Some mornings can be a nightmare. You forget to set your alarm, kids play up, you have an emergency at the last minute. You want to look good without taking too much time with your morning routine when you are running late and short on time. You can look great in no time with these five beauty shortcuts.

Prepare your skin by using toner and moisturizer

To get rid of the sebum that has been produced over night, apply a toner prior to moisturiser. Toners remove any remaining dirt so your moisturiser will penetrate better. After your toner, a brightening moisturizer will give your skin that much-needed boost on those rushed mornings. Revitalift Crystal micro-essence by a lightweight facial skincare product with skin-brightening active ingredients such as Salicylic acid and Centella Asiatica. It penetrates deep into the skin to give it a radiant, glowing and youthful look.

Save time by using BB Creams

We love our BB Creams. They are multi-taskers, moisturising, protecting, and unifying skin tone. They can also be used as an alternative to skin-clogging foundations that are cakey and dehydrating. The BB Creams can be used as a base for makeup to even out the skin tone and give us a natural, well-moisturised glow. One dollop will hydrate and soften your skin.

Under-eye concealment and illumination

Conceal fatigue signs with concealer. This concealer will hide any dark circles or bags under the eyes. Use one that is a shade lighter than your own skin tone. A darker color will make the bags and circles worse. Then, gently massage puffy eyes to reduce their size. Concealer is also useful for hiding minor imperfections, such as blemishes and age spots. You only need a couple of minutes to restore your Bambi’s eyes and get flawless skin.

Make a distraction by using bold lips

You can do your lips if you don’t want to spend the time on your face. Bright, long-lasting lipstick can revive your appearance. People won’t see if you are looking a little bleary if your lips are the focus. For an instant glow, you can blend a small amount of the blush on your cheeks. Go easy, creepy clowns just aren’t cool. Keep it simple to enhance your lips and your complexion.

Dry shampoo is your new best friend

When you are late for work or school, washing, drying and straightening hair is not an option. Dry shampoos can be used to refresh dull hair. These shampoos are strong enough to tackle even the most greasy roots. Dry shampoos can add volume to fine hair, or limp, dry hair, without the need to backcomb.

Looking stunning doesn’t always take a lot time. Even though it may seem impossible to spend hours every morning on your beauty regime, these hacks can help you feel and look great.
