So there you are, shelves and stacks of products, primers, concealers and other 'essentials' you can't live without. Don't you feel sometimes your skincare regime is reaching that point of ridiculousness, where your preparations for the day are eating into the hours of your life?

If so, we have a few tips to shorten your beauty chores, whilst using less products with the same, if not better effect.

PRIME NO MORE

It's a very shocking trend within cosmetics industry to make women believe they can't go without some kind of a preparatory procedure before they go ahead and apply their everyday make up. The foundation will cake or fade if you don't apply a PRIMER. Hmm, why not produce a better quality foundation, we ask? By the way, have you ever tried and pick one primer for your skin tone? The options are confusing, overwhelming, and a healthy, properly moisturised skin doesn't need to BE prepped with a yellow hue equalizer. Or any colour. Period.

FACE FOUNDATIONS DEMOLISHED

Yes, we said it. You don't need it. This is the era of multitasking BB and CC creams, that moisturise, nourish, even out the skin tone colour, control shininess and mattify. If you really want to be out through the door in ten minutes, forget fluidy foundations, that are seriously messy and, what's even worse, block your skin's natural functions like a plaster on your broken leg. The difference is, plaster on your leg makes sense and helps your leg recover, whereas your thick foundation just suffocates your skin's ability to breathe. Foundation in long term is a very bad beauty choice. You'll end up having to cover up with a thicker gunk what others had caused.
