Effortless 5 Minute Makeup Routine

TRANSCRIPT

Hi, I'm Briony Kennedy, the founder of Adorn Cosmetics, and I'm going to share with you my makeup hacks that I use in the morning when I just need to quickly drop my kids off to school. Maybe I haven't got the time to do a full face of makeup, but I still just really want to look fresh, and let's face it, just don't want to look tired.

So, all I do is I just quickly put on a pump of the primer. I just feel that I need some moisturizer in the morning. Sometimes I might even just grab the rosewater instead of even priming or moisturizing my face, so either one of those products just to give the skin a quick drink.

Then, what I do is I grab the Skin Radiance Illuminizer. Okay, I just put a pump on my finger like this. This is really quick. This product has a little bit of coverage in it, but what I like about it is it's got a tiny little bit of luminescence in it as well. So, I've just dotted around my cheeks, my forehead, and my chin. I grab either my Kabuki brush or my blush bronzer brush, and I just really quickly blend this in.

The reason I love this product is that it just gives you that little bit of coverage where you need it. Where we usually got a little bit of veins, maybe you've got a bit of pigment damage, so you can see that that's just erased the look of that, not totally, but it's raised a little bit of that pigment damage. It's also helped lift that under-eye circle on this side of my face. Okay, not covered it, but it's enough to give me that freshness.

So, it's literally put your primer moisturizer on or spritz your face with rosewater, one pump of the liquid illuminizer, dab it on your cheeks and your chin, the tip of your nose, your forehead, and then just blend it all over the face. So, this is my morning pickup or my really quick makeup to look super fresh in the morning, especially when I don't have time.

So, it's just the liquid illuminizer. Then, I get the PG Sleep concealer, which is going to wind up in a biodegradable tube. I just quickly, with two fingers, just dot that on the corner of my eye. They're always really black in there, and you'll see very quickly that I will not have any dark circles. Now, that's the secret to looking fresh and flawless. It's just to hide those dark circles. Don't put too much concealer on, but just enough that I look awake, I look fresh, and I have just concealed and disguised any veins, capillaries, and any sort of pigmentation.

And I've just got that slight, subtle luminous dew to the skin. If you prefer, you could actually do the same thing with your loose minerals again. If you're wanting that real quick application, I do recommend using the blush bronzer brush and instead of the Kabuki brush, and you could just use your mineral foundation. And then what you could do is just literally dust that down the T-zone. The T-zone is where we get all of the veins, discoloration, you know, just that redness that you want to hide to keep the freshness.

So, if you would prefer to use the loose minerals as opposed to the liquid illuminizer, you could do that. And then just literally pop that down the center of the face just to even out the complexion. Put your peachy sleep concealer on, and then you are done. So, it's just going to give you a nice flawless finish without having to put foundation all over the face.

Now, if you're really happy with how quick that is because that's that probably will take you less than a minute to do, you may want to then add in, and this is just an extra step. You don't have to do it, but you may then want to add in just a quick bronzer on the cheeks, like just a teeny tiny amount. Just buff that in super quick. Okay, I like to work left on the brush. Just quickly go over my eyes to help disguise any of the discoloration on my eyelids. I might even just slightly go over my concealer. My cake, so if you wanted to add that extra little tipping that is just adding in the bronzer.

Then, all I do is I just put a quick lick of the Bridget lip gloss on, and I grab the curlers. I don't put any mascara on. I haven't got time. So, I just quickly curl my lashes because just using the curling wand will give you longer-looking lashes for at least a couple of hours even without any product on them. See, look at that. Okay, so I've got time for mascara or eyeliner and smudging mascara on my face.

So, I just use the lash curlers, and then that's enough to open up my eyes to do a quick school drop off for the kids. So, just to recap, if you've got no time, you've woken up, you look really tired, and most of us look a little bit, I suppose, sallow. We can even look, have that discoloration in the face. If you're just wanting something really quick, really effective, the liquid illuminizer is a really good option. Just to put on the forehead, the cheekbones, just on the chin, and blend it in with your Kabuki or your blush bronzer brush.

Then, all you need to do is quickly put a little bit of the peachy sleep concealer to disguise those dark circles. If you've got makeup on from yesterday, get rid of it with a cotton tip because that will mix in with your concealer, and it's going to undo all of that amazing work that the concealer does in hiding those dark circles. And then if you've got the time, quick bit of bronzer on your cheeks and Ridge lip gloss. Curl your lashes with the lash curler, and you are done. You look fresh. It's simple. It's quick, and I promise you can do it under two minutes
