Beauty Hack: The 15-Minute Daily Makeup

Let’s be real: if your daily makeup takes more than 15 minutes, you’re doing it wrong. For work or school, who has the time to stare into a mirror for 40 minutes? The goal? Fast, efficient, and reliable—so you look the same every day (because no one wants the teacher thinking you swapped faces mid-semester). Here’s my routine: 1️⃣ Focus on base makeup. I spend over half my time here because a clean, glowing base beats any fancy contour. My liquid contour, highlight, and blush are all part of this step. I contour only the nose tip, philtrum, and chin—no harsh jawlines or cheekbones for my naturally slim face. 2️⃣ Must-haves: colored contacts, eye bags (a.k.a. lower lash highlight), and mascara. I skip eyelash curling—just a quick brush is enough. Bonus: with eye bags done, I don’t even need lower lash mascara. 3️⃣ Brows or tinted brow gel—only if needed. 4️⃣ Beauty marks! I dot over my natural moles with a gel liner for flair. Eyeliner and lower lash line? Only if your hands are steady. Lipstick? Optional—you’ll eat it off anyway. This routine? Fast, flawless, and lasts all day. #beauty #makeup #dailymakeup
