Model & Actress Denise Vasi's 5-Minute Morning Makeup Routine 

But that also means she's busy. Like really busy. And thus has to keep a very edited daily beauty routine. "I'm a mom and I'm working all the time, whether it's with the kids, running my business, running errands, or whatever, I don't have time to sit down and do a crazy look. I need products that really perform well and I can use them very quickly," the maed founder says on this episode of Clean Beauty School. Here, her near-effortless daily routine. 

No look is complete without proper sun protection, says Vasi. "I put on sunscreen every day. Like that is 101 skin care right there," she says. "You need to be wearing sunscreen every single day, even in the winter, no matter what shade of skin you have. It is a must."

We know sun and environmental exposure is one of the leading causes of premature aging and most skin care woes—and SPF is one of the best ways to protect skin from those UV-induced free radicals. So as her prep step before her makeup routine, she applies an option like Biossance Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen. Want some other solid recommendations?

She loves it so much, she gets them in three shades to expertly apply to her whole face: "For example, I use shade No. 6 under my eyes to lighten up my dark circles. And I use No. 7 on and around my face to fix any little imperfections that I want to cover up. And then I use No. 8 basically as a bronzer to contour and shape a little bit." 

But be warned, a bold lip requires regular lip care. Slipping on saturated pigment over chapped or dry lips looks less than appealing: "The only way to have the perfect red lip is if you really take care of your lips with exfoliation and making sure that you're using something at night to really hydrate and treat the lips," she says. "The lips are like the neck and hands; people forget about them."
