Being a new mom at 38 means every second of my morning counts – and if there’s one place I trust to stock my vanity with products that actually save me time, it’s Nordstrom. Whether I’ve had two hours of sleep or five, I need my makeup to work fast and without fuss. That’s why I’m always on the hunt for multitasking essentials that simplify my routine without sacrificing the polished, put-together vibe I’m going for. Nordstrom makes that easy with its curated beauty selection. There are tons of options for everything from complexion shortcuts to eye brighteners that deliver major impact in just a few swipes. Ahead, I’m sharing the 5 makeup products I reach for daily that let me look awake and refreshed in five minutes flat.
This skin tint does it all – coverage, skincare, and sun protection in one step. On rushed mornings, it’s the product I reach for when I don’t have time for a full routine but still want that healthy, hydrated glow.
Brightens without looking heavy or cakey, which is key when you’re short on time. I use this radiant concealer under the eyes and around the nose for a quick lift that makes me look instantly more awake. For reference, I use shade 3.5.
Blush, lip, and even a quick eye tint in one stick (depending on the color you pick). It blends easily with fingers and is basically foolproof. This product is truly perfect for when I’m getting ready one-handed. I love the shade Lady Bird, which is a deeper warm nude – great on darker skin tones.
This isn’t marketed as a contour, but the creamy formula and cool undertone make it ideal for fast, natural-looking definition. The shade Cool Almond is great if you have medium-tan skin. It glides on and blends fast – no brush required if you need to save another minute.
These shadows are my secret for looking put-together in seconds. One swipe gives you a polished eye look with zero fallout, and the shades are wearable enough for every day but still have that elevated vibe. Burnt Sienna Chrome is a warm, coppery shimmer that brings just the right amount of glow to the lids, while Cashew is the perfect soft matte taupe for defining the crease or wearing solo when you want to enhance your eyes.
