Who honestly wants to spend an hour getting ready each morning? Or should we say, who has an hour to spend primping? Between jobs, kids, pets, workout routines, Facebook updates and significant others, there's never enough time to fit everything in. Here, we share expert tips for saving time on your hair and makeup routine -- now you won't have to sacrifice looking great for that daunting to-do list.

The ultimate way to save time on styling your hair -- don't wash it. If you have greasy and or flat roots, spritz them with dry shampoo (try Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo, $24). Part and spritz until your whole root area is coated and then brush the dry shampoo through your strands for even distribution. -- Taylor Babaian, Los Angeles-based hair and makeup artist

If you have time to apply only one makeup item, choose blush. It "instantly enlivens the complexion and a great blush literally makes you look alive," says Petra Strand, creator and founder of Pixi cosmetics.

To cut down on blow drying time, follow these steps courtesy of Patrick Jagaille, hairstylist from the Serge Normant Los Angeles Salon:

Step 1: Squeeze excess water out of your hair after showering.
Step 2: Apply the styling products you normally use.
Step 3: Part your hair the way you want to wear it then comb through your strands.
Step 4: Let hair air dry while you do your makeup, drink coffee, dress the kids, etc.
Step 5: Now blow dry -- it should take about half the time.

Save a step by using foundation that contains sunscreen or other skin-benefiting ingredients (try Shiseido The Makeup Lifting Foundation SPF 16, $42.50). Apply it with your fingers (make sure they're clean) to blend it in quickly. Bonus tip: "If you can't blend [foundation or concealer] into your skin quickly, it's not the right color," Babaian says.
