There never seems to be enough time in the morning to accomplish all that needs to be done before heading off to work. Now add children, a spouse, and, most likely, pets of top of getting yourself ready for work for a recipe for instant havoc. With all that needs to be done it’s a miracle that most women make it out of the house dressed in the morning, let alone primped and polished. If you’re a wonder woman on the go, it’s very likely that one of your first morning chores that get sacrificed is your makeup regiment. We've found a couple quick tips that may help you complete your morning and wear your makeup too!

Looking for an all in one? One of the makeup world’s current favorites is beauty balms. These luscious creams combine primer and nutrients to create a multitasking cream to prime, brighten and protect all in one. These balms give your skin an instant glow to brighten your complexion in the morning. Add a layer ten minutes before you hop in the shower for a moisturizing mask perfect for dry, dehydrated skin.

For a fast, flawless look switch to mineral makeup. There is always a lot of hype surrounding mineral makeup products due to a lack of chemicals, dyes, and artificial materials in mineral makeup. On top of buying natural products, moms can also speed up their morning ritual with an easy one and blend mineral powder foundation. Many mineral makeup products also contain SPF, cutting out one more step of your morning makeup routine.

Would you prefer to have professionally air-brushed makeup every morning? Try a spray-on foundation for a similarly lightweight and flawless application without the million-dollar bill. Spray on for the perfect coverage in seconds; spray-on foundations provides a build-able coverage without the heavy, caked on feel of traditional liquid foundations.
