Ladies, let’s face it. When someone asks you how long it’ll take you to get ready, we go through a long checklist in our head: hair? outfit? makeup? and we hate to admit it but at times it takes us awhile.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could snooze and sleep in a bit longer, or get ready in under 5 minutes and spend more of our time out with our friends or doing whatever it is we love? Or how about those days when we’re in a rush and we just want a quick and easy fix?

There are ways to have your makeup done in 2 minutes so you’ll be out of the door in a jiffy. But how, you ask? Let us share a few tips with you.

1. Face prep. After your cleansing routine, smooth on primer and liquid foundation. Press around you face and over areas that need a little more coverage. Liquid glides on easily and is a quick solution, you can even skip the concealer if you like.

2. Fill in your brows. Fuller eyebrows frame your face better and helps complete your look. Fill in the areas that are a little sparse only.

3. Curl those lashes. Apply mascara to your top and lower lash line, your eyes will instantly brighten and appear more open, making you look more awake.

4. Lipstick in a pink hue. Line your lips and apply a rosy hue to your lips. This will give you a natural flush and you may even skip the blush if you need to. You could choose any colour really, whichever suits your skin tone best.

Take a step back and you’ll be surprised that’s all you really need. A natural but enhanced look that will keep you looking fresh, apply powder throughout the day if you notice your face getting a little oily.

Off you go!
