Simple neutral shades let you put together a quick look that is natural, minimalistic, and easily blended.<\/p>  \n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Netural-Eyeshadow.jpg\" alt=\"Makeup Blog Learning Makeup for Last Minute Events- Netural Eyeshadow\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Netural-Eyeshadow.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Netural-Eyeshadow-300x165.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2Concealer_and_Foundation\"><\/span>2.\tConcealer and Foundation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Blending is key when you\u2019re in a hurry. Use foundation and concealer to even your skin tone and cover blemishes.<\/p>\n \n<p>Opt for a well matched, light coverage foundation rather than the thicker cream foundation that you might use at an HD photo shoot. Use concealer to cover only the imperfections that absolutely need it. A very thick base with otherwise natural features won\u2019t look as effortless as you\u2019re hoping, and you won\u2019t have time to start over again!<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3Blush_and_highlight\"><\/span>3.\tBlush and highlight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Giving your cheeks some color transforms your whole face. Blush and highlight will brighten your features and give you a fresh glow that is quick and easy to achieve. Just remember to apply these products lightly! <\/p>\n\n<p>Choose a warm, natural blush that suits your skin tone without standing out too brightly against your other neutral shades. Start at the apples of your cheeks and blend lightly upward toward your temples. Next, dust a light, slightly shimmered highlight onto the ridge of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and the Cupid\u2019s bow of your top lip. Highlight helps the blush brighten your features. <\/p>\n\n<p>Be careful with shimmered products, especially when you\u2019re using them in a hurry! Too much shimmered highlight can make you look shiny instead of glowing. <\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Applying-blush.jpg\" alt=\"Makeup Blog Learning Makeup for Last Minute Events- Applying blush\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Applying-blush.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Applying-blush-300x154.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4Use_matte_shadows\"><\/span>4.\tUse matte shadows<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Matte eye shadows are easier to color coordinate and blend quickly. Matte fallout is also less noticeable than the sparkles that fall from brightly colored shimmer shadows. <\/p>\n\n<p>When it comes to color, the more natural the shades are, the more versatile your look will be. You\u2019ll fit in at calm daytime events but you\u2019ll also look subtly glamorous later on at a party. Neutral matte shadows also blend more seamlessly, which is useful when you\u2019re in a hurry and might not be paying your most careful attention.<\/p>  \n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Matte-Eyeshadow.jpg\" alt=\"Makeup Blog Learning Makeup for Last Minute Events- Matte Eyeshadow\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Matte-Eyeshadow.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Matte-Eyeshadow-300x161.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5Skip_the_wings\"><\/span>5.\tSkip the wings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Winged liner is a classically glamorous look, but getting the wings perfectly pointed and even on each side takes time and concentration. With your friends waiting, you don\u2019t have time to agonize over the length and width of your wings. <\/p>\n\n<p>Instead, opt for a black or brown pencil liner and softly trace your top lash line from corner to corner. On the bottom, use the same liner to trace the edge of your lash line from the outer corner, stopping half way between the corner and the center of your pupil.<\/p> \n\n<p>Blend the liner lightly with a soft brush so your eyes aren\u2019t ringed by dark, harsh lines. If you don\u2019t have a pencil liner, use an angled liner brush and black or brown powdered shadow. <\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6Keep_Mascara_light\"><\/span>6.\tKeep Mascara light<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Mascara gives your eyes depth.  A few light strokes that separate your lashes will define your eyes so the look doesn\u2019t appear unfinished with no mascara. Try not to slap on too much because you\u2019re working quickly, or your lashes will appear clumped and stiff. <\/p>\n\n<p>Keep it light and consistent with your natural look.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Mascara.jpg\" alt=\"Makeup Blog Learning Makeup for Last Minute Events- Mascara\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Mascara.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Mascara-300x145.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7Give_your_brows_some_love\"><\/span>7.\tGive your brows some love<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Paying attention to your brows before you go takes your light look to the next level. You won\u2019t have time to alter their shape or redefine their edges, but using an angled brush and a powder that compliments their natural color and filling them lightly gives definition. <\/p>\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t feel like you have enough time to fill your brows the way you like, give them a simple comb so they sit neatly. <\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8Dont_skip_your_lips\"><\/span>8.\tDon\u2019t skip your lips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Giving your lips some color will pull your entire look together! Doing your eyes and cheeks but skipping your lips will appear unfinished rather than natural and minimal. <\/p>\n\n<p>Skip the sparkle glosses and try a natural pink matte lipstick that suits your skin tone. If you do want gloss, choose a clear gloss or a tinted one that matches the lipstick shade. Apply a light layer that adds shine without looking wet. <\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Matte-Lipstick.jpg\" alt=\"Makeup Blog Learning Makeup for Last Minute Events- Matte Lipstick\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Matte-Lipstick.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Makeup-Blog-Learning-Makeup-for-Last-Minute-Events-Matte-Lipstick-300x137.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Think_natural\"><\/span>Think natural! <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>You only have five minutes!
