The Best Time-Saving Beauty Products To Knock Minutes Off Your Morning Routine
We can all use a few extra minutes (or hours) while getting ready in the morning. Your beauty routine shouldn’t take up too much of your time, and if it does, then you need these time-saving products in your life.
Below, we’ve rounded up makeup and skincare that work double time — so you don’t have to. From a foundation that’s also a serum, a primer and a dark-spot corrector, to a cult-favourite blush that can also add colour to your eyelids and lips, these one-and-done products are a must-try.
