Use a tinted moisturizer with SPF instead of separately moisturizing, putting on sunscreen, and then adding foundation.

Step 2: Get a makeup tray

Get a tray or organizer for your makeup essentials, so you don’t waste time digging through a cosmetic bag for each item.

How To Speed Up Your Morning Beauty Routine: Tame your eyebrows

Step 3: Tame your eyebrows

Tame your eyebrows with a little petroleum jelly; it makes them look polished in an instant without the fuss of an eyebrow pencil. If you’re in a real hurry, dab some on your lips, too, instead of lip color.

How To Speed Up Your Morning Beauty Routine: Use a crayon

Step 4: Use a crayon

Swipe an eye crayon across your lids, near the lash line. They’re more forgiving than pencils or liquid eyeliners, and you won’t have to bother with time-consuming contouring.

How To Speed Up Your Morning Beauty Routine: Curl your eyelashes

Step 5: Curl your eyelashes

Curl your eyelashes. If you do, you’ll only need one fast coat of mascara for your eyes to really pop.

Use a separate, smaller mascara brush for the lower lashes; it’s less likely to cause smudges that need to be cleaned up.

How To Speed Up Your Morning Beauty Routine: Apply lip gloss

Step 6: Apply lip gloss

Apply lip gloss, which doesn’t require the steady hand that lip liner and lipstick do.

How To Speed Up Your Morning Beauty Routine: Admire yourself

Step 7: Admire yourself

Give yourself an admiring glance in the mirror and go!

A survey found the average woman uses 12 beauty products per day, while teen girls use about 17.
