"5-Minute Fix"

Gals often ask me, "What can I do makeup-wise with only 5 minutes in the morning?" This is the story of my life, ladies! As much as I LOOOVE to put a full, fabulous face of makeup on, I too value my beauty rest Monday through Friday. ;) So, I've got the 5-minute bright-eyed, bushy-tailed (NOT bushy-browed...haha!) work week look down to a science...

First, tame brows with some clear eyebrow gel (I use Anastasia brand, you can find it at any Sephora). Then, I apply a little pale pink concealer in the inner corners of my eyes and smudge it out (try Benefit Eye Bright pencil
I swear by it!). Next, I quickly line the bottom waterline of each eye with black kohl eyeliner (go for a drug store brand here, my dearsLoreal Le Kohl Pencil works like a charm!). Then, I finish off the look with a quick coat of black mascara (my staple is Maybelline Great Lash) and lip gloss (I'm currently obsessed with the Smashbox glossesthey're not sticky and have a hint of shimmer). And, VOILA, I look awake enough to head to the office. (Of course, an extra large Dunkin' Donuts coffee helps me feel as vibrant as I look...).

Hope this helps you DKBeauties look radiant rapido! ;) Happy weekend!
