Top 10 Tips To Get A Quick Makeup: When you have no time to look presentable!
Make up is essential for women who want to look well groomed and elegant. However, sometimes it becomes difficult to spend much time on make up because of time constraint. When you need to look presentable in a short space of time, just before an appointment there are a few simple tricks to follow so that you look radiant. Here are a few simple tricks when you are rushed for time and still need to look presentable.
1. Get clean skin quick…
Lightly mist your face with water and dab gently with cotton or tissue any traces of oil to refresh make up. After this, dab on some loose powder for a fresh look.
2. Lighten locks instantly…
To give a new bounce of life to your hair which may be greasy and lifeless, sprinkle translucent powder on the hair roots and brush through thoroughly. This will instantly add the healthy lustrous look back to your hair when you have no time to wash.
3. Hydrate your skin in half the time…
Moisturize your body and hair at one go with conditioner by massaging while you shower. Simply rinse and dry off. This is more effective than waiting for body lotion to hydrate into the skin. You can also get an instant toned look by mixing liquid bronzer with body lotion which temporarily tightens up your skin.
4. Perfect your complexion…
Use a yellow based cover up to camouflage any pimples and redness. Use a concealer brush to apply and blend in the edges with your finger.
5. Go for contrasting lids and tips…
Let the colors used in the lids and nails contrast for that elegant look. If you want to simply have natural nails, then rub in lemon juice and massage with a thick cream into the cuticles for a healthy look.
6. Use pink to fake perfect skin…
If you have no time for concealers and foundations, then just apply pink to your lips. This color detracts the attention away from the blemishes on the face.
7. De-puff your do in a flash…
Dampen your hands with water and some lotion to run it gently through your frizzy hair. Slick back your hair into a French knot and leave for 10 minutes before untying it. The frizz is temporarily kept in check by a sleek look.
8. Score evening eyes in just one step…
Apply eyeliner as it is the quickest method of looking sexy and lively. Stroke on some mascara in layers for that smouldering look.
9. Pull it back with a ponytail…
You really have no time for a fussy hairdo so you resort to the age old quick style. Tie up your hair in a ponytail and spray some hairspray to hold in place. Take a strand of hair and wrap around the hairband and secure with a pin to create a carefully done up look.
10. Sweeten up your cheeks…
Finally, if you want to create the illusion of a well made up face, stroke on deep berry powder blush on the cheeks. Brush on blusher on the apple of your cheeks and sweep back towards the hairline in an upward stroke. Blend in gently and radiate.
