Disclaimer, this makeup tutorial comes from real life experience with poor nap time management……..
How Lydia’s morning nap normally looks (in my mind):
She’s asleep. Nope, she’s not. Ok, now she’s REALLY asleep. I think. Better wait a few minutes just in case. Alright, one more cup of coffee. Make that two. I’ll check a few emails, then hop in the shower. Oh no, it’s been 30 minutes! Check twitter. Check instagram. Shower……victory! All done. Oh wait, she’ll be up in 5 minutes……..I need SOME makeup, don’t I?
Moms, you can relate right? Ladies who have to run out the door for work, you too? Yup, we’ve all had those days where time gets away from you…..and you find yourself with 5 minutes to do your makeup. After way too many days of skipping makeup all together, I finally found a 5 minute face routine that makes me feel pretty and pulled together. The best part? It’s all drugstore makeup available at Walgreen’s. A full face at a decent price point? SCORE!
After quite a few 5 minute experiments…..I figured out the makeup products that provide maximum impact in minimum time. I love how soft and glowy this look is…..perfect for summer!
The most important steps in a 5 minute face? Prep + Conceal, Enhance and Finish.
Prepping and concealing with primer, bb cream and a concealer creates the perfect canvas…..and hides those dark circles. A cream blush and eyebrow gel come next…….it’s amazing what a well defined brow and flushed cheek will do for a plain face! To finish off a speedy primping session? A gloss that lasts ALL day and great mascara.
A few hints for speed: keep your products out and ready to go and apply all with your fingers….I didn’t use a single brush for this!
See? 5 minutes….and you’re ready to go!

What are your favorite 5 minute face makeup products?
Wow. First of all, you are so beautiful. That hair and those freckles — I’m dying! So cool.
Anywho — I love shopping at Walgreens for beauty supplies because they carried some cruelty-free brands that I enjoy. In particular, I love trying new products from the “Say Yes!” line. Currently, I use a Grapefruit CC cream they sell and it is amazing! It still lets my freckles shine through too!
If you are interested in switching to cruelty-free products, I’d recommend checking out that product line. It is great for newbies to the cruelty-free movement like me!

That’s a great tutorial. I don’t wear makeup, but I am sure lots of people can use this.
I’m a big believer in 5 minute beauty! 🙂 Kids do that to ya.
Thanks for the info, I always pass this along to the nieces.
As I always say, they do love their blogging Uncle, no one else ever has any make up samples for them!

Oh goodness it looks like I need to head to walgreens! I love the products you picked:)
I just started to use a BB cream and seen amazing changes in my skin . 5 minutes is my max.
Those are some great products! I love BB cream for the fast application.
Great tutorial. My 5 minute face includes moisturizer, concealer, bronzer, mascara & lip gloss!
I live off a 5 minute makeup routine. My family is always calling me in different directions.
I’m all about the 5 minute makeover. I dont have much time to do anything else.
Yes! Five minutes sounds about right! My routine and products look ver similar, it’s funny how us mama’s streamline our routines once kids arrive, isn’t it?!
As a beginner to makeup, this is awesome for me! The mascara looks great on you and so does the lip color. 🙂
It seems redheads have a universal penchant for Maybelline – I wear their BB cream and Pumped Up Colossal mascara almost every day! I need to try that Pore Eraser though.
I’m obviously not a makeup wearer, but I support any product like this that will HELP YOU GALS GET READY ON TIME!!!
These are some great products! Your skin looks fabulous.
I never wear make-up, because it seems like such a hassle, but I can see that maybe it doesn’t have to take as much time as I think it does. Thanks for this post!
This post was great. I don’t have a Walgreen close but I am sure I could find a lot of these at another store. I am really wanting to try some BB cream.
You are STUNNING! I love your freckles. You did a great job with this tutorial.
LOVE all of these products!!
MB’s BB cream was a favorite of mine for a LONG time. Now I love Clinique’s Even Better foundation because it lasts longer in the day and doesn’t fade 🙂
PS – your red hair is rocking in these pics!
Loving the natural look on you. Your freckles are adorable!

It never takes me longer than 5 minutes to get ready but I have kids so…… LOL The makeup does look absolutely beautiful on you. I am in the market for some new blush so I will be sure and check it out!
great tutorial. I love seeing what others do make up wise. I’ve been doing make up so long I’m not sure i’m doing it right.
You are JUST gorgeous! <3 I love what you picked! <3
Awesome choices, I use a lot of Maybelline myself.
great tips. I love some of those products for myself
I need a new gloss that will last all day. I feel like mine is gone within 20-30 minutes of putting it on.
Great tutorial! I just purchased the Revlon Color stay Gloss! I am completely in love with how long it lasts! Definitely great for those days when you’re on the go!
So easy, love it!
That’s awesome! I love anything quick and easy.
My daughter uses that BB cream and the primer! They both work very well for both of you. I love how casual and summery your makeup looks!
I’m not big on makeup…if you ask me to choose between an extra 15 minutes sleeping in or putting on makeup…I would choose sleeping. When I need to wear makeup for big occasions I get it professionally done. However, five minute makeup sounds perfect for me. I love the lip gloss…this is one thing that I always wear.
I love the variety and prices of makeup at Walgreens. I’m loving your 5 minute look.
You make it sound so easy! Love this. My daughter loves the “baby” line so I know she’s love the baby face product!
I love this tutorial, my teens take forever to get ready. One of them needs an hour and a half to get ready – I need to show her this.
That BB cream and Bouncy Blush are my staples! I have so many shades of Bouncy blush it’s ridiculous! I see some other new finds I will have to be checking out as well!
Great tutorial with fabulous products! Revlon ColorStay is my LIFESAVER! Hope you’re having a wonderful week!
xo,

This is actually a fab list! I need to try that bb cream. I’ve been unimpressed with the others I’ve tried.
I will have to try some of these!
5 minute makeup is my language!
You look amazing!
Looks great! I’m still trying to get my makeup routine down to five minutes! LOL
I LOVE bouncy blush!! I have it in like 3 different colors. It’s my fave!
I’ve heard so many great things about the Maybelline BB cream! I’ve been using the Garnier but when I run out, I might have to give this one a try!
Love the look you created!
Great tips. I am always running out the door. So much to do before I get to work.
Wow, you look gorgeous! I’d love to try that blush and pore eraser!
That’s such a pretty, fresh look. I feel like I take forever to “put my face on” in the morning. I really need to take some of these tips to heart. (and I LOVE your freckles. Seriously. Mine only come out in the summer and I wish I had them all year long.)
love the look you created, very pretty!
Great photos! I have been using the Maybelliene BB Cream, but I think it’s clogging my pores :/
Beautiful! I use a bit of foundation, quick eye liner and some mascara and lip gloss. That’s it. I was always told that make up shouldn’t look like make up. I love the look!
You are gorgeous! Great quick tutorial. I love it. I rarely wear make up because I just dread how long it takes, this will be great to use as reference!
You look so fresh and pretty! I need to pick up those new Revlon lip stains. They look gorgeous!
My friend swears by BB cream. You always look so beautiful!
Thats my fav bb cream!
BB Cream and gloss are definitely up there. I love a little mascara too!
You did an awesome job, love the tutorial and the products you chose from Walgreens. I added the post on our SoFabConnect Google + 🙂
You’re so adorable – your hair looks fab! Love this 5 minutes face!! I need to try that Maybelline BB!!
That’s the second time I have seen that Pumped Up mascara. I think I’m going to give that a try.
Love the make up, too pretty! Love your hair too!
I’m a new Mary Kay rep. So, I’m all about those products now for makeup and skincare.
Ummm… I love your hair!!! Oh, and those freckles are amazing…love it!
Yes, a 5minute face is a MUST as a mother. I love that drugstore brands are making quality products to provide that.
I love the clean fresh look of your make-up. That’s always my goal when wearing any.
Beautiful look! I definitely appreciate the advice! I need a fast makeup routine!
This is a great tutorial! I need to get some of that Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser!
I need to work on minimizing my makeup routine – I’d even be impressed with 15 minutes haha. Great picks, you look fabulous 🙂
I love your smile! I’ll have to try out these products sometime.
Me and makeup have a weird relationship. We tend to avoid each other. 🙁
I do manage a little lip gloss though.
Way to rock that 5 minute face. Very pretty.
Great tutorial. Do you like the BB cream? Is it ashy or yellow?
So pretty! I love BB creams.
Love this look! So easy 🙂
i’ve been wanting to try that pore eraser for forever…mine are huge and i hate it…also, my everyday routine is a five minute face and i love how fast and easy it is!
I think with this routine I can actually keep up! Thanks for sharing!
what a great tutorial!
I live for the 5 minute face.
You are SO beautiful! That blush is one of my favorites!
I love 5 min make up tips, esp now I have a little one 🙂
I love all of these products and you look beautiful as always.
You’re rocking your freckles! They look adorable on you!
Simple make up is the way to go!
I identify with the nap time thing more than I’d care to admit. At least when my daughters were napping. Now it’s trying to gauge whether or not car makeup is a good deal in exchange for 5 minutes more sleep! #client
Great post! Five minutes is all the time that I am willing to allot to make up in the AM- so this is great for me!
