Answer:
For me, Speed comes from Practice! I've been applying makeup everyday for years, so it is a practice thing.
Mine takes 30mins, or 20 mins.

Answer:
i prefer having 30 minutes to do it, but when sleep wins in the morning, this is my 5 minute routine -
- mineral foundation
- ysl touche eclat
- setting powder
- mac pinch o peach blush
- kevyn aucoin eyeliner
- shu uemura lash repair
- dior #261 gloss
- set the whole thing with evian spray
... and ysl faux cils applied hastily in the bathrooms at work

Answer:
My routine seems to have grown longer instead of shorter as I acquire more and more products and age disgracefully. LOL.
1. Cleanse face with either the Happyderm foaming cleaner or Neutrogrena mask/cleanser.
2. Moisturise with either the Happyderm moisturiser or Garnier cream (the green tub one), have breakfast while I wait for it to sink in
3. Put face suncream on my nose, cheeks and hairline around forehead (not on hair, must be careful with that)
4. Apply mascara (Maybelline), the one with the white end and the black end (I never seem to use the white end though...which is a bit silly, but oh well. LOL)
5. Curl lashes with my new ModelCo heated curler (which I am yet to be completely satisfied with, but I've only had it a week tomorow)
6. Apply liquid eyeliner (Innoxa pen) to top eyelids
7. Apply black pencil eyeliner to inner bottom eyelids (Face of Australia)
8. Put on foundation (Rimmel, the one that stays matte all day...and it sort of does...unless I get really hot, then it looks a bit dewy, but still not bad)
9. Put on a teeny dab of pressed powder (also Rimmel...is loose powder a HEAP better, I wonder? Maybe I should change)
10. Put on Bonne Bell lip balm (blue one), then usually 2 lip glosses/sticks, to get a nice mix
11. Apply brown eyebrow pencil (no idea what brand, it's so old the writing is long worn away)
12. Puff some of that blush stuff on my cheeks...can't recall the brand...the one where you sort of take the lid off, there's a built-in powder puff there and there's a compartment underneath with blush or bronze particles in there, and you just push it on your face. Basically you can either wipe it or hit yourself in the face with it and it works. I like it. LOL.
13. Apply first some brown (just powder) eyeshadow and then a teeny dab of blue over the top and then blend with an old powder puff...I have to do the blue because I can never find a brown shadow that is not too reddish...I need a more grey based one to make my eyes more blue and less green. So I put blue over the brown and it makes it a bit more grey-based. I also put a thin soft line of just brown under the lower eyeliner line of the eyelid
I think that's it...LOL. It takes me about 30 mins.

Answer:
My routine takes some time. I can never leave the house with just a slick of mascara and gloss because I just feel too insecure to do so.
My routine
1. Cleanse with MD Formulations Glycolic Cleanser
2. I then apply MD Formulations Vit A Clearing Complex followed by YSL Hydra moisturiser
3. Before I apply my makeup I apply Napoleon Auto Pilot Primer
4. For foundation I use either Stephane Marais Fluid Foundation or MAC Studio fix applied with a sponge.
5. I then apply a cream blush with a brush which I find works better than being applied with fingers
6. Eyeshadow is a big part of my makeup routine. I don't feel done without eyeshadow and try to emphasise the green in my eyes so I usually wear purples or coppers. My eyeshadow is usually MAC or Stila
7. For lips I always apply a gloss but sometimes I might wear a lipstick underneath for a more intense look. Even if I just wear gloss I usually end up layering different glosses for a slightly different look. My favourite glosses include Armani, Stila, YSL Golden gloss and MAC.
8. My brows are quite sparse in areas so I always fill them in with either a pencil or an eyeshadow
9. I have a number of different mascaras on the go at once. They are usually Maybelline XXL, Clinique Naturally Glossy Mascara or Estee Lauder XL Mascara
Even though I apply alot i can have my wash and have my makeup on in under 10 minutes.

Answer:
My routine takes around 25-30 minutes.
* Cleanse and moisturise. Wait a few minutes for the moisturiser to sink into skin.
* Apply concealer over the greyness under my eyes.
* Apply lightest amount of MAC Studio Fix liquid foundation across naturally rosy cheeks, chin and nose.
* Dust MAC Studio Fix Powder over entire face.
* Apply eye shadow.
* Apply mascara. I use 3 different mascaras: one for the bottom lashes, which is a mascara to give a natural effect. Right now I'm using Clinique Naturally Glossy. On the top lashes I first apply 2 coats of a mascara that will define each lash with zero clumping and add darkness to my lashes that have naturally blonde tips. Then I apply 2-3 coats of a volumising mascara to really give oomph to my lashes. I find a volumising mascara on my long but thin lashes without a base mascara means they're more likely to clump. By applying the volumising mascara after my lashes have been separated and defined seems to work a treat. My favourite volumising mascaras are Lancome Hypnose and YSL Faux Cils.
* Apply clear mascara to my brows to keep them tamed.
* Apply a small amount of powder blush. Fave is Chanel Irrellee in Be-Bop.
* Apply lipstick and/or gloss. Like others, I often wear a lipstick under a gloss or mix and match glosses to get interesting and unique colour combinations. I think having your lips done completes your look - even for women who don't wear a face full of makeup if they just apply a slick of gloss I think they look 10 times better. It really brightens your face. I'm a complete lipgloss junkie, so at minimum I won't walk out the door with gloss and a coat of mascara on.
Sometimes I wish I could just roll out of bed and look great but nature wasn't that kind - and I love makeup and experimenting with colour combinations so I don't find it a hassle to spend half an hour each day doing my makeup.

Answer:
Another sticky
1. Cleanse with water
2. Moisturise with jojoba oil
3. Clinique cityblock sp25
4. Concealer (revlon colourstay)
5. Pawpaw ointment on lips.
That is all I usually wear for work, I don't feel like getting all made up to go to work for some reason.
Then when I feel like it lipgloss, mascara, blush, highlighter, eyeshadow, eyeliner etc. That can take 10 minutes or half an hour depending on how I feel.

6. Set with powder (Chanel Peche, Chanel Lilas, Chanel Coromandels)
7. Blush/Bronzer
8. Eyeshadow
9. Mascara
