As mentioned in my last post Carmindy’s 5minute face is essentially my go to daily look. When I stepped back & thought about that statement I decided it would be interesting to challenge myself to actually do a 5minute face for 5days.

I decided I would change things up each day using a different highlight, shadowliner (eyeshadow as eyeliner), & lippie. The base, blush, & mascara remained the same.

• Elf Mineral Infused Primer
• WetnWild Photofocus Foundation Rose Ivory
• Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Mood Exposure
• Tarte Amazonian Clay Mascara

Day 1

• Highlight: Farsáli Rose Gold Elixir
• Shadowliner: Sunbleach Filter Selfie
• Lippie: Merle Norman Chubby Lip Crayon Candy Stick

Day 2

• Highlight: Benefit Girl Meets Pearl
• Shadowliner: Sunbleach Filter Sandy Toes
• Lippie: Sweet & Shimmer Lip Crayon

Day 3

• Highlight: Anastasia Moonchild Lucky Clover & Blue Moon
• Shadowliner: Pantone Watercolor Chinois Green
• Lippie: Clinique Black Honey

Day 4

• Highlight: Anastasia Moonchild Pink Hart
• Shadowliner: Pantone Watercolor Pale Mauve
• Lippie: Bite Rhubard

Day 5

• Highlight: Anastasia Moonchild Purple Horseshoe
• Shadowliner: Rock Nudes Eggplant
• Lippie: Laura Mercier Devotion

Favorite Day:

This is a toss up between Day 1 & 2. The elixir & liquid highlight worked best for quick application & big payoff.

Lessons:

Powder highlight needs a little extra work to get right. See Day 4, not bad, but not enough bang for buck.

I feel best when I warm up my face, not cool it down. A pinch of bronzer would go a long way with Days 3 & 5.

The natural light that pours in through our front screen door gives me the best face. If I could just stay in that light all day!

Sometimes I need brows more than liner.

Carmindizing is truly a great daily look, but also the perfext starting place for building a full face makeup look. I mean, who doesn’t want to look like this everyday!?
