Why do you need a fast makeup that works like magic? You’ve heard of how the wealthiest wear the same type of shirt everyday to work and care not for it because the routine gives them leeway to focus on their priorities, and if that can be applied to simple joys (or necessities) in life like applying makeup – a win-win situation – you’d both be beautiful and efficient!

The suggestions given by one of the best makeup artists from Canada, David Goveia, help you achieve that goal – just place the essential weapons for beautification within your arm’s reach namely your moisturizer (which can either be a primer or foundation and concealer), eyeliner, eyelash curlers, and blush down to your lip gloss. He also cautioned not to emphasize the cheeks but only the eyes or the lips, possibly because less is more.

You would need two minutes to prepare your skin to look clean and smooth. There are two options to choose from as mentioned above. If you choose a primer which comes in several forms like lotions and white creams, it’s like having the advantage of both concealer and foundation. With it being applied gently by your fingertips, you need not worry about your makeup fading. On the other hand, if you choose a foundation or concealer, it saves you time by putting it only on parts that require the skin color to be even out.

In the next minute, it is advised to use eyeliner to highlight the eyelids. He recommended using purple on dark skin and black on medium to fair ones. If you have 30 seconds to spare, you may apply a shimmery white eye shadow to lighten up the eye area.

On the fourth one, keep your eyelash curler on for five seconds and apply a very black mascara afterwards as it is best for all skin tones. However, colored ones may be more appropriate for black. For finishing touches, just apply blush for 30 seconds and use lip gloss for 15 seconds as Goveia believes that women look young when they use the latter. And, voila! You’re good to go. With constant practice, this makeup habit is as easy as pie and can be tweaked with tools and methods that suit your preference over time.

Overall, your makeup makes you confident and ready to take on the world. It shows people you meet that you respect them by taking great care of how you present yourself. They say miracle is another word for hard work. And though, you worked hard (or not) on showing your best face – literally – the effort always pays off.
