Hey, teens! My name is Martina and my goal is to make you feel amazing and fresh in just five minutes. That’s why I’ve put together this makeup tutorial that can save the day when you oversleep or just want to stay snuggled up in bed a little longer. That way you can always look your best at school!

The rush of trying to get ready for school in the morning can be a real drag. Especially if you want to look good but have limited time to do your makeup. I have good news for you! Together we can get it done in five minutes. The timer is my witness!

Follow along for this speedy look:

1. Skincare is essential and I love the Garnier Skin Naturals Vitamin C. It hydrates, brightens and contains SPF 25.

2. Then go ahead and apply the L’Oréal Paris Lumi Glotion. It gives your skin a nice glow and is easy to apply. You can even use your hands to apply it to your collarbones for extra radiance.

3. No one has time for contouring in the morning, and I love blusher the most anyway. For everything. That’s why I use it on my eyes as well as my face. And when you combine the Maybelline SuperStay Ink Crayon with the Maybelline Master Strobing highlighter, miracles start to happen.

4. Brighten the under-eye area and the centre of your face with the Maybelline SuperStay Active Wear concealer. My mantra is: cover and brighten!

5. The NYX Professional Makeup The Brow Glue has my heart. It really does have the same effect as glue, like lamination without getting the real thing.

6. Mascara is a must, of course, and my favourite happens to be the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Cosmic Black. Apply it using zigzag and upward strokes to add volume and elongate your lashes.

7. Outline the lips with a lip liner, but don’t forget the inner corners! It doesn’t look any good without them. Then give your lips some additional shine with theNYX Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip.

8. The last thing you want is to smell bad at school, so reach for the refreshing Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '59 fragrance and leave your worries behind for the rest of the day!
