The Beauty Routine of a Working Girl

beauty-routine-working-girl

Being a Working Girl myself I know that having a polished makeup look is essential. When you meet clients or new partners, you want to look at your best, and I try everything to hide my dark circles and give a little bit of color to my face.

Like every CEO, I don’t have so much time to spend on my daily makeup routine.

That’s why I want to get the best look in (under) 5 minutes.

I want to get a natural fresh makeup look that makes me feel like I slept for 10 hours and didn’t stay staring at my screen all day.

When I think all the things I have to go through the day, it’s impossible for me to spend 20 minutes doing my daily beauty routine, even though I’m a beauty addicted.

When I was just a student or while I was an employer I spent so much time doing my makeup and playing with beauty products.

Now that I have my own company, I prefer quality over quantity and from 50 steps I’ve reduced only to 10 essentials + 2 masks each week while working.

These are my easy steps to get ready in few minutes each morning:

I use my face cleanser in the shower, so I save time.
Just out of the shower, I apply my moisturizing cream and leave it to absorb while I get dressed
30- sec I don’t like to apply the foundation with my fingers because otherwise, I have to wash again my hands which means losing precious seconds, that’s why I use a brush for everything. I also think a brush helps me to blend every product faster and better. I have this Zoeva set which is awesome, and there are all the brushes you’ll ever need in your life to create any look. Their brushes are super soft and professional (not sponsored). I’m currently using the MAC Studio Fix foundation because my skin is not so great these days and I need a bit more coverage
20 sec- I apply the concealer under my eyes to cover my dark circles, any signs of fatigue and illuminates that zone which according to me, it’s the one that can change your entire face, making you look soon awake and a new happy person.
30 sec – I do my eyebrows with this pencil. I fill them a little bit
60 sec – I apply my mascara carefully because since I don’t use any other products on my eyes, I think applying well only your mascara can make the difference
30 sec – Contouring. I use my bronzer to sculpt cheekbones and my nose and to give a little bit of color to my face
30 sec- Blush. I’m currently obsessed with blushes, and I think it’s as effective as the mascara because it can make the difference in your look. I like to do a mix of all the colors of this palette. I also love it because you can modulate your color according to your mood.

Beauty Products on my desk:

I have 3 beauty products on my desk that I often apply during the day:

Hand cream, because I read that hands get older faster than every other part of your skin
Lip Balm to keep my lips soft
Thermal Spring Water. It’s good for your skin when you stay inside all day and also, fresh water on your face wakes you up immediately
