I have to admit, I'm one of those girls who would rather have an extra 20 minutes sleep in the morning, so over the years I've come up with some super easy, quick and fuss free tips that make getting ready in the morning slightly easier. I've collected these tips from personal experience and from reading magazines, blogs and talking to friends over the years, and I thought it was time to pass some of these tips over to you.
1. Blast your hair dryer on your eyelash curlers - this helps to keep your lashes curlier for longer, the same principle as your curling wand. Only heat them up for about 5 seconds and make sure they are not to hot before use, hold the hair dyer a reasonable distance away, not too close!
2. Do your hair whilst doing your makeup? - spray your hair in the morning with a sea salt spray and put your hair into plait/braid and then do your makeup, by the time you've finished making yourself look beautiful, your hair will be dry and have naturally wavy curls through it and no heat is needed!
3. Hairspray for brows- in a rush? Spray a small amount of hairspray on your spooly and brush through your brows. No unruly brows throughout out the day.
4. Highlight those lids- when I'm in a rush, I have no time to use eyeshadow, so I quickly use my finger to apply my highlighter on my lids. Adds a light shimmer and makes it look like I've made an effort.
5. Bronze that crease- I think everyone has done this, quickly through on some bronzer in the crease for a natural defined eye.
6. Hangover fix- if you're suffering from a hangover, first of have big glass of water, you're body will be very dehydrated and so will your skin. Stick to a dewy or satin finish foundation. It will make you look a lot more awake and hide that dull, dry skin.
7. No more orange knees or ankles- before applying your favourite tan, make sure your fully exfoliated! Then add a 'barrier' on troublesome spots. Use a regular moisturiser, on your knees, elbows, wrists, hand and ankles.
8. No more eyeliner transfer- before you apply eyeliner, gently wipe your upper and lower water line to remove any access oil, it will help to prevent your black tightline liner transferring on to your nude liner and your lower waterline.
9. No pain thresh hold? - before plucking your eyebrows get a face cloth and wet it with hot water, and place on your eyebrow before plucking. It will open the pores and reduce the pain. Don't burn yourself, not too hot.
10. Perfect winged liner- put tape by your eye and trace along. A lot of people use this for eyeshadow as well, but it works a treat for liner too!
So those are some of my tips, I'll do another post with some more soon!
What are your best tips?
