Lip sticks are available is millions of shades. The perfect shade is one that meld with your facial skin color and tone. This lipstick does not only have to be used on the lips. For the fastest makeup routine of all time, use your favorite lipstick on your entire face.

The eyes are the perfect place to start. Using a fingertip, dab a little of the lipstick on the lids of the eyes. Blend the color into the lid, making sure to blend well. For added effect, try dabbing the lipstick onto only the outer edges of the eye lid.

The cheeks can use a little color, as well. As a part of your quick and easy makeup routine, using the same finger, dab a little lipstick onto the apples of the cheeks and blend. You may have to apply more lipstick on other parts of the cheek to ensure proper blending, but the effect is nothing less than gorgeous.

Finally, it is time for the lips. Your lipstick returns to its home with a careful application to the lips. Depending on the time of day, you may want to only apply a little lipstick with your fingertip, highlighting the lips natural color.

For those morning when you are sure you will never be able to apply one drop of makeup, grab that lipstick in your favorite shade and head out.
