Some days you just need to hit that snooze button one extra time. (Or maybe a couple extra times.) We get it. But you still want to get out the door looking your best. When you're in a hurry and need to do your hair and makeup fast, we have a few key tips that can help you get the job done quickly and still looking good.
Tips for Quick Hair On-The-Go
Perk up limp locks with a dry shampoo.
No time for a wash? A quick spritz of dry shampoo will revive your hair, soak up oils and add volume, delaying the need to wash and blow dry your hair for another day.
Pull it back.
Make a sleek ponytail by gathering your hair at the nape of your neck, or up high depending on your preference, and secure with an elastic. Smooth down any flyaway hairs with a drop of hair serum or gel.
Create a messy bun.
Twist your hair into a loose bun and secure with an elastic and some bobby pins. Pull out a few strands to create a messy, effortless look. For more details, check out our messy bun tutorial here.
Use a hairband or headband.
This is the simplest hack of all. Comb hair back, slide on a hairband and – Voila! You’re coiffed and ready to go.
Remember, the key to quick hair styling is to keep it simple and stick to what you know works for your hair type and length.
Tips for Quick Makeup On-The-Go
Stick to the basics.
When you're short on time, keep your makeup simple. Use concealer to cover any spots or blemishes, a light foundation if needed, a bit of mascara, and a quick sweep of blush to create a natural, fresh, easy look.
Invest in multi-taskers.
When you’re running low on time, multi-task makeup products are your best friend. For instance, tinted moisturizer can provide hydration, sunscreen and give the coverage of a light foundation. This will give you a natural, glowing look without the need for a bunch of products and applying multiple layers.
Blend everything with a makeup sponge.
If you want to apply your makeup quickly and flawlessly, a beauty sponge is a must-have tool. The sponge will help you blend foundation, concealer, and all your makeup seamlessly, efficiently and quickly!
Keep an "on-the-go kit".
In a small pouch, keep some sample sizes of products that you use regularly, such as a powder compact, mascara, lipstick and mini hairbrush to be ready whenever you need it. Then if you just couldn’t quite manage to get all your hair and makeup together before leaving the house, you can touch up later.
Incorporate these quick and easy hair and makeup tips into your routine and you'll be able to look flawless and pulled together every day, no matter how rushed you are.
