A number of companies now make moisturizers that are creamy enough to double as foundation. Use a thick moisturizer that will support powder and eye shadow. This will help you save time on foundation while keeping hydration part of your morning routine. Many people forego hydration because it takes so long for the lotions to absorb. Thick, non-oily moisturizers absorb quickly and support makeup.
If you feel that you need foundation to even your skin tone, that’s fine. Try a combination product like Olay’s Definity Color Recapture.
• Work your sun safety into products you already use
You lose a lot of time and gain serious grease by applying a layer of sunscreen each day. Opt for products that have a built-in SPF of 15 or higher. Most foundations have built-in UV protection. Mineral makeup products have an SPF of 15 or higher.
