Today I’m sharing my latest 10 minute makeup routine. I’m not a makeup artist, so you can do what I can do. Trust me. We’ll break down 9 steps that take less than 10 minutes total to achieve your everyday style. I’ll also share some of my current skincare regimen below, as well as links to all the products I’m currently using.
This beauty routine is a little different than the ones I’ve shared in the past. For cooler, drier climates, I use a thick moisturizer. I also tone down the highlighter and aim for a more matte makeup look. I also changed the lip color to a brighter berry color. For reference, I am 40 years old and have combination skin!

The first step for me is moisturizing! Currently using this luxurious cream As autumn turns to winter. I really liked the thickness and feel of it. Let’s buy it here. From here, I would like to introduce you to my current skin care routine in detail!
Step 2: Foundation application
I tried it recently This lightweight foundation And I continue to love it. I just apply it with my fingers, but it spreads evenly and blends in very well. It has great coverage but is not too thick. The light oil formula lasts all day long. Very impressed with this product. wearing shades Atelier III.
Step 3: Contour
I’m still contouring with this routine, but compared to past tutorials, this method of contouring is a little lighter and more natural. Also, I don’t use super strong highlights, so the overall look is matte. First time using it this stick On the forehead, hollows of the cheeks, and next to the nose. Here I am using shade biscuit! The light highlight I use is this stick of nectar High on the cheeks, in the center of the forehead, and on the top of the nose. Then use your fingers to blend it all together. I love that both products come in travel sizes!
Step 4: Setting powder
Now, set everything. I Laura Mercier I discovered this product when I lived in SF and have been a fan ever since. translucent setting powder It’s amazing. Simply brush a small amount of powder all over to set the foundation and product you just applied.

Lip and mascara are my last two steps. I often switch up the order, but today I’m swiping through a few. MAC Satin Lipstick Pink Peppermint Before moving on to mascara! Again, I love that this color belongs to the berry family, but it’s a little brighter and happier than Stila ‘Baci’, which I often wear.
Step 8: Mascara
