a neutral peachy color that has a lot of shimmer to it. I'm just going to be using
01:41a basic
01:42blush brush for this, but going higher up on the cheekbones. You'll probably be tempted to go into
01:49the apples of the cheek, but we really want to waken up the face, so the higher up the better.
01:55Now it's time for the eyes. For the eyes, I'm only going to use one product, but we're going to
01:59build
01:59it as we go. So I'm going to be using the Illusion d'Hombre by Chanel in Illusoire. This is
02:05a really
02:05unique formula. It's actually cream to powder, and the color that I've chosen is really neutral. It's
02:10not too warm, and it's not too cool, so it's going to work on every skin tone. I'm going to
02:15start by
02:15applying it with my finger really close to the lash line, and then we'll use a brush to kind of
02:19blend
02:19it out. This stuff is great, too, because you don't need an eye primer with it. And I'm just going
02:29to
02:29put this on the lid right up to the crease. It sort of turns into a powder as you work
02:33with it, so it's
02:34really easy to blend out. Now that I've applied it as I want it, I'm going to go in with
02:43a fluffy brush
02:44and just kind of put it into the crease a little bit more heavy on the outer corners.
02:51I'm going right into the crease just below the brow bone to kind of show more definition when
02:56the eye is open as well. Since we're skipping eyeliner, the key is to get a super volumizing
03:00mascara that's going to sort of add definition to the base of the lashes. So today I'm going to be
03:05using
03:05the Pixi Large Lash Mascara. Now this brush is pretty big, so I'm going to concentrate it really
03:13close to my lash line and just flick it out as I go. This is going to create the illusion
03:21that there
03:22is eyeliner and definition on the lid.
03:31So for the lips, I'm going to use a neutral pencil to fill in the whole lip and create more
03:35definition,
03:36and we're going to top it off with a brightening lip gloss. So I'm going to be using the Victoria's
03:41Secret Lip Pencil in nude, and I'm just going to kind of put it on haphazardly because I'm going
03:46to blend it out with my finger in a second.
03:54The key is to just get a little color on the lip and a little bit of definition.
04:04And the lip gloss I'm going to be using is the Lola Lip Gloss called Muse.
04:07It's a brightening, neutral color that's going to sort of pull the whole look together.
04:18And I like to go in with a pencil once I'm done with that as well.
04:29And there you have it, a full face in less than five minutes. So you can sleep in and still
04:34look great.
04:34But I like to go in with a little bit of the paper.
04:34I like to go in with a little bit.
04:35So for the first time I'm going to type something in the Lola Lipgloss.
04:38The small is a little bit through the little hole.
04:40I like to go in with one little bit of the paper.
04:43I like to go in with some of the little things.
