Let’s be real: Sometimes, there’s simply not enough time in the world to accomplish everything you have to get done.

Luckily, with the right five-minute makeup tips and tricks, you can cut down on your beauty routine and still look gorg. Below, we share our favorite speedy five-minute makeup hacks and three foolproof makeup routines tailored to exactly how many minutes you can spare. We got you, girl!
5-MINUTE MAKEUP HACKS
Not willing to let your beauty routine compete with your beauty sleep? With these five-minute makeup hacks you won’t have to.
HACK #1: APPLY FACE MAKEUP WITH A MAKEUP BLENDER
Brushes might look pretty on your nightstand and offer a lot of versatility, but when you’re short on time, you’ll quickly realize that a makeup blender can get the job done faster! So, stock your makeup bag with the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender.
HACK #2: USE A HIGHLIGHT KIT
To eliminate unnecessary decisions when you’re still trying to wake up, grab a face makeup kit instead of searching for separate bronzers and highlighters. The L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glow Nude Highlighter Palette has everything you need to emphasize your best features—bronzer, blush, and highlighter—all in one palette.
HACK #3: TRY THE “E + 3” METHOD FOR CONTOURING
Now, you have the palette, but what about the technique? There are a few options when it comes to contouring your face in a fuss-free way, the first of which is known as “E+3.” First, using your bronzer color, draw an E shape beginning at your temples, tracing along your cheekbone, and back out toward your jawline. Repeat the same process on the other side of your face, making a 3 shape. Now that your bronzer is perfectly in place, it’s time to blend, blend, blend. Voila!
HACK #4: DO THE “FIGURE 8” TRICK
Ready to get your glow on? After you’ve applied your foundation and matte bronzer, grab your favorite highlighter and map a figure eight around your eyes for an instantly brightened effect. Use one of the shades from your palette for some serious convenience.
HACK #5: STROBE LIKE A PRO
No time for contouring and highlighting? No worries! You can make your features pop by strobing—a technique which involves using only highlighter—on your brow bones, cheekbones, the center of your nose, and your cupid’s bow. Gorgeous and glowing? Sign us up!
THE PERFECT MAKEUP ROUTINE BASED ON HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVE
Now that you know the top tricks to help make your face look sculpted—after all, that’s what tends to take up the most time, anyway—you might be wondering how you can fit this into your routine for a fully made-up face. Whether you have three, five, or 10 minutes to spare, we’ve got you covered.
YOUR 3-MINUTE MAKEUP ROUTINE
Minimal time means a bare minimum look—but that doesn’t mean you won’t look presentable! After all, you’re living in the world of no makeup, makeup. So, just follow these four steps, and you’ll be looking fab in no time.
STEP 1: REACH FOR A PRIMER
The key to a look that lasts all day is to create a solid foundation. To do so, be sure to start your look with primer, which can help to create a smooth canvas. Try the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Lock Makeup Primer.
STEP 2: GRAB YOUR FOUNDATION
Using the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation, gradually build coverage until you reach your desired level. The radiant formula can be built to medium coverage.
STEP 3: STROBE AWAY
With not a lot of time to spare, now is the perfect opportunity to give strobing a go. With just a swipe of highlighter on your brow bone, cheekbone, the center of your nose, and cupid’s bow, you’ll be ready to slay the day.
STEP 4: APPLY YOUR MASCARA
To perk up your look in a flash, use the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Original Washable Bold Eye Mascara in Cobalt Blue. When you rock a bold makeup trend like colored mascara, no one will ever guess you got ready in a rush!
