Another year has passed by, which means we welcome the new year by promising to take better care of ourselves, update our looks, and the likes. There’s something about this fresh start that gets the blood pumping and the excitement building, especially when it comes to trying new things we may not have had the courage or time to do – like rocking a bold red lip or dramatic winged eyeliner.

Here’s a glamorous everyday makeup look that I put-together in honor of the new year. It can be done in about 10 minutes using less than 10 products. Check it out below, then read on to learn how a created this look:

Face:

1. Start out with a face primer. This will allow your face makeup to last longer and adhere better. I like Maybelline Baby Skin because it helps smooth out any uneven texture on my face and it’s inexpensive. It’s also geared towards those who have oily skin, so I recommend trying it out if that’s your skin type.

2. In order to make this an under-10-minutes makeup look, I’ll be skipping liquid foundation. However, I don’t want to skimp on coverage so I’ll be using a medium coverage concealer. My current go-to is the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. It is pricey, but I promise you it is worth the money. An inexpensive alternative is the Maybelline FIT Me concealer, which you can get from the drugstore for around $6.

3. If you have dry skin, you can skip this step. However, I like to set my concealer, and using a powder foundation gives me the coverage I want without the need to spend a long time blending. I used the L’Oreal True Match Powder. If you have dry skin, I recommend setting your concealer with some setting powder, like Rimmel’s Stay Matte Pressed Powder.
