Working fulltime and trying to raise a family
does not leave much energy or time to worry
about one’s makeup. For professional females,
getting dolled up for work and play may have
become a thing of the past long ago. With just a
few spare moments, though, quick and easy beauty
tricks can refresh a woman’s look instantly.
For those playing double (or triple) roles as
corporate professional and wife and/or mother,
applying makeup before starting the day may be
the last thing on their minds. Check out the
following tips for a new beauty regimen in less
than five minutes!
Blemishes and dark spots
Even if you do not have enough time for anything
else, use a concealer stick, cover-up or powder
makeup to mask blemishes and dark circles under
your eyes. Concealing unsightly marks on one’s
face should take about one to two minutes if
only treating specific problem areas. Visine eye
drops may be applied to reduce redness of
blemishes before applying concealer.
Eyes
A single coat of mascara will only take about
one moment per eye, giving just enough
definition to lashes, bringing out your eyes. A
soft dusting of eye shadow in a complementary
shade to one’s choice of apparel will further
enhance the eyes. Putting on eye color should
take no more than a few seconds, though mascara
alone is a good substitute if time does not
permit eye shadow application.
Lips
For a soft, kissable look, slap some flavored or
tinted lip-gloss on your lips. Lipstick or lip
stain will draw more attention to your lips than
lip-gloss, but either product will make a
difference in the way you look and feel.
Hair
Invest in a few hairpins, clips and decorative
sticks. Some types of hair accessories allow
women to twist their hair up and pin it back,
all in about 30 seconds. Spray gel or non-sticky
hairspray may also come in handy in order to
preserve the style and to secure fly-aways.
Finally, splash on some body spray or perfume
and get ready to head out the door. By sparing
only five to seven minutes in the morning, your
new quick and easy makeup plan can be modified
to fit your own beauty sense while giving you a
simple foundation to effortless beautification.
