My Everyday Makeup Routine: Simple, Glowy, and Under 10 Minutes
I used to be a full glam, products-on-products kind of girl. Drawers of makeup, drawers of skincare, and easily an hour to get ready. At the time, I thought more meant better. More coverage, more steps, more products.
The biggest shift for me didn’t actually start with makeup. It started with learning to love my skin. For years, skincare felt confusing, so I used everything. About a little over a year ago, I started getting regular facials locally, and that completely changed how I approached my skin. Working with an esthetician helped me realize I didn’t need 15 products layered on at once. I needed a few quality ones used consistently. Once my skincare routine simplified and my skin started improving, my makeup naturally followed.
Now my everyday makeup takes under 10 minutes, and I honestly don’t know how I ever lived any other way. I’m not trying to cover my skin anymore. I’m just enhancing it. The routine is simple, glowy, and effortless, and it actually feels like me. Quality over quantity has become my rule for both skincare and makeup, and it’s made getting ready easier, faster, and so much more enjoyable.
I’ve linked the five makeup products I use every single day below, along with my current daytime + nighttime skincare routine, if you want to shop exactly what I use. Simple really can be better!
