5 Minute 5 product summer face !

Good morning my lovelies, what a gorgeous day it is here in sunny Barnsley today. I thought id show you my really quick and easy summer Mk up look that literally takes me 5 minutes and I'm out the door.

Great for a natural look and especially great when it means you can set your alarm 20 Min's later than usual.

 Products used

1: First aid Beauty Face Cream 5 in 1: This is brilliant as it moisturises without being heavy and contains factor 30 SPF so ideal for a sunny day. This gives my skin a lovely healthy glow.

2: Prestige Mineral foundation: I love to wear mineral powder in the summer rather than a liquid foundation. I find a light dusting of this one just evens out my skin tone but looks almost makeup free. It stops my skin looking too shiny and feels virtually weightless.

3: My favourite bronzer as seen in the cheapest bronzer on the block post. Honolulu by W7. A sweeping of this on my cheeks, forehead, nose and jaw makes me look sunkissed and because its nice and matte doesn't scream fake bronzer like some do.

4. Julie Hewett Cheekie in the shade peachy: I used this as a lip stain today which is great as it lasts really well and keeps my lips nice and soft. I also patted a tiny amount onto the apples of my cheeks to brighten my face a little bit.

5. Dior Mascara: A quick coat of mascara is all i used on my eyes as i wanted to keep the look fresh and simple and most of all quick.




I love to have lots of time to get ready but on days when i don't then certain products really save the day. I have not bothered with concealer, eyeliner, eyeshadow, highlighter etc.


As the weather is lovely and warm i decided to put on my simple black cotton summer dress. My tan is thanks to Beautylab on my body and st tropez on my face. I applied it a few days ago so its starting to fade a little.

Do you girls have a fail safe 5 min make up routine and what are your summer essentials ?
