I'm in My Lazy Girl Era—This Makeup Routine Takes Less Than 10 Minutes and Always Earns Me Compliments

I've said it once, and I'll say it again: I may be a beauty editor, but I will happily sacrifice a complicated makeup routine for an extra half an hour in bed. I could have all of the best makeup brands in the world waiting for me on my dressing table, but I will always choose that extra sleep. What can I say? I'm in my lazy girl era.

Because of this, I like to think of myself as an expert when it comes to easy makeup routines that can be done in less than ten minutes. In fact, I've actually created the perfect everyday makeup routine that always earns me compliments, no matter when I wear it.

After telling my friends that this routine can be done in under ten minutes, not to mention the fact that it only involves seven products, they were all desperate to know what it involved. Below, I've broken down my easy makeup routine step by step so that anyone can recreate this look. So, what are you waiting for? Keep on scrolling to learn more...

A Beauty Editor's Easy Makeup Routine

1. Skin Tint

First up, after doing my morning skincare routine, I like to apply a skin tint. I prefer this product over a foundation as it's a lot quicker to blend into the complexion, and gives a more natural, everyday finish. Plus, I tend to use a high-coverage concealer, so I like that this product allows my actual skin texture to shine through.

Milk Makeup

Hydro Grip Gel Tint

My current go-to skin tint is this one from Milk Makeup. It blends in like a dream, provides a good amount of coverage and gives the skin the most beautiful, naturally dewy finish.

2. Concealer

Next up is concealer. As mentioned, because I use a lighter base, I like to apply a higher-coverage concealer to help disguise blemishes and under-eye circles.

Although I use a foundation brush to apply my skin tint, I find it a lot quicker to blend my concealer with my fingers. Not only is this quicker, but it also gives a more natural finish and saves me from having to carry a whole bag of makeup brushes with me when I travel.

Shop My Favourite Concealer:

Dior

Forever Skin Correct Full-Coverage Concealer

This is one of the best full-coverage concealers I have ever tried. The lightweight formula blends like a dream, the hydrating texture doesn't settle into fine lines (unless you apply too much) and it disguises dark under-eye circles in seconds.

3. Cream Bronzer

When it comes to bronzer, I tend to favour cream formulas as they are quick and easy to apply and give my skin a more radiant finish.
