5-minute makeup for brunch

Even makeup connoisseurs can find certain looks quite challenging. Figuring out how to pull off a daytime look that's quick and easy but still looks polished and pretty can be a big ask. An occasion such as a brunch requires just the right amount of makeup: not too much, but not too little, either.
Finding your perfect brunch look can make getting ready far less stressful. And this look requires minimal time, meaning you can spend more time enjoying a mimosa (or three) and less worrying about your makeup.

Instructions
1. Use a fluffy face brush to apply a hydrating primer all over your skin.
2. Apply a medium-coverage foundation using a flat foundation brush.
3. Use a high-coverage concealer to highlight underneath the eyes, down the bridge of the nose, and the middle of the chin. Blend with a fluffy brush.
4. Set your base using pressed powder and a fluffy brush.
5. Use a matte face highlight shade to set your undereye concealer and add even more brightness.
6. Use a powder contour shade on a fluffy brush to sculpt cheekbones, forehead, and jawline.
7. Add more dimension using a bronzer.
8. Highlight the cheekbones, tip of the nose, and the chin using a shimmery golden powder highlighter.
9. Fill in brows using a pomade on an angled brush. Blend with a spoolie.
10. With a fluffy brush, apply a matte muted orange eyeshadow to the crease. We used Morgan from the Natasha Denona Sunrise Palette.
11. On a smaller brush, apply a brighter orange shade on the eyelid to intensify the color. We used Jasper from the same palette.
12. Mix metallic yellow and shimmery champagne shades to highlight the inner corner. We used Citrine and Agate from the same palette.
13. Use a pencil brush to smoke out the lower lashline with a metallic ruby shade. We used Phlox.
14. Apply black mascara to your top and bottom lashes.
15. Apply a nude matte liquid lipstick to the lips.
16. Use a pinkish-nude lip gloss to highlight the lips and make them appear fuller.
17. Spray a hydrating facial mist over your makeup to ensure you look natural and dewy throughout the day.
