Sona Gasparian, the makeup artist behind the Simply Sona YouTube channel, is known for her spot-on tutorials for DIY gorgeousness. But even she doesn't always have time to do a full face of makeup (who really has time for color-correcting, primer and contouring?). Her number one tip for getting ready in a hurry? Make your products do double duty. For example, wiggle your mascara wand (she loves the Almay One Coat Thickening Mascara) close to your top and bottom lash lines to fake a tight-lined look without smudging or flaking.
For more of Sona's time-saving hacks, check out the video above.
