Has severe RBF but is fairly jolly and carefree on the inside. Degree of life satisfaction is heavily influenced by food.

Whether your life motto is "less is more", or you're the laid back kind of girl, or if you simply rather have that extra 15 minutes of sleep, there are always ways to put your best face forward in the shortest time possible and with the least effort!

Read on to find out 5 easy and quick makeup tricks!

#1 Tinted moisturiser

Foundation is probably the most time-intensive step in any makeup routine and we time-efficient girls really can’t be bothered with it. Instead, opt for a tinted moisturiser or BB cream to even out your skin tone and blur imperfections. You can apply it in just seconds and you don't even need a brush or sponge!

#2 Use a multi-purpose makeup product

Instead of using different products, brushes and sponges, just use a single lip tint, lipstick or blush to accentuate your face! Choose a flattering shade in a coral or berry hue and lightly apply it then blend. Use it on your cheeks, lips and eyelids for a flush of colour leaving you looking healthy and radiant.

#3 Cream highlighter

A golden-toned highlighter flatters any skin tone and adds warmth to your skin while giving it a glow! Choose a cream formula as it's easy and quick to blend compared to powder highlighters. Pop it along the top of your cheekbones in a "C" shape, the outer corner of your eyes, the middle of your nose and your cupid's bow for some serious definition in just seconds.

#4 Tinted brow gel

Filling in your eyebrows is another hassle, but also a step that can't be missed as we know how much of a difference a groomed brow can make. Simplify the process by skipping the pencils and powder and going for a tinted brow gel! When choosing a brow gel, the rule is that the smaller the brush, the better it is for creating a full, natural-looking brow.

#5 Eyelash curler and clear mascara

If carefully applying eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara plus correcting any mistakes that may occur sounds like a drag to you, then just skip all those steps! Simply curling your eyelashes can instantly widen your eyes and clear mascara can subtly define your lashes while being virtually impossible to mess up even when you're applying it in a hurry.

Now that you have these handy tricks, you can look your best every day with minimal effort!
