Let’s face it—we don’t always have time for a full face of makeup on busy mornings. Whether you're running out the door to work, school drop-offs, or an early meeting, you still want to look fresh, confident, and put together.

Good news? You can achieve a glowing, effortless look in just 5 minutes using natural, plastic-free beauty essentials from Plastic Free Pursuit. This quick routine is skin-loving, sustainable, and perfect for minimalist mornings.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to getting ready fast—without compromising on quality, clean ingredients, or the planet.

Step 1: Refresh & Prep (30 seconds)

Start with a clean canvas. If you don’t have time for a full face wash, gently swipe your skin with damp Pebble Beach Facial Rounds. These ultra-soft, reusable rounds are perfect for applying toner, micellar water, or wiping away excess oil without creating any waste.

Step 2: Even Out Skin Tone (60 seconds)

Skip the heavy foundation. For a natural finish that lets your skin breathe, reach for the Plant-Based Powder Foundation – Foraged Fields. This buildable, lightweight powder balances uneven tone and reduces shine without clogging pores. Just swirl, buff, and go!

Bonus: It comes in a glass container—zero plastic, 100% guilt-free.

Step 3: Add a Healthy Flush (30 seconds)

Brighten your face with a pop of color using the Plant-Based Blush – Pretty. This warm-toned blush gives you a soft, radiant glow in seconds. A quick swipe across your cheeks and a dab on the bridge of your nose is all you need to look instantly refreshed.

Step 4: Multi-Task with Color (90 seconds)

No time for eyeshadow, lipstick, and highlighter? No problem. The Balmie Duo Set has you covered. These multi-use color crayons glide on like butter and can be used on your lips, cheeks, and lids for a coordinated monochrome look.

Just apply, blend with your fingers, and admire your glow-up—all in under two minutes.

Step 5: Finish with Fragrance (30 seconds)

Last but not least, dab on a little Coastal Pine Solid Perfume. It’s a grounding, nature-inspired scent that gives you a sense of calm and confidence as you head out the door. Since it's solid, you can toss it in your bag without worrying about leaks or spills.
