My Six Clean makeup Must Haves
my five minute makeup routine

My clean five-minute makeup must-haves will help you streamline, simplify, detox your makeup drawer, and get you out the door or video conference ready in no time. 

Is your makeup drawer looking more like a junk drawer or do you just want to learn how to simplify or clean up your current routine?

I’ve got you. My clean five-minute makeup must-haves are exactly what you need.

This was where I started a little over three years ago: with a drawer and a couple of makeup bags full of toxic products. I wanted a fresh start with safer, cruelty-free products.

Since I am not a patient person, once I make a decision I go for it. I knew I wanted to get rid of all of my toxic products so I needed a way to replace them quickly.

To get a jump on my toxic makeup overhaul, I started my quest for clean beauty with a set.

I needed help choosing colors and products, so this was the perfect solution.

I said goodbye to lead, heavy metals, parabens, synthetic fragrances, formaldehyde, and more and Hello, to REAL beauty when I chose Flawless in Five: six bundled products perfect for anyone looking to simplify and/ or switch to safer products.

I have added a few items here and there and switched out powder blush to cream and add highlighters and bronzer from time to time, but I still use these clean five minute makeup must haves as the basis for my daily routine.

Checkout my tutorials here.

Tossing out countless half-used, toxin-filled products from my overflowing makeup drawer and simplifying my routine was so freeing.

It takes me less than five minutes to “apply my face” now.

Here’s how it works:

Five minute before and after!

My clean five-minute makeup must-haves include these six products:

  • foundation
  • concealer
  • blush
  • eyebrow gel or pencil
  • lip color
  • mascara

Here are the products I use in order of application:

If you are not interested in the flawless in five set I started with, each product is available individually as well. Just click on the links to read more about the products.

  • SKIN TWIN FOUNDATION I wear Light 230 and I apply it with the Better Blender for an amazingly smooth finish.
  • SKIN TWIN CREAMY CONCEALER I wear light 1.
  •  BLUSH I wear guava.
  • BROW PENCIL or Gel I use the light.
  • BEYOND GLOSS LIP GLOSS I love so many of these and am wearing Black Plum below, but I wear Bare Shimmer and Dahlia most.
  • LENGTHENING MASCARA

That’s it!

My six clean makeup must-haves get me looking flawless in less than five minutes!

    Ahhhhh Asa! Don’t know if you’d remember me, from 26th Street, New Orleans! My little girl was Bridget (47) and your Mom and I were fast friends!
    We did stuff together and you and Bridget played well together! In 1974, Chris was born and your Mom made him a beautiful quilt!
    We kept in touch for years after you moved back to Texas, then lost touch! We reconnected a few years ago 🙏🏻😘! Oh, low battery, later sweet girl!!!
    XOXOXO JILL Casey

For those of you who like a good before and after, this is our summer construction project: screened in porch and gas fire pit. 🔥

We have been outside more in the past two weeks than in the previous three years combined.

☀️The back is south facing and just too hot without the shade.

If you need me, you’ll know where to look. ☺️

Thank you, @aspen_outdoor_designs for helping us bring our vision to life. We are beyond thrilled. ❤️

I love these!

For size reference: I am 5 foot 5 (36 D) and weigh 180 pounds. I wear a large and it isn’t tight or loose. It is perfect. It is thin but not see through and great for layering!

Type TEE into the text box for a direct link to these tees.

I hope you will love them as much as I do.

This is a no fuss, barely there makeup look perfect for hot, sunny, summer days.

‼️Dual and triple purpose products are my faves. The cheek color is great for lips and lids and the tinted moisturizer is full of skincare ingredients and has spf, so it saves the need for additional skincare and a separate sunscreen. ☀️Never skip the sunscreen!

➡️Comment Cart for a direct link to the main 5 products used for this look.
➡️Comment Brows for a link to the brow powder
➡️Comment ALL for a link to everything, including my bracelets.

Need help ordering or need recommendations? Reach out. I am here for you.

I was trying to record a reel, but Tater had other plans. 😻 I let her derail me because snuggles are important, too.
