Foundation

Look for a foundation product that is multi-purpose: an all-in-one foundation stick can work as a concealer and foundation. A cream-to-powder foundation makeup dries to a powder finish.

Nails

A manicure can be time-consuming. To get polished nails fast, apply a one-coat nail polish for a base coat, nail colour and top coat all in one.

Dry Shampoo

When you are strapped for time, a dry shampoo can be a lifesaver. Just shake it up, spray it liberally on the roots of your hair and massage it into the scalp, then brush it through. It will absorb grease and oil and give you a volume boost.

Colour Stick

An all-in-one colour stick can be used as blush, eyeshadow and lipstick. Pop them in your purse or cosmetics bag for a versatile look on the go.
