Many women are fed up with their old makeup and extensive morning routine. They wish that they could ditch their exhaustive beauty habits and switch to something easier and quicker without losing their put together look. Following these five simple tips can enhance a woman’s natural beauty in just minutes without the usual hours of primping and polishing.

Use a Tinted Moisturizer with SPF
The first step in any beauty routine should always be to moisturize the skin. Using a tinted moisturizer with SPF will kill three birds with one stone, making the makeup process faster. First, moisturized skin will be more supple and look fresher then dry skin which will in turn lay a better foundation for any makeup that is later applied.

Second, the tint in the moisturizer acts as a light cover up and will hide any subtle imperfections on the skin. Third, and most importantly, the SPF will provide protection from the sun throughout the day and will help prevent wrinkles and damaged skin in the future. If necessary, a heavier cover up or a concealer pencil and spot conceal and major blemishes or redness on the face.

Apply a Translucent Powder
Translucent powders can be found in loose or compacted form and in almost any shade, but they all serve the same purpose, to balance out skin tone and set the makeup. Powder is nearly undetectable on the skin and can help create a flawless foundation. It is crucial in the process of makeup application, but it takes only seconds to use.

Use a Cream Blush for Long Lasting Effect
Powder blush has long been the standard, but cream blush is the key to this speedy routine. It will give the face a natural flushed glow and leave it looking and feeling hydrated. It is also longer lasting then powder blush, which saves time that was once wasted in re-applications throughout the day.

Curl Eyelashes and Apply a Quick Layer of Mascara
Everyday eye makeup does not need to be overly exaggerated. A quick curl of the lashes and a layer of mascara will do the trick. Curling the lashes will make the eyes looks wider and brighter. In view of saving time it is suggested that any curling is done before putting on mascara so that time is not wasted waiting for it to dry completely. Mascara is only needed on the top lashes. An easy stroke or two of the lash wand and presto, the eyes are done!

Use a Tinted Lip Balm With SPF
Lips need sun protection too. A tinted balm with SPF will moisturize and protect lips and also give them subtle and natural color. For a little more glam, a thin layer of gloss can be applied to the top of that if desired.

Utilizing these suggestions only takes about five minutes, but will leave a girl looking like she spent hours! With these five tips busy women can speed up their morning makeup ritual and still look beautiful.
