Get More Beauty Sleep Using these Makeup Tips

There are many makeup tips on getting certain looks. But sometimes what we really need is far more practical. Do you already love your look, just hate the time it takes to get it? You need makeup tips that will save you minutes.

You can always find time that can be shaved off beauty routines. Just keep an eye out and target the acceptable shortcuts. There will be some things that you cannot give up. Dropping other things can actually improve your skin’s overall health.

Here are a few classic makeup tips that will take serious time off of your morning routine:

• Combine foundation and moisturizer
Many moisturizers are so creamy that you can use them as foundation. You need a thick moisturizer that will support powder and eye shadow. This saves you the time of applying foundation and also keeps good hydration in 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.

You might feel that you need foundation to help even out your 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
A layer of sunscreen is responsible but very greasy. Use products that already have a built-in SPF of at least 15. Most foundations have built-in UV protection. Mineral makeup also has a natural SPF of at least 15.

• 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. You can get huge, luminous eyes in one easy step. Just smudge on a dark semi-circle into the crease of your eye. Heavy eyeliners are not necessary for work and casual wear. Try using just mascara and eye shadow.

You might have a little difficulty at first with your streamlined beauty routine. But soon you will adore your new, more natural look. In no time your minute saving makeup tips will have you caught up on your beauty sleep!
