I am not a person who can spend an hour doing my make-up. Is there a quick routine you can tell me about?

Answer:
According to make-up artist Napoleon Perdis, your daily routine can be fast and simple. Follow his “five steps in five minutes” advice.
Step 1: Skin. Start with a primer to give your foundation a longer-lasting and more even finish. Try Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Skin Primer, $45. Use concealer to even out skin tone, cover blemishes, blend under eyes and along the T-zone. Always set with a face powder for a flawless finish.
Step 2: Cheeks. Try a liquid or cream blush on cheeks and lips to add a healthy glow that lasts throughout the day.
Step 3: Eyes. By curling lashes and adding three applications of mascara, your eyes will instantly open up and have definition without needing eyeshadow.
Step 4: Lips. Nourish lips with a gloss or lip balm.
Step 5: Glow. Finally, warm the face with a touch of bronzer.
