Sephora Six - Fast & Furious Edition

[danielledanielle]

So, I've been challenging myself to do a full-ish face in about six minutes.  Have not succeeded yet ‌😭‌‌😅‌, so I'm looking to BIC for some tips to get past the finish line.

I want to know six products, any category, you use to get that quick glam.  Bonus if it includes skincare.  Double bonus if you've timed yourself and it's less than 7 minutes (if you include skincare, 10-15 min).

Aww, thanks, I’ve had to perfect a quick look since I’m always late, lol. @JoSometimes 

[CynthieLu]

@danielledanielle I can’t believe this thread exists! I need to remember to attempt this next week. Also, I’m sure it’s completely coincidental that I willingly watched F9 and FX this week. 🤪

I would say go for high impact products that are pigmented and easy to apply. I feel like if I see a result immediately, I’m less likely to fuss around with it more and waste time. 

And fingers for application! Cut out reaching for a brush or sponge to save even more time. 

[CynthieLu]

Ooh I'm excited too hear about your adventures with this next week @JoSometimes 😀

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu I can sometimes get the beauty part of my morning routine done in about 20 minutes if I try. Getting it down to 15 (skincare + makeup) would be amazing! This would be a boy-mode challenge only though. Girl-mode makeup takes me minimum 30 minutes if I need to. 

[CynthieLu]

I can't add skincare to the equation either @JoSometimes Everything for my dry skin needs time to soak in. 😉 I tweaked the challenge a bit to fit me. I'm not counting in skin prep, only the time it takes too put on anything make-up related. My skin wouldn't like me very much if I didn't listen and give it what it needs. 

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu We were certainly “blessed” by the skincare gods. 🙃

[danielledanielle]

@JoSometimes, heh, it was kismet!  High impact, eh?  Looks like you're truly going to embody the thread and movies!  I look forward to seeing your contribution 🏎️

[JoSometimes]

@danielledanielle “High impact” is a work term. I can’t turn it off. 😅

And F8 was last night’s late night movie of choice. I’m working my way backwards it seems. 😊

Here are a few tips I just thought of 🫶

Tips

-Have all products lined up in order to be ready to go.

-If the product doesn’t need to be closed right away then leave it open (this takes me a ton of time I usually have my makeup stored in a closet next to my bathroom so for some reason I walk back and put it away after each product)

-Maybe have a song you love playing in the background so you know when the song is over that you have to be at a certain point in routine and if not readjust.

-One Minute Per Product 

-see what factors contributed to it being faster on one day vs another 

I’ll let you know if I think of more 

[danielledanielle]

@peculiarzmakeup, good tips!  Your first tip is very important.  I can vouch for losing time in the morning looking for something to not find it and then additional time looking for a substitute. Another similar tip, I 

try to refill skincare at night, so if I notice the one I'm using is starting to run low, even if it takes a few more days before it's finished, it's there already. That way I don't have to use time digging it out. Also helps me see if I'm running low on something.

[peculiarzmakeup]

Restocking and having things organized is so important I agree @danielledanielle 💕

[CynthieLu]

Thank you for all these tips @peculiarzmakeup especially using music, that's such a great idea! 

I can see these saving me a bit of time, especially organizing everything before hand and ready to go. 😄

[peculiarzmakeup]

Your welcome! @CynthieLu  I think when things are on the go it’s like thinking 10 steps ahead, where’s my bag, where’s my keys, did I forget this. I think also something important is to slow down, in some ways atleast for me if I slow down, I am able to complete it faster 💕 this is so cool such a fun thing to think about and try, I love seeing what works for everyone 😊

[Mellmars1185]

@peculiarzmakeup Great tips! I think the order in which you apply them helps. For example I like to start with cream blush for underpainting. Second I go in with Foundation. Third like to place down my concealer so I can blend it first on the eyelids so I can start my eyeshadow application. At the same time I am letting the rest of my concealer self set a bit under my eyes. 

[danielledanielle]

I think we were all on a vibe this morning @peculiarzmakeup & @Mellmars1185 , because I took, thought of Habit Stacking Thread 📚 while taking in the challenge this morning!

It took me nine minutes 😮, which didn't include skincare because I did it separately this morning.  (Courtesy of the challenge interruptor, DanDan.)  I think the time discrepancy was departure from my norm; I wasn't doing my usual weaving in and out when skincare and makeup.  I realize I habit stack this way, and even yesterday I was able to squeeze in body care a bit while waiting for my moisturizer to dry down.  Layering specific steps with others really makes a difference for me.

[Mellmars1185]

@danielledanielle Ohhh yes! This makes me so happy to hear! You can  get the self care in even with the challenge interupptor! Habit stacking can be the ultimate life hack!!

[peculiarzmakeup]

Some of these tips remind me of your habit stacking thread I’m not sure how to tag threads but that is a great way to think about it love that ❤️ @Mellmars1185 

[Mellmars1185]

@peculiarzmakeup Thanks ! Yes you are right! To tag a thread, you put an @ symbol infront of the thread name. It is similar to tagging a person, but scroll down past the 'user' names and you will see thread names Habit Stacking Thread 📚. It shows up under 'content'.  

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thank you so much! 😊 @Mellmars1185
