There are a plethora of makeup tips on how to get certain looks. However, sometimes what we are actually looking for is far more practical. Love your look already, but hate having to get up 30 to 90 minutes earlier than you would otherwise need to? Then you need timesaver makeup tips.

There is always room to shave time off makeup preparations. All you need to do is pinpoint the acceptable shortcuts. There are some steps that it doesn’t make sense to give up. Letting go of other steps, however, can actually improve your look and your skin.

Here are some major minute-saving makeup tips for morning time saving:

• Put foundation and moisturizer together
Many moisturizers are so creamy that you can use them as foundation. Use a thick moisturizer that will support powder and eye shadow. This saves you time applying foundation and works hydration into your morning routine. Many people forego hydration because it takes so long for the lotions to absorb. Thick, non-oily moisturizers absorb quickly and support makeup.

Of course, many people feel like they need foundation to even out skin tone. Try a mineral powder over the moisturizer or a combination foundation/moisturizer like Olay’s Definity Color Recapture.

• Work sun safety into existing products
Applying a layer of sunscreen is time consuming and greasy. Use products that already have a built-in SPF of at least 15. Most makeup products have built-in UV protection. Mineral makeup products have an SPF of 15 or higher.

• Lightening up can be easy on the eyes.
Eye makeup will almost always use up the most time in a beauty routine. Go a little lighter for a lighter look. You can make your eyes look luminous in just one easy step . Add a dark, smudged semi-circle to the crease in your eye. Let go of the heavy eyeliners for work and daily wear. You’ll look more appropriate with mascara and eye shadow.

At first you may have trouble getting used to your streamlined beauty routine. But soon you will adore your new, more natural look. Use these minute-saving makeup tips to get some more beauty sleep!
