3-Minute Makeup Routine for 8AM Girls

Because no one has time to spend 30 minutes blending foundation before class

If you're the kind of girl who hits snooze five times and still wants to look alive for your 8AM, this post is for you. We’ve all been there—zero time, puffy face, and maybe even a little regret from binge-watching dramas the night before. But with just three products (yes, THREE), you can pull together a natural, glowy look in literally three minutes. Let’s go.

Step 1: BB Cream That Does It All

RENODERM Day Long BB Cream Foundation – SPF 50

This stuff is honestly a lifesaver. It’s light, blends super fast with your fingers, and somehow makes your skin look like your skin, but healthier. Plus, it has SPF 50, so that’s sunscreen ticked off too (because we’re definitely not layering products at 7:57AM).

Perfect for:

• Sensitive skin or if you break out easily

• When you want coverage but hate the feeling of foundation

• Lazy mornings. Which, let’s face it, is every morning

How I use it:
One pump, warm it up in my hands, slap it on like moisturizer. Done.

Step 2: Lips & Cheeks with One Product

INTO YOU Shero Super Matte Lip and Cheek Mud

I’m obsessed. It’s soft, blends in seconds, and actually stays on. Just tap a bit on your cheeks for that “I woke up like this” flush, then dab the same color on your lips to pull it all together. You’ll look way more awake than you feel.

Perfect for:

• Monochrome no-effort makeup

• When your face looks... dead

• Fast touch-ups between classes

How I use it:
Dot on cheeks, tap with fingers. Then swipe it on lips and smudge with a finger for a blurred look. Cute, fast, done.

Step 3: Quick Contour That Makes a Difference

JUDYDOLL Contour & Highlight Palette

Okay, you could technically skip this step, but if you’ve got an extra 30 seconds—use them. A little contour under the cheekbones and some highlight on your nose and cheeks? Chef’s kiss. Makes you look 100x more put together with zero extra effort.

Perfect for:

• Adding a bit of shape to your face after BB cream

• Highlighting without looking glittery

• When you need to look more awake than you are

How I use it:
Fluffy brush, quick sweep under cheekbones, little bit on the jawline. Then highlight on nose bridge and cheekbones. That’s it.

Final Thoughts:

You don’t need a full face to feel ready for the day. These three products are quick, foolproof, and actually make a difference. Whether you’re heading to uni, work, or just trying to not look like a zombie at brunch, this combo has your back.

Got 3 minutes? That’s all you need.
