Hi everyone. Today, I'm going to show you a very quick 5-minute makeup routine for those days when you haven't got a lot of time.


The makeup I’m using is from the Look Fabulous Forever range, made specifically for mature skin. However, you can achieve the same results with any brand of makeup.

Tools and materials:

  • Primer 
  • Tinted moisturizer
  • Makeup brushes
  • Blush
  • Eyeshadow
  • Brow color
  • Mascara
Applying tinted primer

1. Apply primer and tinted moisturizer

Apply primer on your face and eyes. Then use a tinted moisturizer.


This is really good if you just want a bit of light coverage but also if, like me, you've got some blemishes or sun spots that you want to cover up.


Squirt some of it on your hand, and then use a foundation brush to spread it across your face.

Applying blush

2. Apply blush

Next, apply some blush with your fingers. I’m using one in a peach shade as I am warm-toned, so the colors I'm using are for warm-toned skin.


Then, spread the blush with the brush to avoid any harsh lines or unevenness.

Applying eyeshadow

3. Apply eyeshadow

Now go in with some cappuccino-colored eyeshadow.


This is a lovely color for when you want just a little bit of definition and a subtle wash of color.


You could also choose a teal or terracotta shade, these also work very well. Put a little bit of eyeshadow on a brush.

Applying eyeshadow

Then take a chocolate brown eyeshadow and place it along your lash line.


This helps to open up your eyes and of course, adds a little bit of color and definition as well.


Put some on your bottom lash line as well from the outside in to just lift the corners slightly.

Adding color to brows

4. Add color to brows

It’s important for me now to add some definition to my brows.


I've got very few brow hairs having overplucked them in my youth! (For any younger readers - please don’t do as I did and take good care of your brows!)


I’m taking a brow color in brown and painting it on with a fine brush to give a little bit of definition to my very sparse and pale eyebrows.


Then go over it with a spoolie brush to just even the color out. This is a wonder product that I would definitely take with me on a desert island.

Applying mascara

5. Apply mascara

No makeup is ever complete without mascara so apply some mascara for the final touch to your eyes.

Applying lipstick

6. Apply lipstick

Finish up with a touch of color on the lips. I’ve gone for a coral shade that goes well with my blouse, and it's just a lovely light color.
