Do you find yourself skipping makeup and hair in the morning just so you can grab 15 or 20 precious extra minutes of shut-eye? Or worse, are you losing sleep to an overlong makeup routine? Don't do it! There's no need to suffer for beauty in the mornings, and we've got a few beauty tricks up our sleeves that can speed up anyone's maquillage. See five of our easiest ways to make mornings less painful below.

1. Tint and/or perm your lashes — You could also get lash extensions, but they're pricey. Getting your lashes dyed and permanently curled makes mascara unnecessary for lots of people, it lasts for about six weeks, and a tint or perm should only cost you about $30.

2. Braid the night before — Braided hairstyles can last most people at least a couple of days, so spend a little time one evening braiding your hair, then protect it overnight by pinning it up or covering it with a scarf or cap. Then, in the morning all you have to do is smooth down flyaways.

3. Skip the foundation — All-over foundation looks great on the red carpet, but for everyday life it's much faster to substitute a light powder and then just use a concealer to cover spots.

4. Use a tinted moisturizer with SPF — Another foundation-free option that multitasks beautifully is tinted moisturizer with SPF. It evens skin tone, covers up little imperfections, hydrates, and protects your skin in one swipe.

5. Use a stain on your cheeks and lips — Stains are sheer, so blending them is much faster and easier than powder or lipsticks, and you don't have to worry about coordinating makeup colors if you use a double-duty product.

What trick would you add to this list?

I've been wearing make-up on a regular basis since I was in my late teens and I remember one golden rule. If you routine takes longer than 5 minutes, you might be putting on too much. Since then I've extedend the time limit to 10 minutes, adding my hair styling to the routine.

I even have a clock in the bathroom where I do most of my make-up and hair. I find these two tips help me stay on track. A time limit and a clock.

Otherwise, if you give yourself plenty of time, get up an extra 15 minutes earlier, you don't need to rush.

A weird trick i use, in place of blush, and this only works because the skin on my cheeks is perfect and i'm super pale lol:

I use mineral or powder foundation, then i wet my fingertips slightly, rub then together, then suck my cheeks in and rub where i'd normally put blush. It rubs off just enough powder to see a natural flush underneath :)

Great tips!! :) never heard of an eyebrow perm though!

Follow my blog! its about every thing, school, boys, make up, fashion... :)

I really recommend braiding your hair for night time, i do it and its been so much softer and silkier, and i don't need to brush it as much so its thicker and grows quicker :)

decide what clothes and style of make up you would wear before you sleep, when you wake up the next day, you don't need to think about it for too long
