Here's Your 5-Minute Makeup Routine with Laura Mercier

Some mornings, you have all the time in the world to perfect your makeup. Others? Not so much. Whether you hit snooze one too many times or need a quick touch-up before heading out, a streamlined routine is key. The good news? You don’t need an arsenal of products or an hour in front of the mirror—just a few multitasking essentials that make you look fresh, polished, and put together in minutes. Here’s how to achieve a flawless, natural look with just seven Laura Mercier must-haves.

Step 1: The Perfect Base Product: Tinted Moisturizer Blurred Matte

Start by evening out your complexion with Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer Blurred Matte—a weightless formula that hydrates, blurs, and controls shine all day. This isn’t your average tinted moisturizer; it delivers just enough coverage to smooth imperfections while letting your skin shine through. Apply it with your fingertips for a natural, effortless finish. 

Step 2: Quickly Brighten & Conceal with Real Flawless Concealer

A good concealer can even replace foundation on busy days. But if you applied foundation, simply dab on Laura Mercier's Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Concealer under your eyes, around the nose, and on any blemishes with a damp beauty blender for instant brightness. The creamy texture blends seamlessly so no need to worry about caking or creasing, just flawless skin in seconds. 

Step 3: Set & Forget with Translucent Loose Setting Powder 

To keep everything in place (without looking overdone), dust on the iconic Translucent Loose Setting Powder, a cult favorite for a reason! It locks in your makeup, blurs pores, and keeps shine at bay while feeling completely weightless. Just pick up, hold and apply powder with the velour puff to quickly set your 5 minute makeup in place.

Step 4: Add a Sun-Kissed Flush with Bronze Color Infusion

Bronzer isn’t just for contouring, it’s your shortcut to looking healthy and radiant in no time. Sweep the Laura Mercier Bronze Color Infusion sculpt and glow shades together with the Angled Cheek Contour Brush across your cheeks, temples, and eyelids for a warm, natural bronze and highlighted glow that makes you look like you just got back from a weekend getaway. 

Step 5: Effortless Eyes in Seconds with Caviar Stick Eye Shadow 

No time for a complicated eye look? No problem. The Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Shadow glides on like butter and blends in seconds. Choose a neutral shade for a subtle wash of color or a deeper tone for instant definition. Simply swipe, blend with your finger, and you’re done!

Step 6: Lashes, But Make Them Luxe

A few coats of the Laura Mercier Caviar Extravagant Mascara take your lashes from barely-there to full, feathery, and fluttery. It delivers intense volume and lift without clumping, so your eyes instantly look more awake—even if you didn’t get your full eight hours. 

Step 7: The Final Touch, Glossy Lips

Nothing ties a look together like the perfect lip. Lip Glacé feels like a lip balm and gives you instantly fuller lips and color in just one swipe. Just swipe it on, toss it in your bag, and you’re good to go.
