10 Minute Secret to Getting The Perfect Make-up

As the cliche goes, time is gold. For most women, getting one or two extra hours every morning to get ready for the office can seem like a miracle. 

It rarely happens. Fortunately, there’s actually no point in spending two full hours getting dolled up when you can look as glamorous in just ten minutes. 

Take a look at these essential steps and you’ll never look at your morning makeup routine the same way again:

Hair

Estimated time: 4 minutes

Amika Dry Shampoo

Washing your hair can really be time consuming. As a solution, you can opt for dry shampoo instead. Prior to its application, make sure you have combed and detangled your hair thoroughly. Use the dry shampoo close to the roots and do a rubbing motion to make sure it absorbs the oil and grease in your hair. 

As for styling, you can skip the use of heating devices this time. You can just pull your hair back into a ponytail. If you want to create a different look, you can try putting your hair in a braid or just let it hang loose if you prefer the natural look. 

Makeup

Estimated time: 6 minutes

Face

For a fresh and vibrant look in the morning, you can splash your face with cool water to revive your dull skin. Tinted moisturizers, like the BB creams, are your best options when you’re in a rush and you still want to look flawless.

Eyes

Instead of eye shadows, you can use shadow pencils. You can just glide it on your eyelids forming sharp lines or just smudge the color for extra drama. You can sweep some concealers on your dark under eyes and fill in your brows to make you more awake. 

As for mascara, choose brands with curling effects. It can give your lashes the length and flare they need to look more noticeable.

Cheeks

Add a hint of color to your face by swiping a bit of blush on the apples of your cheeks. Blend everything well to make you look naturally glowing.

Lips

Tinted lip balms are good alternatives if you want to skip the accuracy lipsticks need. You can even dab the color on your way out of the door or when you’re starting your car.

Life is meant to be lived and beauty is meant to be appreciated. Why waste too much time in front of your mirror?.
