My Go-To 5 Minute Makeup for Women Over 40

Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. I'm Lisa. I'm going to demonstrate my five-minute makeup routine that I do every day. It really is about five minutes or less. There are very few steps involved so it's quick and easy and I like that, you know, I don't have a whole lot of products to work with so I can easily put them on and then be out the door rather quickly. So I have my skincare and my sunscreen on. I'm going to start with my foundation and what I'm going to use is the Westman Atelier foundation stick. This is in the color 0.5N and I just put it in certain areas. I do plan to go in with concealer after this step so I generally don't start with a lot and honestly this foundation is becoming a little bit light since I got some sun these past few weeks now that the weather is warmer so I'll probably need a darker shade pretty soon for the warmer months ahead and even though it's looking a little bit too light I'm not too worried about it because I'm going to go in with a little bit of a contour and bronzer. Okay, next I'm going to go in with some concealer and this is the Dior concealer. It's in the color 2N and I use this pretty sparingly because I don't want anything too heavy and I'll just do that and then just kind of tap it in with my finger. Okay, just blend it out. I don't try to fully cover all the imperfections on my skin because then that makeup look would just look very heavy and I'll probably want to set it with powder and that's just too much I think for every day. Right now everything feels like it's setting really nicely and it doesn't look too thick so I'm happy with that. Alright and then the next step I'm going to do is contour. I love the Westman Atelier Contour Stick. This one is in the color Biscuit. I just use a little bit just to bring some definition back to my face and now that I'm in my 40s I don't really want to add a whole lot of contouring because I feel like for me some of that volume kind of gives me a more energetic youthful look which I like so I generally go in with a lighter hand when it comes to contour because I can always add more but it's hard to take away. Okay and then what I'm gonna do next is the bronzing powder and this one I love. This is the RMS Bronzing Powder and this one is in the color Beachwalk Betty. Alright just gonna grab a bronzing brush. This one is the Hourglass number two brush. I'm going to use that for the bronzer here. Okay and just kind of gently sweep across my cheek wherever the sun will naturally hit so that means a little bit on the highest point of my brow, top of my nose, a little bit on my chin. I'm not going in with a heavy hand so everything is still kept very light and natural. Okay after that I'm gonna go in with an eyeliner and this is kind of a cross between an eyeliner and a eyeshadow so it's a kind of all-in-one product that I love. It's the Chanel, this is the Stylo Ombre at Contour and this one is in the shade Contour Claire. Okay number 12. Alright I'm just gonna put it, let me grab a mirror here, I'm just gonna put it near the lash line. It's very creamy and once it sets it really doesn't budge and this color is looking pretty natural on me. It's a cooler, I would say taupe so it doesn't pool orange which I like. I tend to have oily skin in the warmer months so foundation or eyeshadows, eyeliners, they can start showing up as like an orange on me as the day goes on so I now know that neutrals and cooler tones are looking better and last better on my skin type. Alright and I just slightly blend it out. It's very subtle which I like. Okay and then next we'll do the mascara and I have the Shiseido Mascara Curler or eyelash curler I should say and this one I'm just gonna go in and just curl them real quick. Alright and then for my mascara I am using the Thrive Tubing Mascara so this one's great because it actually forms like a tube once it dries so it doesn't smudge as the day goes on and I don't get like panda eyes if the weather's really hot and I start to sweat. So this one's really good for every day and once I put it on I don't really need to worry about it. I don't have to like check my eyelashes in the middle of the day to see if I have any smudges down there so that's that's really nice. I just put one coat on there and it doesn't clump very much so it's easy to just kind of glide it on the lashes and separation's really good. Not too much volume which is really fine for me every day. It's a more natural look. I just want my eyes to look more awake and our goal here is to just look polished and fresh. Alright I don't do anything to my bottom lashes or you know I don't line my bottom lash line either. I keep everything just kind of simple. If I'm going out and I want a more dressier look and makeup look then I will apply eyeshadow and bottom eyeliner, do my bottom lashes, all of that all of that stuff but for every day I skip that step. Okay alright next I'm going to do the eyebrows and this one is the Black Diamond Lucid Touch Eyebrow Pencil. Alright and I just lightly kind of line my eyebrows by catching the hairs instead of trying to draw a hard line in and then I take the brush and I just brush it out also going in with a light touch just letting the eyebrow pencil catch the brow hairs that I already have and then I just brush it out. I find that that's the most natural look for me so I don't have like a hard line kind of shaping my brows but it's more of a gradual kind of natural ombre powdery effect. Okay just like that. Alright and then the last step well two more steps really I'm going to apply lip color and this one is the Chanel let's see here this one is the Chanel lip color with a setting gloss and this lip color actually is a very long lasting lip formula. The trick is you have to remember to let it set you want the color side to set before you apply the sealing gloss so I just put a little bit of the color on my lip and I usually use my finger to kind of blend it out because I just want a thin layer on my lips rather than a very thick lipstick look. I just want a little bit more color and that's that's all I need so I take a little bit of the pigment if there's not enough I add a little bit more and then I blend it out okay and then you want it to set you know it's set when it has that kind of a tacky feeling okay and then I go in with the sealing gloss and just a little bit also don't want a lot I don't really like a very shiny lip look for every day especially so I just dab on a little bit of the sealing gloss and then I blend it out okay and this this product will last pretty much all day even through lunch eating and drinking that's all fine all right great now the last step is blush so I have bronzer on so I just you know this is kind of where I decide if I want a little bit more color and I will go in with a little more color today this is the Westman Atelier blush stick and this is in the color Bichette and I just dab it very lightly just on my cheeks going in kind of a sweeping motion upwards and that's it that is my makeup look this is pretty much what I do every day I will wear this makeup look to work I will wear it out to see friends to go out to dinner it's great for all kinds of occasions and then like I said if I need to look more dressed up then I can easily do a smoky eye on top of all of this and then I'm finished I hope this was helpful to you guys it's my everyday go-to makeup look and if you have any questions please leave it in the comment below and subscribe and like this video if you do thank you so much and I'll see you in the next video
