Running out of time and you want to look your best?  Here’s what I learned from my makeup teacher on looking your best with just the basics and ten minutes.  When we had this class, my teacher did it to herself and I tried it on my face.  The verdict:  She did it in 8 minutes while I did it in 20 minutes.  No miracles specially when you’re just starting but as you practice, you’ll get the hang of it and can make it in less than ten minutes. 

Make sure you’ve cleaned and moisturized your face before you do the following steps in putting on makeup in ten minutes:

• Corrective Concealer: this type of concealer hides your red spots, dark spots and under eye circle.  For myself, I use Makeup Forever’s professional concealing palette #5.  The lime green color hides my red spots, purple hides my dark spots and tangerine hides my under eye circles.  Since I’m in a hurry, I just use my finger to put it on my face.
• Skin tone Concealer:  using the same concealing palette, I mix the light shade and the dark shade to get a medium shade and put it on top of the tangerine, at the center of my nose from forehead to the tip, form a circle on my forehead and the sides of my lips.
