In 5 Minutes: Master Your Morning Make-up Routine
A well-edited set of flattering everyday neutrals will bring out your personal best and get you out of the door in no time.

Step 1: Prep the eyelid by blotting on primer for longer-lasting colour.

Step 2: Streamline your makeup by using shell and chestnut brown eyeshadows, a combination that complements almost everyone's complexion, according to Sephora colour expert Lyn Lynch. Brighten the eye by applying the lighter shade all over the lid. Stay right above the lashes, and don't forget the inner corner. Keep it neat. After dipping your brush in the pot, lightly tap the brush to remove excess pigment

Step 3: Apply the darker colour in a windscreen-wiper motion right into the crease.

Step 4: Apply mascara. Wiggle the wand at the base of the lashes and then pull up. This creates a subtle intensity at the lashline so you can leave out the extra step of lining your eyes. Plus, it creates a cleaner stroke through the lashes to minimise clumping.

Step 5: Brush on blush right at the apples of your cheeks for a pretty, fresh look. Gone are the days of sweeping it up to meet the temples.

Step 6: Dab on a peachy gloss. Find an ultra-sheer formula so you can apply it without a mirror if you're in a rush.
