I love to do a full face of makeup everyday, but now that I'm back in school it's very time consuming. I leave myself with about an hour and fifteen minutes to get ready (this includes getting dressed and hair as well, I wear clip in extensions so that is timely) I often run out of time to do my makeup and often find myself just slapping on foundation and doing my brows.
Does anyone have any quick tricks that help you get your makeup done fast? I like to do an extensive face including shadows, lips and falsies.

I tend to prime while I'm doing everything else so at least that's done. When it comes to shadows if I'm in a rush I try to do something that doesn't require a lot of blending, so may it be single lid color, transition, and crease or just a single lid color. Powder foundation is supposed to be quicker to put on then liquid and as far as lashes go I have no idea.

I know this is terrible, and many will disapprove, but I do make up the night before. I don't wear a full face, just occasional BB cream, translucent powder, bronzer, mascara, eyeliner. I just touch up in the morning if anything is messed up from sleeping. Then I just do my hair in the morning.

I've always thought about that Allison. I know sleeping in makeup is bad, but it would be so helpful. I may try it out once.

You can be surprised how far a winged liner and brought lipstick will go, add a bb cream and foundation if you need it, contour of you have time. Don't forget those lashes! Falsies is the best for my in a rush days. That is my go to rush day look.

Curl your lashes super quick for longer lashes, applying facial makeup with a makeup sponge helps it blend quicker and I used to use baby powder as an oil absorbing finishing powder (more for lighter skin and it helps acne) later your foundation for a concealing/coverage if you have redness and no tinted foundation add a lil green shadow to your facial makeup!

Antonia, I feel your pain! It takes me about the same time to get ready. I also wear clip in hair extensions too, so I know how time consuming it is. I have somewhat of a little schedule for my morning routine, so I get things done faster.
I wake up at 5:45.
5:45-6:00 I wash my face, brush my teeth, go to the bathroom & put in my contacts.
6:00-6:30 I do my makeup
6:30 I get dressed
Then I do my hair until about 7.
Then I put on jewelry, perfume, shoes, etc.
Obviously, it doesn't end up timed that perfectly. But I find that doing the same routine everyday, really helps me get ready faster. This is the most efficient way for me to get ready. With this routine, it ends up taking me about 1 hour & 30 min from start to finish. I know that's not quicker, but it would also help to see what you can cut out of your morning routine. For example, I always straighten my hair the night before, and then touch it up in the morning. I really hope this helps! Every else thinks I'm insane for taking that long to get ready! Good to know I'm not alone. <3

I agree with Cierra! Lipstick and eyeliner go a long way. If I don't have too much time I put on lipstick, highlighting concealer, loose powder, and curl my lashes and add a little mascara. It's quick and a little goes a long way!

Yay! Thanks ladies, you were all so helpful. I'm definetely going to try out the lipstick idea, I have red and black ombre lips today with a smoky eye, and I could have easily cut the smoky eye out. Gonna do a bright pink or orange lippie tommorow with just some mascara. :-)
