If I have.... My Rush Routine
After my bath, I take 2 minutes to set my hair & apply a body spray (both are essential, I would rather go without make up than skip these), after this,
If I have.... (I call this my Rush Routine)
less than 30 seconds: I just run. Apply tinted lip balm once I reach office.
30 seconds: I just grab the mascara tube and leave. I apply mascara once I get to office
1 minute: Apply mascara & leave. Tinted lip balm on way.
2 minutes: Tinted moisturiser & mascara. Apply tinted lip balm on way to office.
3 minutes: Tinted moisturiser (TM), cream blush & mascara. Lip balm stays in purse and by now you know the routine
5 minutes: TM, cream blush, eye liner & mascara.
7 minutes: TM, cream blush, eye liner, lip gloss & mascara
It ends here, I rarely get more than 7 minutes to do my make up for office, and these are rare days.
Most of my time when applying makeup is wasted in looking for liners and gloss that compliment my outfit. This is not the case with mascara (which is always black for me) and cream blush (always a soft pink for office).
So what's your Rush Routine? What is the one product you absolutely need?
i am always in the less than 30 sec routine, never had the luxury of 7 mins :(
ReplyDelete@Retnu: Awww.. Most days I manage between 2 to 3 minutes. So I always have mascara & cream blush on. I feel that these two products make the most difference to my face and my overall skin appearance.
ReplyDeleteIt does not matter how early I get up.Its always a rush for me.And Im glad if I have done my buttons properly.But I keep my moisturizer and lip balm in the bathroom and apply it as soon as I wash my face.
ReplyDeleteI always get up at least an hour and a half (ideally - if not, at the very, very least an hour) before I have to leave. Makeup is essential to my overall confidence when going out during the day :) Mostly because I have sensitive, slightly problem skin so it's taking time for mineral makeup application is important. Looking forward to the days wherein I can just confidently go with mascara!
ReplyDeleteTotally loved your post!!!

ReplyDeleteMy rushed routine is TM, Kajal & Mascara. Lip Balm or Lip gloss while driving to work. However I am not having any rushed routine crises. I get about 10 mins to get ready before I leave for work:)
