You will always be able to find makeup tips that deal with changing your look. However, sometimes what we are actually looking for is far more practical. Do you already have a look you love, just hate the time it takes to get it? You need makeup tips that will save you minutes.
No matter what your look is, you can shave some time off your preparations. All you need to do is pinpoint the acceptable shortcuts. There are some steps that it doesn’t make sense to give up. Other things though can actually improve the state of your skin if you drop them.
Here are some classic makeup tips to shave time off your morning routine:
• Combine your foundation and your moisturizer
Many moisturizers are so creamy that you can use them as foundation. The best is a thick moisturizer to support powder and eye shadow. This saves you time applying foundation and works hydration into your morning routine. It is not uncommon for people to skip hydration because the lotions take so long to absorb. But thick, non-oily moisturizers absorb quickly and support makeup.
Of course, many think that they have to have foundation to even out skin tone. Try a combination product like Olay’s Definity Color Recapture.
• Buy sun safe 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 foundations have UV protection at this point. Mineral cosmetics have a natural SPF of 15 or higher.
• Lighter can be easier on the eyes.
Eye makeup usually takes up the most time in a beauty routine. Going lighter can be better. You can get large, luminous eyes in one easy step. Add a dark, smudged semi-circle to the crease in your eye. Heavy eyeliners are unnecessary for work and daily wear. You’ll find that mascara and eye shadow are plenty.
You may have trouble getting used to your new streamlined beauty routine. But you will learn to love your more natural look. Implement these minute-saving makeup tips and start getting a little more beauty sleep!
