A number of companies now make moisturizers that are creamy enough to double as foundation. You will need to find a thick moisturizer to support powder and eye shadow. This will help you save time on foundation while keeping hydration part of your morning routine. Commonly people forego hydration because the lotions take so long to absorb. Thick, non-oily moisturizers absorb quickly and support makeup.

You might feel that you need foundation to help even out your skin tone. Try a mineral powder over the moisturizer or a combination foundation/moisturizer like Olay’s Definity Color Recapture.
