Try abbreviating your morning routine with these time-saving beauty short cuts. You'll look like a million bucks and have time to spare...
1. Get smoky eyes in a flash by lining eyes top and bottom with a soft, black pencil. Go back and smudge entire line for the "smoky" look. Try Pur Minerals Mineral Eye Defining Pencil with Smudger in Onyx.
2. Skip mascara on bottom lashes. This saves both application and "clean-up" time. Plus, this eliminates the smudging and dark circles that can occur later in the day/evening.
3. Apply a rich cream like Jean-Michelle Rejuvenesse Creme Beaute Ultra Fermete to brow and cheek bones for dewy highlights in a hurry.
4. If you like to use powder, opt for a pressed version. These give better coverage more quickly and create less mess. Try the best-selling Madeleine Mono Oil-Free Translucent Powder. It's a customer favorite!
5. Apply powder and blush with a large, fluffy brush. This saves application time and eliminates the need for blending. Japonesque Powder Brush is a great one!
6. For color and glow on-the-go, skip foundation and powder and go straight for the bronzer. Diandra Sun-Kissed Bronzer creates warmth while evening out skin tone.
7. Instead of using an overstuffed makeup bag, set up all your makeup and tools in one area of your bathroom. You'll have an easier time finding what you need quickly.
8. Opt for classic neutrals rather than trendy makeup colors. This will save you the trouble of having to coordinate your look.
9. Skip the full face wash in the morning unless you have very oily skin. If you wash your face thoroughly in the evening, a simple splash of water should be sufficient in the A.M.
10. Give hair instant volume by moving or "zig-zagging" your part.
Ready, Set.... Go!
