Short of being Kim Kardashian or having a make-up artist on-call, daily contouring, highlighting and painting my face "for the Gawds" 365 day/year isn't remotely practical.  Let's be honest, who has time for that?  I know I don't.  Annnnnnd I'm guessing you probably don't either.

You know what is practical?  Good skin care and a 5 Minute Make-up Look with ONLY 5(ish) Products.  I say 5(ish) products because some products I use in my 5 minute make-up look can be nixed in the interest of time (i.e. eyebrow powder).  The key to a great "No Make-up" look starts with great skin.  I've been using Instant Blur by Perricone MD as a primer under my make-up for about a week and LOVE it!  Instant Blur is lightweight, goes on smooth and minimizes the appearance of my uneven skin tone, pores, fine lines and wrinkles.  Because Instant Blur contains alpha lipoic acid, it's actually a cosmetic that will improve your skin over time.  Can I get an Amen!

P.S. I know I look a little cra-zy in the video thumbnail below.  Enjoy!  :)

My 5(ish) Products are:  Perricone MD Instant Blur, Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish Pressed Powder, Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer, Wet n' Wild Color Icon Blush, Maybelline Great Lash Mascara and Lip Gloss.
