6 Ways to Speed Up Your Morning Beauty Routine!

Let’s face it; nobody has time for lengthy morning beauty routines!
You don’t have to over complicate things. It is possible for you to get ready in less time and still look ‘put together’!

Here are a few quick and easy tips to speed up your morning routine so you can dash out the door in no time at all!

6 Ways to Speed Up Your Morning Beauty Routine!

1. Take Care of Your Skin
   First things first, you must maintain that beautiful canvas of yours! Sure, it’s easy to cover up flaws with makeup, however, if you take care of your skin from the get-go, you can avoid the extra time it takes covering up skin blemishes and/or other skin imperfections.

   Remember to protect your skin from the sun’s UV rays, get adequate sleep, and eat a healthy diet. These will ensure you have the best skin to work with when it’s time to get ready in the morning!

2. Prepare the Night Before
   This should go without saying…Remove your makeup before bed and cleanse your face thoroughly!

   The next thing you may want to consider is applying any fancy skin serum, face oil, or deep repair creams at nighttime. Your body is hard at work restoring your skin while you sleep. So you’ll wake up with glowing skin in the morning!

   Plus, you can save time in the AM since your heavy duty skincare regimen has been taken care of the night before! Now, all you have to do is quickly wash your face and apply a light moisturizer before moving on to your makeup.

3. Use Multi-purpose Products
   When short on time, always opt for double-duty products!
   Here are some examples:
   • Lipstick that doubles as cream blush
   • Foundation that contains SPF
   • Bronzer that doubles as eyeshadow
   • Eyeliner that doubles as a brow pencil
4. Accentuate Your Features
   Time is of the essence when you’re on a tight schedule, so stop focusing on your flaws and start focusing on your best features! Whether it’s your eyes, lips, or cheekbones that are your favorite, pick one or two and make them stand out with a pop of color!
5. Get Organized
   If you’re like most girls, you may have a beauty product hoarding problem (hey, nobody’s judging…)! 

   It’s okay to LOVE your beauty products, but it’s important to keep them organized so you can find what you’re looking for when you’re in a rush.

   A great way to make things easier for you is to store your regular daily beauty products separate from your stash of less frequently used beauty products. That way, when you’re getting ready in the morning, you can quickly access what you are looking for.

6. Simplify Your Routine
   It’s totally fine to have a ‘basic’ routine for your day-to-day skincare and makeup. In fact, you’ll save time and avoid stressing out if you do the same thing every day. Save the fancy winged liner, contouring, and smoky eye for special occasions!

   In the meantime, here’s a simple morning routine that will save you time!

   Your {Simplified} Daily Morning Beauty Routine:

   1. Cleanse your face with a mild cleanser.
   2. Moisturize your face with a gentle day cream.
   3. Apply a foundation that contains SPF.
   4. Brush on a coat of mascara.
   5. Line your upper water line with eyeliner to give the illusion of thicker lashes!
   6. Glide on some nude lip gloss!

And VOILA!
A quick, easy morning routine!
