1. A Maybelline Dark Circles Treatment Concealer with a built-in felt applicator so you don't have to whip out a brush. It'll actually erase all evidence of the fact that you went to bed at 4 a.m. (but unfortunately, it does not get rid of tiredness).
2. A tube of Glossier Boy Brow for getting that my-brows-but-better look in just a few swipes — it's so much easier to use than a pencil or powder.
3. A refreshing Mario Badescu facial spray with aloe, cucumber, and green tea to double as a toner for anyone who hates applying toner with cotton pads. Just a few spritzes of this and you're done.
4. A tube of clump-free Vivienne Sabó Cabaret Première mascara with a small, easy-to-use wand (read: it won't poke you in the eye) that'll lengthen and curl your lashes. The lash curler can, thankfully, stay in the drawers.
5. An eyeliner stamp so getting perfectly matching wings doesn't take, like, an hour.
6. A pack of Mighty Patch pimple patches for absorbing giant zits overnight so you don't have to deal with them in the morning.
7. A tube of L'Oreal True Match Lumi Glotion to wear alone, under makeup, or mixed into your foundation for a ~natural~ glow — you can skip the highlighter.
8. A Stila One Step tinted serum and moisturizer that'll do the job of several products — it primes, color-corrects, brightens, *and* nourishes your skin so you would be essentially good to go after one layer of this.
9. A waterproof Julep Crème 101 Eyeshadow Stick you can actually apply with one hand (there's even a spongy smudger on one end for blending) — anything to avoid fussing with a palette and applicator at 7 a.m. in the morning.
10. Coty Airspun loose face power for giving your makeup a flawless finish (even if you only spent five minutes on it).
11. A pack of body wipes to get rid of sweat and odors in a pinch (the pinch being you only have 15 minutes to get ready and a shower is out of the question).
12. A NYX matte lipstick in classic red that'll look absolutely amazing whether you're rocking a dramatic makeup look or a bare face.
13. A canister of Batiste dry shampoo so you can transform third-day hair into first-day hair without actually having to wash, condition, and dry it.
14. A Maybelline Baby Lips tinted lip balm for a sheer layer of color that's impossible to mess up. You could even apply it as you head out the door.
15. Fenty Beauty Match Stix Trio to make contouring and highlighting a little less daunting so you might consider giving it a go. The results are absolutely worth👏 it👏.
16. A tube of Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream with a lightweight formula that'll even out your skin tone and leave your complexion looking fresh and dewy. It even has SPF 30 so that's one less thing to worry about when you're running late.
17. A John Frieda hot air brush so you can get a professional-looking blowout with minimal time and effort (for the days that your hair is not in a messy bun).
18. And a stretchy headband for looking put together on days you don't feel like styling your hair (everyday, tbh). Bonus: it's made out of a soft cloth, so it won't give you a headache after a couple of hours.
19. An Olay color-correcting eye cream (with a dash of concealer) to brighten and moisturize the under-eye area. It's perfect for looking a little more awake on your no-makeup days.
20. A lightweight CeraVe face moisturizer with SPF 30 because why apply two layers of products when you can combine them into one?! (Remembering to apply sunscreen in your groggy state is simply too much to ask!)
21. An Undone Beauty Lip to Cheek 3-in-1 Cream (formulated with coconut extract) so you can streamline your makeup products and only have a handful of items to choose from. Less products = less digging = time saved.
22. A jar of Vichy Aqualia Thermal Night Spa — an overnight mask with hyaluronic acid to soothe and hydrate your tired ol' face after a long night of karaoke. You'll look so fresh in the a.m., you can actually say, "I woke up like this!"
23. A Milani 2-in-1 concealer + foundation to give you all the coverage you want in *one* glorious product. Heck, it just shaved three minutes off your makeup routine.
24. A microfiber towel that can help cut down drying time so you'll be ready and out the door faster.
