Late for work. School run rush. Surprise zoom call. Need a quick post gym glow up. Impromptu drinks. Sometimes we need a super flattering look - super fast!

But, can you look fresh, flawless and fabulous in five minutes?

Yes, you absolutely can. Here’s the ‘in a rush’ routine that’s perfect for when time runs away!

We tasked John Lewis beauty buyer Georgia White, with creating a new 5-minute face that will save us time, and save the day.

"It feels like we’re all busier than ever at the moment, so we’ve picked our top 4 time-saving products which can be applied in an instant. All formulations are buildable (even the Mascara!) so you can apply a quick, subtle layer or go back and add more. We’re seeing multi-use products as the way forward for saving time in our day but still achieving that effortless, ‘no-makeup makeup’ look.” Georgia White.
