by vic on August 9, 2009

There are a plethora of makeup tips on how to get certain looks. But sometimes what we really need is far more practical. Already have a look that you like, but hate the time it takes you 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. Just always look for the good shortcuts. There are some steps that it doesn’t make sense to give up. Letting go of other things, though, can improve your looks and skin.

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

Put foundation and moisturizer together
A lot of moisturizers are so creamy that they can be used as foundation. Use a thick moisturizer that will support powder and eye shadow. This will help you keep hydration as part of your morning routine without losing time on foundation. Often people do not moisturize enough in the morning 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. You might consider trying a combination product like Olay’s Definity Color Recapture.

Buy products that are sun safe
A layer of sunscreen is responsible but very greasy. Use products that already have a built-in SPF of at least 15. Most foundation products now have built-in UV protection. Mineral cosmetics have a natural SPF of 15 or higher.

Lighter can be easier on the eyes.
Eyes are the hardest and most time-consuming part of most people’s beauty routines. Go a little lighter. You can create a luminous eye look in one easy step. Just smudge on a dark semi-circle into the crease of your eye. You do not need heavy eyeliners for work and daily wear. You’ll look more appropriate with mascara and eye shadow.

You may have trouble getting used to your new streamlined beauty routine. Soon though you will love your more natural look. You can use these minute-saving makeup tips to catch up on your beauty sleep.
