Here are some beauty tips for easily achievable looks that will shave minutes off mom’s morning routine
All-In-One
Pamper, prep and protect your skin with an all-in-one product. Urban Decay Naked Skin One & Done Complexion Perfector is worth the hype, covers all your basic skin needs from good nourishing ingredients to light coverage that evens out the complexion, finished off with essential sunscreen (SPF 20) to protect against sun damage. Forgo a full mask of foundation and even out the skin’s texture with One & Done. Use a concealer after to blur any imperfections on your skin and cover dark circles under the eyes, then blend and soften any edges with your fingertips.

Curl Your Lashes
It might seem like a waste of precious time, but this is one of the best and fastest ways to
get yourself looking wide awake, especially when you don’t feel it. With a little practise, it takes moments to quickly curl your lashes before you apply mascara. Look down, open the curler and slowly move your lashes in between the rubber strips.
Check that you don’t have any skin caught before clamping down, applying light pressure on to the lashes.

Blusher Is Your Best Friend
Add a pop of colour to your cheeks with a cream blusher – it’s sure to give life to tired and dull complexions. Start by smiling to reveal the balls of your cheeks and target your application there, using your fingers to dab and blend. Go for flattering peach on fair skin or a rich berry stain on darker tones.

Long-Wear Lippy
Go for a long-wear matt lip colour that doesn’t require frequent touch-ups during the day. Something that has a built-in moisturiser to prevent the lip area drying out such as

Definition In A Flash
Your aim is to achieve definition to the eye area quickly and easily using just one product. There are two options here: an eye pencil swept across the lash line and blended with a brush, or a slick of cream eyeshadow across the lid. By choosing a complementary colour for your eyes, you will get the added benefit of enhancing your eye colour at the same time.
