Everyone wants to look their best. Whether you’re going on a date, meeting friends for happy hour, or attending a fancy event, there are times when you want to look your very best. However, there aren’t enough hours in the day to get ready. Even if you schedule an entire day to get ready, it’s not always enough time.
After factoring in hair and makeup appointments as well as getting dressed and putting on accessories such as necklaces and earrings, most people only have about five minutes to get the red carpet ready. Red carpet ready doesn’t have to be a pipe dream; with the right tips and tricks, you can achieve that perfect look in no time at all!
Make your beauty kit
The first step to red carpet ready is to create your beauty kit. Customizing your kit is essential if you want to look your best in five minutes. Having the right tools is the first step to flawless makeup. If you’re pressed for time, it’s not worth it to use your expensive makeup brush kit. Instead, use disposable makeup sponges to save time. Having the right tools will allow you to achieve the best look possible. Check out the different makeup sponge brands and types to find the one that best matches your skin. Make sure to have the following items in your beauty kit:
– Disposable sponges – Make sure to have a light and a dark shade of each color if you’re doing makeup for both your eyes and your face.
– Brushes – Make sure to have multiple sizes of each brush.
– Makeup remover wipes – Make sure to have both oil and water-based remover wipes. These are especially important if you’re wearing fake eyelashes.
– Mascara – Select a waterproof mascara so that you don’t have to worry about your makeup smudging.
– Lip balm – You don’t want your lips to look cracked in pictures!
– Lip color – Select a color that complements your skin tone.
Dry brushing
During the warm months, your skin may be a bit more oily, which means you may want to cleanse your skin with a dry brushing technique. This will help exfoliate your skin, remove dry skin, and reduce your oil production. Doing this once a week will keep your pores clean and reduce your skin’s oil production. This also has the added benefit of helping you to relax before getting ready.
Foundation tip
Foundation is a great way to even out your skin tone and cover up flaws such as blemishes, sun spots, and blotchy skin. However, you don’t want to put too much foundation on it. To ensure you don’t look like you’ve caked it on, spray your foundation brush with water before applying. This will help to thin out your foundation and make it easier to apply while still covering your flaws.
For a seamless look, blend your foundation with a beauty blender. This will help to blend away any edges and create a flawless look. Make sure you don’t apply too much foundation, especially around your eyes and eyelids. This is a common mistake that can make you look like you’ve applied too much makeup.
Eyeshadow tip
Eyeshadow is one of the most important makeup products you can use when getting ready. A pop of color on your lids will make your eyes pop, which is exactly what you want. The key is to apply the eyeshadow in layers. Start by applying a light-colored eyeshadow to your eyelids. Then, add a slightly darker color on top of that. Next, apply a darker color on top of that.
Finally, apply a maximum pop of color on top of that. This will create a bold look that will make your eyes stand out. When applying eyeshadow, don’t forget to apply it to your lower lash line. This will make your eyes look bigger, which is exactly what you want when getting ready.
Mascara and eyeliner tip
Mascara and eyeliner are two products that you can use to make your eyes look bigger and more dramatic. These products are also great for people with short eyelashes. To apply your mascara, make sure to make a “C” shape with the brush. This will help to lift your lashes and open up your eyes. To apply your eyeliner, make sure to apply it to your top and bottom lash line.
This will help to create a bold look while making your eyes look bigger. If you want to attempt a dramatic look, apply your mascara and eyeliner with a makeup comb. This will help to create a dramatic look while ensuring that you don’t put too much product on.
Conclusion
Looking your best doesn’t have to be a struggle. By following these easy tips, you can achieve a red carpet-ready look in 5 minutes. Remember to make your beauty kit and stock it with the essentials. Dry brush your skin to exfoliate and cleanse your pores. Apply your foundation with a water-sprayed brush. Create a bold eyeshadow look with layers of color on your eyelids.
