But of course ;) I definitely approach makeup as I do transition.

I have full face "transition" down to 6 minutes: primer, liquid foundation, setting powder, contour & highlight, brows, lip colour, eye primer, daytime smoky eyeshadow, gel liner, waterproof setting spray, mascara.

The key (like any transition) is practice, practice, practice until it feels relaxed and smooth without wasted movements.

My advice: spend the money on really good makeup. It has more pigment/less water or talc so it goes on quickly & the way you want it the first time and every time, even when your skin is still sweaty. I swear by Urban Decay products.
