Don't be lazy. 10 minutes is not that long.

My sweet cupcakes, have you ever go out without anything on your face and you look dull, tired and unhealthy?  I had. But that was when i fall sick, and i must go to clinic asap. Or just did some grocery shopping at the supermarket just opposite the condo i live in.  But it's just rare to see me without any make up on.  Yes, face powder is make up too!

Now i take my sweet 10 minutes to at least make myself look more healthy before i go through the door.  10 minutes is not that long, you know? Scared you'll be late? Then set your clock or watch 10 minutes faster! Then you wont be late!

What i can do for 10 minutes:
  • My face is always toned and moisturized before i start. I always always put on Hada Labo lotion and moisturizer right after my shower.  It takes less than 1 minute. But that doesn't count in my 10 minutes regime. Don't forget your sunscreen too!
  • Put on primer.  Primer is so essential if i want my make up lasts long! It will mattify the skin and give it smooth surface.  Thus, I can apply make up easier! This will take less than 1 minute!
  • Put on foundation.  I use liquid foundation because it looks more natural and give me even coverage (when you apply it well!!).  I always use my hand instead of brushes coz it's easier and faster like that. This will take only 1 minute.
  • Concealer! I have a few dark spots and blemishes.  Because i want to look flawless, i won't skip this step! Yes, i put on concealer after foundation.  It's sooo much quicker and easier! Dab the concealer and blend it with concealer brush or finger will take another 1 minute.
  • Set with powder.  I usually use loose powder.  Puff it or brush all over my face. Less than 1 minute!
  • Fill in my eyebrow.  Starting with the arch, filling it in with eyebrow pencil.  Then, brush it with spoolie so it will look more natural.  Another 1 minute. It's not that hard to fill in because my eyebrow already shaped. 
  • Eyeliner.  Sometimes i skip this step when i don't feel like it.  I usually use L'oreal SuperLiner.  It's so easy to use and give me the blackest line! I usually just add wings at the outer corner without dragging it to the middle.  It just stay at the outer corner of my eyes.  I like it like that.  It will just add the illusion of fuller outer upper lashes.  1 minute.
  • Curl my lashes and put on mascara.  This will take 2 minutes.  I don't usually go for super-long lashes, coz my lashes already long.  I just want them to be more visible and more black and defined.
  • Blush. This is important coz i have pale-looking face! It take less than 1 minute. Really! 
  • Put on lip balm (or maybe lipstick or lip stain and gloss). I love my strawberry Body shop lip balm! It give me reddish pink tint. Less than 1 minute.
  • re-check and fix anything not right. another 1 minute or more.  
See, how easy that was, every step is 1 minute or 2 or even less than that.  Now, you don't have any excuse to skip the 10 minutes of beauty regime of your day.  I can assure you, 10 minutes won't hurt you.  What's hurt is when you feel like people are staring at your pale face like you are ill or something OR you being not confident all day and being paranoid that people are staring at your dull, ill-looking face. 

*some people are so damn lucky, they born with bright, pretty face.  I looked pale without foundation. Really! And i HATE when people stare at my bare face thinking i'm sick. Yes, I am sick. So what????
