Invest in Eyelash Extensions
Lash extensions look better than any mascara, and while they can be pricey, how much would you pay for an extra five minutes every morning that you didn't have to mess with eye makeup? Not to mention, you get to say (with truth!), "Yes, I woke up like this."

Use Beauty Multitaskers
Beauty products that do more than one thing save time and money. A couple of our favorites? We like Tower28 BeachPlease Luminous Tinted Balm, $20; smear a little onto the apples of your cheeks for a rosy glow, then a little on the lips for definition. The dual-ended Josie Maran The Good Brow, $24, is also great for quickly shaping and highlighting your eyebrows.

Slather on the Night Cream
Hydrating your face with intense moisture (say with a great night cream or a sleeping mask, like the gorgeous Peach & Lily Overnight Star Sleeping Mask, $43) before you hit the hay helps ensure you wake up to dewy skin that's ready for whatever the day brings.
