When was the last time you got ready for the day? Was it over a week ago? Now that many of us are working from home it is tempting to slack on some of our daily self-care routines, such as doing our morning skincare and makeup.
Check out this quick 5-minute makeup look that will make you feel put together and ready to take on your WFH day!
STEP 1: Foundation
Start with a foundation that melts into skin leaving you with a radiant, flawless-looking complexion. You can decide how much coverage you prefer. I typically use only a small dot on my forehead, each check, chin, upper lip and nose.
The foundation I recommended is the Motives® Liquid Powder Mineral Foundation with SPF 15. This is a 3-in-1 foundation that provides superior, buildable coverage of a crème foundation while offering SPF and primer, with the natural-looking, sheer finish of a powder foundation. This foundation hides discolorations and covers skin with a fine, light-diffusing layer to minimize pores and imperfections for clear, satiny-smooth skin under any lighting.
I like to use the Motives® Angled Sponge Brush to apply my foundation. It’s easy to use and to clean for repeat use and less waste.
STEP 2: Eyeshadow
I LOVE my Motives® In the Nude eyeshadow palette. This palette features six incredible eye shadows, a bronzer and a lip shine- all in one convenient compact.
This beauty essential also comes with two easy-to-follow tutorials so you can achieve your favorite looks. For my 5 minute makeup routine, I use the lightest eyeshadow shade, “Cream” all over the eye lid and even a little under my eye as well.

STEP 3: Bronzer
Next I apply my Motives® Pressed Bronzer. The bronzer that is included in the Motives® In the Nude eyeshadow palette is Miami Glow. This bronzer gives a nice summer glow throughout the year and really provides the complexion with a healthy, natural look.
I like to use my Motives® Kabuki Brush to apply my bronzer to my cheek bones, temples and chin. I also like to apply the bronzer to the brow bone above my eyelids to give my eyes a little contrast and definition.
STEP 4: Eyeliner
Before I apply my eyeliner I will curl my lashes to really open up my eyes and give my lashes a curled look.
For my eyeliner I keep things simple. I use the Motives® Khol Eyeliner in Onyx and I apply it to my upper waterline only. The waterline is the line of skin between the eyelashes and the eye.
This eye liner works great for that. It provides precise definition without “dragging” or pulling the delicate eye area.
STEP 5: Mascara
I am in LOVE with my mascara! I use the Motives® Fiber Lush Mascara and it is amazing!
This fiber lush mascara is formulated with fibers that adhere to your lashes making them look longer and fuller. The brush has been designed for flawless application that resists smudging, clumping, and flaking all day.
Just like with my eyeliner, I only apply the mascara to my upper lashes. I start at the base of my eyelashes and slowly work my way up the lashes with a little back-and-forth movement. I will go back over with an extra coat or two to achieve the coverage I want.
And that’s it for my 5 minute makeup routine! If you’re looking for some more makeup ideas, check out celebrity makeup artist Jackie Gomez’s top 5 Motives® makeup must haves!
