Your alarm is ringing, you’re snuggling comfortably in bed – you’re too tired.
oh.. just another 5 minutes of sleep pretty please. Snooze snooze..
CRAP! You’re left with 20 minutes to get dolled up and fly out of the house to head work!!!
I’m sure that happens to everyone at least once or twice in their whole lifetime.
Happens very frequently for me thou, always lack of sleep and just can’t bear to snap out from the warmth of my bed.
If you’re left with 20 minutes, your hair looks like crap but you have absolutely no time to wash + dry + blow + style it.. HOW?! What to do!!
Ok, for the make up part:
Your makeup base & sunblock is one of the most important product
you must have on no matter what!
Without any sun protection, your skin would burn within 10 minutes under the afternoon sun, so sunblock is essential to and protect your skin
from the harmful UV rays!
Your makeup base ensures that you have a smooth base before you apply your foundation, some makeup base have redness correcting, oil control properties
so you should not skip your makeup base, thankfully there are many such products that combines both makeup base and sunblock in one bottle,
so you can skip one step and save time!
I would recommend the Ettusais Base Version Up UV SPF 20 PA+ ($41)
it has light coverage to cover up little blemishes/redness,
sun protection of SPF 20 PA+ and creates a smooth canvas before you apply
your foundation!
Whenever I’m pressing for time i would prefer a powder foundation or 2-way cake instead of liquid foundation. Since with a liquid foundation and then you still have to set your liquid foundation with a transparent loose powder.
Skip one more step and save time!
After you’re done with your base, Apply bronzer to sculpt those cheekbones
and add warmth to your skin.
I’m using the SmashBox Bronze Light Duo & a fluffy kabuki brush.
Make this funny face and apply bronzer along this line to sculpt your cheeks
and add warmth to your skin, apply some on your jawline
and a wee bit on the bridge of your nose too.
Then apply a peach/pink blush on the apples of your cheek.
Draw your brows, even if you’re freshly crawling out of bed, tired as hell,
drawing your brows never fail to give you the “awake” look.
Draw your eyeliner to define your peeps, apply glue to your falsies, while waiting for the glue to dry (the glue gets stickier and easier to apply when the glue is left to dry for awhile)
apply your mascara on your lower lashes!
Apply a pinky tinted lip gloss, my current favourite is the nivea visage Pinkish Boost which has SPF 15, moisturize your lips while giving your pouts a cute pinkish tint!
For the hair:
Spritz some water/hair styling spray, i’m using the Kracie hair styling spray for bob/bouncy hair.
Flip your hair upside down and blow dry your hair outwards for more volume.
ALL DONE! this is my daily morning routine and i take 20 minutes to get out of the house!
