My 5-Minute Makeup Must-Haves for an Effortless Glow

My 5-Minute Makeup Must-Haves for an Effortless Glow

Skincare is always my top priority, but let’s be real—sometimes you just need a little something extra to feel polished and put together. I don’t wear makeup often, but when I do, it has to be quick, natural, and weightless. Enter: my 5-minute makeup routine.

This routine is all about enhancing—not covering—so my skin still shines through. It’s makeup that feels like skincare, works effortlessly, and lasts all day. Whether I’m running out the door or hopping on a last-minute Zoom call, these products never let me down.

Ready to upgrade your quick makeup game? Here are my absolute must-haves:
