In a perfect world, we'd have as much time as we needed to primp, pamper and preen. But it always seems hard to set aside quality time to get ready. That's why it's important to make the most of the minutes you do have. Take a look at these five-minute beauty tips to help you always put your best face forward!
1. Tackle flyaways. When you have only a few minutes to freshen up between meetings, a complete overhaul of your up-do isn't an option. To keep buns, twists and ponies looking polished, lightly brush your unruly hairs with a toothbrush. For added staying power, spritz your brush with a light hair spray first.
2. Rethink your foundation. A high-quality foundation really helps to smooth out your
skin tone, but the primers, the application and the setting powders make for a pretty time-consuming process. If you're on a tight schedule, try replacing your regular foundation routine with an SPF moisturizer like H2V Protect and a spot concealer. Not only will you give your pores a break from heavy foundations, you'll also protect your cells from aging.
3. Prioritize your products. There's something to be said for an expertly executed smoky eye, but not every day comes gift-wrapped with enough free time for you to spend an hour on black eye shadow and liquid eyeliner. To look fresh-faced in under five minutes, you need to learn to prioritize. Try a simple routine that includes a high-quality mascara, lip stain and light blush. These three products can be applied quickly, and they'll provide just enough contrast to make your best features “pop.”
