No Time for Makeup? You Only Need 5 Minutes, I'll Show You..

No Time for Makeup?

For 9 years I owned a salon and spa in Douglasville, Georgia. At one point, I had 15 employees- 6 hairstylists, 3 massage therapists, 2 estheticians, 3 front desk coordinators, and 1 assistant.

One of my goals was to make sure that we projected a professional image to our clients. Part of that professional image was for each of our technicians to appear polished and put together… We had a dress code, and it was requested that if they wore makeup as a normal routine, that they should come to work with makeup on ready to start their day. As busy women, I often heard- I don’t have time, to which I would reply… You only need 5 minutes. If someone came to work without their makeup on - I would request that they please go put on their 5-minute face. If they didn’t know what that was, I would suggest that they apply a little concealer, blush, mascara, and lip gloss. After a while, I didn’t even have to say it…They were all wearing their 5-minute face!

You see some of us believe that putting on makeup is a time-consuming chore. But I disagree. You only need a few easy-to-use products to look polished. Once you find those go-to products that work for you then you won’t dread putting on your makeup, and you will be able to be out the door in a flash.

For me, my necessities are a light foundation with SPF, mascara, blush, concealer under my eyes (I have dark circles) and lipstick. For you, it may be sunscreen, brow pencil, lip gloss, and mascara. The point is- it should be easy, quick and address any personal problem areas. Your go-to products are not necessarily the same as someone else’s go-to products.
