Most of us want to look great but don't have enough time. This is an easy, five minute make-up look that any women can accomplish in a short amount of time. Remember, you can look better with less make-up by having your eyebrows professionally shaped and tinted, taking great care of your skin by buying the correct products for your skin type and getting facials. Whiting your teeth, applying a great smelling body spray or perfume, and using self tanner like Jergens Natural Glow or going for a spray on tan are all ways to look great fast.

Step One: Apply an oil free, sheer tinted moisturizer or light foundation with a wedge sponge or foundation brush. Make sure it matches your skin tone. (30 seconds)

Step Two: Cover up blemishes and under eye circles with a cream concealer. (30 seconds)

Step Three: Apply a blush to the apples of the cheeks with a blush brush. Choose a cream formula for dry skin, powder for normal skin types, and gel for oily. Light skin-tones are flattered by pink, beige skin looks best with peach, olive should go with rose, and dark skin should choose an orange-based blush. (30 seconds)

Step four: Take a blush or bronzer brush and and use it to apply bronzer to your forehead, jaw, chin, nose, and cheekbones. Try gold or bronze and make sure that the color you choose works on your skin tone. (30 seconds)

Step Five: Set your make-up with a loose, translucent powder and a powder brush. Apply all over especially on oily parts. (30 seconds)

Step Six: Apply a shimmery medium colored eye shadow to the lids of your eyes with a good eyeshadow brush. Try peach, brown, or gray for blue eyes; purple, copper, or lavender for green eyes; and bronze, gold, or green for brown eyes. Finish with a light shimmery color like white, vanilla, or bronze on your brow bone and on the inner corners of your eyes. (45 seconds)

Step Seven: Line your eyes top and bottom on the outside corners. Choose a Kohl pencil liner. For a natural look try brown, gray, or navy. For a more daring look try jet black, purple, or blue. Experiment with different colors! (30 seconds)

Step Eight: Use an eyelash curler on each eye for 15 seconds each. (30 seconds)

Step Nine: Coat your upper eyelashes with black or brown mascara. (30 seconds)

Step Ten: Finish with a coat of clear or nude lip gloss. (15 seconds)
