Beat the morning rush and still look impeccable? Not a problem if you streamline your A.M. beauty routine with these time-saving makeup tips.

1. Foundation

The fastest way to even out your skin tone is to apply foundation only where needed -- to cover red cheeks or a blemish. Bonus: It's also more natural-looking than wearing foundation on the entire face. Just remember to blend out any visible edges for a flawless finish. Pat a little concealer onto undereye circles and set with loose powder.

2. Brow powder

Brow powder offers the easiest way for quick brow definition. The application doesn't require as much precision as traditional brow pencils, so it's practically mistake-proof -- you'd avoid ending up with uneven brows in your haste.

3. Eyeshadows

Eyeshadows in neutral or slightly pearlized shades are real time-savers. The shades are close to skin color, and are much more forgiving of mistakes than darker or brighter eyeshadows. All-in-one crayons also offer quick application -- if you get one in a neutral shade, you can use it on eyes and lips.

4. Blush

Save time by applying blusher with a big fluffy brush, instead of the minuscule brush that comes together with the blusher -- you deposit color and blend at the same time.

5. Mascara

Choose mascaras with a thin-brush wand also helps prevent clumping and messy application and makes it easier to reach the tiny corner lashes and lash roots.

6. Tinted gloss

Lip gloss with a hint of color gives your pout a plump finish and lots of shine. Plus, no need precise application needed -- just dab on and you're ready to go!
