10 Time Saving Makeup Tips

If you're constantly late and need some quick tips for making that rush a little less stressful or just looking for ways to speed up the process, keep on reading!

1. Don't bother putting on makeup 

Gurl, you beautiful the way you are. 

2. Pick out your products first

By picking them all out at the beginning, you save time between each stage looking for what you want next. To save even more time in the morning, you could even try doing this the night before. 

3. Just stick to mascara 

If you are to choose one product, choose this one. It opens your eyes and instantly brightens up your face. 

4. Do your lipstick on the go

I do this all the time. For example, waiting for the lift or walking down corridors, streets etc. If you're wearing nude lip colours I would definitely recommend this but perhaps not for bright or bold lip colours. You can always use your phone camera to help you or window reflections. 

5. Do mascara/brows first

If you run out of time, this combo would look much more normal than just a face base. I know I look like a complete alien with just foundation on, especially as it can cling on to your lashes/brows. 

6. Get your brows tinted and shaped 

You can get home kits for these as well. This can cut out time by a tenfold because, well, you don't have to do anything to your brows! 

7. Get a lash tint and perm

This may not be for everyone. I've never had a perm but I have had a tint and I love it. Again, for obvious reasons, it means you don't have to do your mascara! 

8. Skincare 

Invest in good skincare products to keep your skin nice and clear. Not only will give you a nicer base to work with, but it means you don't have to cover up any blemishes. Also, if you feel like you have clear skin, you may not bother with foundation at all! 

9. Use multipurpose products 

While putting on your bronzer, why not put it in the crease? I've also seen a few lip products that double up as blushers as well. Or to save money, just use a lipstick you already own! 

10. High coverage foundation

If you tend to need to touch up your makeup throughout the day, then I would advise you to use a full coverage foundation. Although you don't save time in the morning, you do save time during the day. Estée Lauder Double Wear is an excellent foundation for this as it doesn't budge at all. But if you're looking for something cheaper, try Revlon Colorstay.
