Pre-Match Lipstick: Pre-match your lipstick to your outfit the night before. This eliminates the need to spend time selecting the perfect shade in the morning.

Set with a Spray: Set your makeup with a setting spray rather than applying powder. It's quicker and keeps your makeup in place all day.

Beauty on a Deadline: How to Get the Most Out of 5 Minutes

The 2-Minute Face: In a real rush? Focus on concealer, mascara, and a swipe of lipstick or lip gloss. These three steps can make a world of difference.

Dual-Purpose Lip and Cheek Products: Use a lip and cheek tint or stain for a quick flush of color on both your lips and cheeks.

Quick Brow Gel: Instead of meticulously filling your brows, use a tinted brow gel to add color and shape in seconds.
