1. Use multi-purpose products: Cut your primping time in half by using products that do double-duty, such as a super-hydrating cleanser, tinted moisturizer or tinted lip balm.

2. Stick to the basics: If you’re in a serious rush, spend your few precious minutes on a few simple steps – a dab of concealer, a swipe of mascara, a brush of blush and one coat of tinted lip balm. You’re done!

Skip the shower: If your hair doesn’t need a thorough washing every day, you can save time by skipping your morning shower. Instead, use a dry shampoo to absorb oil and try a facial cleansing cloth to freshen up your complexion.

4. Get creative: No need to spend extra time searching for the perfect shade of shadow. If you have fair skin, a bronzy blush can double as eye shadow, while a rosy hue works for darker complexions.

5. Go for the tousled look: Forget the hair dryer or flat iron. Use a texturizing spray on damp hair, then twist into a bun while you’re getting ready. Release, finger-comb and voila – beautiful, wavy locks!
