Get ready in…
1 Minute
(60 seconds)
1. Moisturise
Dab a tinted moisturiser over your face and neck as your make-up base.
Time: 20 seconds
2. Voluminous Lashes
Apply mascara only to your upper lashes, using quick movements and wiggling the wand as you swathe the lashes in pigment so that they don't clump together.
Time: 20 seconds
3. Lip And Cheek Tint
Quickly apply a lip and cheek tint by dotting it over your cheeks and lips. Rub and blend and you've managed a rosy blush and shiny lips in a matter of a few seconds.
Time: 20 seconds

1. Daytime Base
Squeeze a small drop of foundation on your palm, then rub well between both hands, as you would with a moisturiser, then dab all over your face, blending smoothly as you go. The effect is that of a flawless tinted moisturiser, a subtle base that will be ideal for light daytime make-up.
Time: 30 seconds
2. Smokey Eyes
Take a coloured eye pencil crayon and draw a thick line along the upper eyelids. Smudge the outer edges slightly with your fingertips and quickly blend it over the eyelid contour.
Time: 1 minute
3. Matte Mouth
Line your lips with a soft matte lip pencil, then fill in the centre with a few soft strokes of the same lip pencil.
Time: 30 seconds

1. Defined Eyes
Quickly rub a neutral, satin shade of eye-shadow over the upper eyelids with your fingertips. Draw a thick line along the upper eyelids with a dark brown eye pencil flicking slightly at the edges. Finish off with a black kohl pencil along the lower lashline.
Time: 80 seconds
2. Contour The Cheeks
Take a bronzer stick and rub a little of the shimmery product on your fingers. Blend well in upward movements along your cheeks. Step back, check the effect and blend more if needed. That's a subtle bronzed effect in less then 60 seconds.
Time: 60 seconds
3. The Perfect Pout
Roughly outline your lips with a neutral beige lip pencil, purse lips together and dab a drop of voluminising lipgloss in the centre.
Time: 40 seconds
