Most women are intimidated by makeup. They don't have the time or the desire to take on a multistep routine, or they get scared by pushy makeup-counter salespeople who have their own commissions in mind, not a customer's best beauty interests. Women tell me all the time that they feel left out by beauty magazines whose focus has become celebrity beauty ideals and red carpet looks that don't relate to everyday life. In the end, many women adopt a Forgetit! attitude. They throw on mascara and lip balm and run out the door, not feeling their best. But by following the steps of my 5-minute face, you can create a complete, polished makeup look without a hassle. It's what I use every day; it's fast—and easy!
