How I Cut My Makeup Time in Half

After five years of fumbling with makeup, here’s my truth: Eye makeup eats the most time. And when I skip it (or simplify it), I can be out the door in 10 minutes. Here’s my lazy-but-effective strategy: Only base where you need it. Skip the full-face mask. I spot-cover dull areas with foundation, or use a sheer cushion compact just on the inner face. No ghost-face. Prioritize high-impact zones. Brows, blush, lips. These three wake up your whole face fast. Eyes? Focus on lashes + liner. If nothing else, just curl, coat, and line. Add shimmer on lower lash line if you’ve got time. Powder > cream. Blush powders are way faster to blend than sticky sticks or balms. Still using cream? Use a puff—not fingers. Absorbs excess and evens it out. Makeup doesn’t have to be maximal to work. It just has to be smart. #beauty #makeup #quickmakeuproutine
