I need faster make up!

A few months ago I had a session at Mac and got some basic make up but I have since had my second baby and I am not fast enough to put it all on. I was thinking some tinted moisturiser might be fast and easy? Are they all different shades like foundation? I am not good at knowing what suits me. Also which ones are good?

I bought some No7 tinted moisturiser the other day. Think they do 3 shades, I bought 'Fair' which is the lightest but actually not quite light enough for me, might be a better colour match when I have a slight tan in the summer.

Consistency is good though and gives a light coverage, I just apply some Clinique airbrush concealer under my eyes and on any areas that need a bit more coverage, mascara, blusher and am good to go!

I cannot recommend more highly L'Oreal True Match minerals foundation powder. It is amazing, and has won lots of awards.
You simply dip the brush in, tap off the excess and sweep it over your face, it lasts all day and blends perfectly. Oh and it lasts ages so value for money too.

Thanks, the powder sounds easy, although I am thinking that something with SPF would be good. Does no 7 have it?

If you're looking for fast makeup Id recommend a compact foudnation with a sponge. Make sure you get a good colour match and then just dab on a bit where needed. The new Revlon PhotoReady compact is brilliant, really flattering, not too heavy

Id also buy a 2 in 1 blush/lip colour, again super fast and easy to keep in your bag for on the go.

On top of those 2 things all you'll need is mascara, although if your lashes are decent id just get them tinted. Usually costs less thana tenner and makes a huge difference imo
