SKIP the MORNING SHOWER
Most of your time in the morning is spent washing your hair, drying it, and styling it. You can reduce your workload by showering during the nighttime instead of the daytime. Then all you'll have to do is brush your hair a bit and style it.

STORE YOUR MAKEUP in ONE PLACE
Make sure all of your beauty products are in the same room, and even the same container. If you know where everything is, you won't have to run around the house searching for it all.
To optimize organization, consider acrylic drawers or makeup organizers that fit your collection. Labeling is your best friend as it allows you to find products effortlessly. Embrace a habit of straightening up post-application—a couple of minutes each day saves you from longer sorting sessions later. If your beauty arsenal overflows, it might be time to declutter—keeping only what you truly use ensures your makeup routine stays streamlined and efficient. Remember, a tidy space promotes a smooth, stress-free beauty ritual.

PREP YOUR SKIN the NIGHT before
If you wash your face every single night before you go to bed, it shouldn't take you all that long to prep your skin in the morning. All you'll have to do is splash some cold water over your face and call it a day.

STYLE YOUR HAIR WHILE YOU SLEEP
If you want your hair to look curly in the morning, sleep in curlers. If you want your hair to look wavy, sleep in a bun.
For that beachy wave texture, a loose braid can work wonders overnight. Ensure your hair is slightly damp before braiding for enhanced waves. If you're looking for smooth, straight locks, try wrapping your hair in a silk scarf to prevent frizz. And for those with longer hair, sleeping with a high ponytail can lead to a voluminous mane come morning. Remember, always use a scrunchie or soft hair tie to avoid breakage and kinks. These simple tricks will let you wake up to a fabulous hair day with minimal effort.

USE YOUR LIP COLOR as YOUR CHEEK COLOR
If you use your lip color as your cheek color, you won't have to search through your makeup bag for multiple products. You'll already have everything you need right in your hands.

If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence.
OPT for BB CREAM
This product will "even out your skin tone and act like a foundation, but it also moisturizes and primes your face for the rest of your makeup." That means it'll save you plenty of time.

Save LIP COLOR for YOUR COMMUTE
You usually have to reapply your lipstick throughout the day anyway, so you might as well wait until you reach your destination to color your lips.
