When running late, can you slap on your makeup and go?

I cannot, and I don't know why. My skin is in good shape. I should be able to put on mascara, concealer, and lip color and go about my day.

How about you? Can you cut out steps or apply your makeup very quickly?

Now that we have the BE liquid foundation, I can skip primer and all the drying between layers and move a lot quicker. I do that on days when I'm in a hurry. I save the READY foundation for days when I have more time.

If I'm in a hurry it's foundation and brows then I'm out the door. If I had skin where I didn't need foundation I would skip that step altogether.

Absolutely. In fact, I'm not averse to wearing no makeup at all. But if I want a quickie, I use L'Oreal's lift something or other concealer that comes in a handy dispenser with a brush. I can use it on my eyelids and under my eyes and anywhere else I need to. Maybe a lip gloss.

If I have another minute or so, I might choose a powder blush that I could also sweep on my lids.

My normal makeup routine is usually pretty simple- BB cream, mascara, quick swipe of eyeshadow or just a tinted/brightening eye primer and lipgloss. So yes, for the most part, it is quick. When I have more time or am feeling more creative, it will be more labor intensive and include eyeliner, more creative eyeshadow application using a few different colors for brow and lid and crease and perhaps a tad of blush. I don't like to spend alot of time on my skincare or makeup, I just don't have the patience, lol.

Actually, yes. I learned from Adrienne a long time ago, not to be afraid of it. I used to be so pokey when putting on makeup. People laugh at her sometimes incomplete makeovers, but it really doesn't take very long to put on makeup, and do it well. I just needed more confidence to not be so "afraid" of it, and just DO IT. I'm talking about cleansing, toner, moisturizer, foundation, blush, eye shadow, brows, mascara, and lip color. Sometimes I also use powder.

Yep. As long as I have a tube of mascara I won't frighten small children.

I enjoy doing full face (but not over the top) makeup. But sometimes I'm just not feeling it -- like today. Today I threw on a BB cream, blush, concealer under eye and on lid, mascara and lip gloss. Probably didn't look much different than when I spend 20 minutes doing it. Lol!!

I can do it pretty quickly when I have to. When there is little time, I will slap concealer on the most important spots, dab on some brown eyeshadow, swipe on my favorite nude/pink lipstick, and I am out the door. Takes no time at all.

Mind you, I like having more makeup on than that, but I can get by with the above and not feel too bad.

It doesn't take me a long time to put on make-up anyway. I use moisturizer, foundation, eyeliner, mascara, eyebrow powder and lipstick. It takes me about five minutes or so.

I can get by with some lipstick and blusher/bronzer and be out the door. Generally, if I'm going to the gym ... just a bit of bronzer and I'm out the door.

If I'm going "out" - I prefer a finished look.

Yes. I can get it together pretty quickly, if needed.

But I can do full face in 5 minutes

I have more luck doing this with Laura Geller's products: Spackle, B&B, Blush, eye rimz. brows, mascara, lips - then out the door!

Yes. My make up routine is like 2 min every day. Foundation, mascara. Occasionally Josie color. At least 5 days a week make up takes less than 3 min. I don't really do any complicated eyes though. My friend has perfect make up all the time and is always late...drives me insane. I don't think she could get dressed, hair brushed and make up in less than 30 min not including a shower! And 30 min would be fast!!! I just don't value the look to spend that kind of time.

I agree - I have learned much from Adrienne & Dimitri. I still frequently use SCA 8-wonder concealer thingie with anchor woman-blue, etc. I can spend 30-minutes or 5. I like the BM serum foundation, SKINN blush, eyeshadow, Benefit Mascara & lip color, those are kind of my staples.

I am fortunate to have nice skin and can go without MU if I had to.

TY — Sun, 22 Feb 2015 05:13:51 GMT

Yes, but I keep makeup in my car so if I'm in a hurry I can apply some of it in the car when I get to where I'm going or if I'm at a very long red light!

I didn't think so until last week when I woke up over an hour later than my usual time on a workday! I had my makeup on in record time and wasn't even late to work. I admit, though, that I normally wake up very, very early because I don't like to rush or be stressed in the morning. Nice to know I can book when I have to. For me, it's a matter of staying focused and not getting distracted by not really unnecessary things I sometimes decide to take care of before I leave the house.
