Like plenty of others,Courteney Coxdoesn’t have a lot of time to get ready in the morning. So theFriendsactress decided to share some tips in a really relatable and super-quick five-minute makeup routine on Instagram.
“So since I’m always late, I wanted to learn how to do my makeup the most efficient way, in five minutes, with 10 things. And I’m going to show you how,” Cox, 56, said at the beginning ofher tutorial.
She followed withStila Convertible Color Cream Blushto warm up the complexion. “I put it here on my cheeks. I put it on my nose, my chin and that’s that,” Cox said.
“One of the reasons I have to do this is I got my eyes tattooed a long time ago and it’s this weird blue, I hate it,” Cox revealed. “I don’t recommend that. So I have to cover it over with a brown to cover that blue, cause it looks so fake.”
Cox also uses a lighter brown eyeliner shade fromNYX Cosmeticson her lower lashline. “It’s just a lighter, lighter brown and I put that underneath cause I don’t want to look like I have too much makeup on, but I want to outline my bottom lashes,” she said. Then the actress uses a slim, pointed eye blending brush to smudge out the liner. “It can be kind of messy because you don’t want a hard line,” she explained.

She finished with a few coats of her “favorite” Marc Jacobs Beauty Mascara and a dab of thePalladio Rice Paper Blotting Sheetsto diminish shine. “That’s it! That’s my five minute makeup tip,” Cox said as she smiled to the camera and showed off her completed look.

In the video, the mother-daughter duo sat on the ground as Arquette got to work, beginning with her mom’s eyeshadow. But getting the look just right wasn’t as easy as she had hoped. “Well your eyes arereallyhard to work with mom,” Arquette said as she blended the eyeshadow into Cox’s crease.
When Arquette finished, her mom was surprised that the look was completed so quickly. “That’s the whole makeup? This is the whole look?” she asked. Her daughter replied, “That’s all I do!”
