Contrary to what you might believe, it doesn’t take a full face of makeup to look like you put some effort into your morning beauty routine. Here are a few easy steps that can be done in 10 minutes or less: Coverage. What condition is your skin in? Do you have a few blemishes you want to hide? Do you have undereye circles? If so, then concealer will be your best friend. Just dab a small amount on imperfections and tap with your ring finger to blend into the skin. Not only is this fast to do, but it helps to make your skin look natural and perfect without looking heavy.

For undereye coverage, choose a concealer that has a creamy, not oily, texture such as MAC Studio Finish Concealer or Paula Dorf Magic Stick. By covering the darkness under the eyes, the face automatically looks fresher and brighter. If you need overall coverage, look for a powder or cream-to-powder foundation that can be applied quickly with a cosmetics wedge or sponge.
