Did you not quite make it in the shower this morning? Try these quick beauty tips to get you out the door in 10 minutes or less while still looking like you got up early and took your time getting ready. The trick is knowing where to put your quick effort to make it look like you’ve created an amazing all over beauty treatment.
Minute 1: Hold a hot washcloth over your face and breathe deep to wake up your senses, your tired eyes and your sleepy skin.
Minutes 2 – 3: Apply tinted moisturizer to your entire face including your eyes. Now you’ve got moisture and instant color. Use concealer where you need it and don’t be shy. Your base is more important than ever when you’re getting ready quickly. Dust your T-zone, including your eyes, and the center of your neck and chest with bronzing powder.
Minute 4: Line your top eyelids with liner and add mascara to your lashes.
Minute 5: Go bold with your lip color. Line lips and fill-in with liner. Blend lipstick and apply gloss to the center of your top and bottom lips. Dust your face with loose powder to set your makeup.
Minutes 6 – 10: If your hair is tamable with just a brush, you’re on your way. If not, remember to plug-in hot rollers at minute 1 and now quickly put them in place. Curls make hair styling faster. So does teasing, so go for it! Pull curled, teased or straightened hair into a pony and spray the back to add volume, or knot the back and tuck in loose ends with bobby pins. Another quick trick is to tie a scarf or large headband in the front to hide unmanageable bangs.
You’re out the door in 10 minutes or less and looking like you spent all morning getting ready. Now, if you could only get the kids to cooperate!
