Don’t think you have to spend hours primping in order to look fabulous — here are more tricks to help you look gorgeous in less than sixty seconds.
- Tired of tweezing your eyebrows? You can use a highlighting pencil to give your eyebrows a groomed look without the pinching and pulling. Draw a thin line under your brows to make them look defined and lifted.
- Make your eye color stand out — line the inner rims of your eyelids with a sapphire blue eyeliner. This will make the whites of your eyes look brighter and make the color of your eyes really stand out.
- Make your eyes stand out with a dab of white shadow on the inner corners. This will act like a mini-spotlight, drawing attention to your peepers.
- Skip the nylons (and the potential for runs) and wear a light mist of self-tanner under that skirt.
- Running late in the morning? Save seconds on your moisturizer or self-tanner and use your hair dryer’s cool setting to speed drying time.
- Skin products that include silicone can even out rough spots and reflect light to give you a gorgeous glow.
- If you mess up on your makeup, don’t wash off and start over — use a makeup sponge to wipe away mistakes or cover your slips with concealer.
- Avoid mascara clumps with this trick — wrap a tissue around your mascara wand and give it a gentle squeeze before you brush on the makeup.
- Want dramatic eyelashes without wearing false ones? Apply a coat of mascara, then dab a translucent loose powder over your lashes. (Use a cotton swab to apply powder.) Apply another layer of mascara for amazing, luxuriously thick lashes.
- Feeling washed out? Try a pale peach blush to add glow. A little bit will give a fresh, healthy glow to many different skin tones.
- Hair limp today? Try changing your part. This will force your hair to go against its natural growth pattern — instant lift and volume without using any styling products.
