Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen

The most important thing you will do in the morning is to put on sunscreen. If you don't have time to put on a single ounce of makeup, make sure you still somehow manage to get on a sunscreen of at least SPF 15. Sunscreen should always be worn under your foundation if your foundation does not have an SPF of at least 15. One problem I often run into when applying sunscreen under my foundation is that it makes it hard to apply the foundation as even and smooth. One solution to this is to buy a sunscreen by a makeup company that is specifically made to wear under foundation. My personal favorite is Clinique City Block, which comes in either SPF 25 or 40, and goes on very light and sheer and is very easy to apply makeup over. For those on a budget who do not want to spend $18 on a sunscreen, however, any drugstore brand of sunscreen works fine, my favorite being Nuetrogena. If using just normal sunscreen under your makeup, always make sure to wait at least 5 minutes before applying your foundation so the sunscreen has a chance to soak in and your foundation won't be as difficult to apply.
