Quick Beauty Tips & Hacks to Sort Morning Makeup Juggle

 

1. Prepare Your Skin (Exfoliation + Toner + Moisturizer):

If you have only 5 to 10 minutes, or 15 minutes max, start preparing your skin with exfoliation (it is recommended to exfoliate skin 2 to 3 times a week). Next, apply toner and moisturizer. Toner helps to remove sebum and grime if you apply it without exfoliation and let the moisturizer get absorbed into your skin better. 

Note: Try to use brightening moisturizer to provide an instant glow to your skin. 

2. Eye Cream:

Eye cream is an essential part of your regular morning makeup regime. Some apply it before the moisturizer and some after the moisturizer. You can choose the step according to your preference and convenience. However, eye cream must be included in your time saving beauty hacks for everyday rushed mornings. 

Note: If you are a newcomer in applying eye cream, you can apply it at night before going to bed. It will save time for your busy morning beauty hacks and the cream gets absorbed well throughout the night. If your skin does not raise any red flags while applying the under-eye cream at night or in the morning, you can apply the under-eye concealer before applying the cream. This will blend them well and save you time as well to overcome the morning time makeup juggle.

3. BB Cream – A Time Saver:

If you are looking for a multi-tasker makeup tool during your busy morning routine, go for the BB cream from the brand you like. It protects your skin from dryness and blends well on your skin if you apply it just after the moisturizer. It unifies skin tone and does not clog your skin. With just one dab, your skin will look pretty, glowing, hydrated, and baby-soft. 

Note: BB cream must be part of your busy morning makeup routine not a replacement for moisturizer or regular skincare process. You can also use it as your makeup base instead of using the foundations. It is one of the pro and fast makeup tips that every makeup newbie can save as a Makeup Bookmark.

4. Powder Foundation:

If you are a Pro applying makeup, so don’t forget to apply the powder foundation. Powder foundation is easier to apply than liquid or cream foundation. Use a brush instead of your fingers to apply it evenly and flawlessly. Brushes offer more precision to your look and cover the imperfections. 

Note: Avoid using too much of powder. Otherwise, it can ruin your makeup and force you to remove it with wipes that become time-consuming.  

5. Dark Circle Eraser:

If you have dark circle issues, quickly apply a small amount of dark circle concealer with a cotton ball. 

Note: Use cotton balls to keep it light and avoid makeup mishaps.

Lipbalm is also applied quickly as a base before applying lip gloss or your fav lipstick. It will prevent smudging of your lipstick or gloss. Also, you can apply lip balm on the go if you forget to take care of your lips or you have a scarcity of time for lip makeup.
