You Get 60 Seconds for Makeup: What Do You Do?

October 13th, 2022 by Karen 19 Comments

Mascara, please!

Do you swipe on blush? Brush up your brows? I’m curious to hear what you would do if you were totally pressed for time.

I used to know a girl when I was doing theater who’s “quick and dirty” version of 60-second makeup was black liner on her water lines and loads of mascara. Another friend of mine did a swipe of red lipstick — and that was it! (She looked fantastic in it, by the way.)

For me, it’s my lash curler and mascara, and the mascara has BRING IT. I’m talking length, volume, curl, everything. Gimme all the drama, please.

If there’s any extra time in that minute, then I’ll either 1) run a clear brow gel through my brows, or 2) blend cream blush onto my cheeks.

How about you? If you had only 60 seconds to do your makeup, what would you do?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Hi There! For me it is fill in brows, color correct under eyes, then dab some strobe cream on my upper cheeks and pat mac grath lip balm in a pink tone. Mascara would be great but longer than a minute. Brows are first for me, habe more impact than mascara (wearing glasses with blue frame)
    have a nice day!!!

    Blush and lip balm. If there’s time, I use mascara and a little concealer.

    Lipstick/Gloss and sunglasses. If I cannot wear sunglasses for whatever reason, it is all about the eyes! Liner/Mascara swipe/Concealer. Is my time up now? lol

    Blurring skin tint and a tinted lip balm. If there’s time leftover a blush.

    I’m embarrassed to say it, but it takes me much longer than 60 seconds to put on my mascara. That is if I’m not gonna poke myself in the eye, get it all over my lids and make it look fluttery instead of clumpy.

    I have to do a coat of mascara (being redhead, my eyelashes are invisible), a dollop of tinted sunscreen and a dab of Ilia multi-color stick on eyes, cheeks and lips. I can do that in a minute.

    Quick swipe of mascara to make the lashes visible, a touch of lipgloss and a dab and swirl or two of light blush on the apples. Done.

    Mascara and some concealer under my eyes, around the nose and on the chin against redness.
    Blush would be next, but I don’t think the minute would be long enough then.

    Three things: powder bronzer, eyeliner and lipstick. Boom, done in 60 seconds. The concealer and contour and brows/lids can wait. I feel totally confident with my basic three.

    Some sort of foundation to cover up the redness from my rosacea, but that can be a super fast smear. Then brows (pencil if I’m in a hurry). Lashes curled— they look decent natural if I just curl them. Tinted balm. But I’d still add the mascara if I could squeeze it in!

    I’ve never tried this, but I have an idea of what I would do: foundation, lipstick, and maybe a swipe of shimmery eyeshadow if I have any time left over.

    Undereye Corrector and lipstick – for my lips and as cream blush. If I get a few extra seconds: rim my eyes with a kohl liner pencil…

    Blush and a tiny bit of soft eyeliner! I think that helps me look more awake and fresh!
