5-Minute Face

smile :-)

I know, I know. You barely have time to eat breakfast in the morning, much less apply makeup. But these five key products are easy to apply, longwearing and will have you glowing and gorgeous in 5 minutes flat.


1. Best Concealer
I recently read that concealer is the beauty equivalent of a power nap. So true! There's no quicker way to fake a good night's sleep or cover up a blemish than with a good concealer. We all need a go-to one in our beauty arsenal.


2. Best Tinted Moisturizer
Whether your skin is uneven, blotchy or dull looking, we all can use a little help from time to time. A good tinted moisturizer or foundation can be an easy shortcut to looking rested and beautiful. Does the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 live up to the hype?


3. Best Cream Blush
You may have seen those new ads with Ellen DeGeneres touting the benefits of the new CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush. I put it to the longwearing test.


4. Best Longwearing Mascara
No woman's cosmetic bag can be complete without a longwearing mascara that doesn’t smudge. When I’m in a huge rush, as compared to just my usual, I’ll skip everything except mascara and gloss. I feel naked without it. How does Kiehl's Marvelous Mineral Mascara perform?


5. Best Long-Lasting Lip Gloss
I’m always on the lookout for a long-lasting lip gloss. I love the shine of gloss—it’s an instant way to make lips look plumper—but so many brands wear off before I’ve even finished my first cup of coffee. On the other end of the gloss spectrum, I find many so-call long-wearing glosses are overly sticky or end up forming unattractive lip crusties after a few hours. With that in mind, I put Clinique’s Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 to the test.
