We’ve all been in this familiar—we're short on time and we need one or two key beauty products that yield results in a flash with minimum effort.

First, we recommend getting some one-on-one time in with a moisturising powerhouse sheet mask. With a good skincare base, there's less need for a crowded makeup routine to colour correct your complexion or brighten the appearance of skin.

Next, you'll want to reach for makeup duo that will streamline the number of products and possibly take minutes off your makeup routine.

Here are five fuss-free beauty products local influencers turn to to deliver quick desired results.
