5 Minute Face

Step 1: Foundation
Mix dime-size amounts of sunscreen and liquid foundation in the palm of your hand and apply it like lotion.

Step 2: Concealer
Using a concealer stick, swipe a line of color along the orbital bone of each eye. (Think football-player stripes.) To fix 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, 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.

Step 4: Eyes
Hold an old credit or business card just above your upper lashes. Wiggle the brush of your mascara back and forth at the roots. This applies a thick layer of dark color at the lash line, eliminating the need for liner.
