3 time saving beauty hacks you need this year

The amount of makeup you have stashed in your makeup bag is endless. Whilst we'd all love to look like we've just stepped off a movie set in the morning, sometimes there just isn't the time to apply that third coat of mascara or those ruby red lips. Time saving tips always rule highly in my book and I've found some fab ways to save a bit of time in the morning which still let you look great!

Cheeks and eyes  can double up

Find a tawny blusher and use it as both a blusher and eyeshadow. The orange brown shade will add a subtle warm flush of colour to the cheeks whilst accentuating eyes with a slight glow.

Skip the eyeliner - use mascara instead

Applying both eyeliner and mascara as you know can take some time. Instead of using eyeliner, press the tip of your mascara wand into the root of your lashes to stain the lash line and give a eye liner effect.

Cream blushers make great lip tints

A rosy cream blusher is perfect for adding a flush of colour to both lips and cheeks. The result is really natural looking and perfect for when you don't want to try too hard.
