12 Quick Morning Beauty Fixes

We’ve all done it: you hit the snooze button one time too many, and the next thing you know, you’ve got five minutes to get to work and you look like a disgruntled yeti. What’s a girl to do?

Not to worry: here are twelve quick fixes for an overslept morning (or the occasional hangover):

1. Run a wet washcloth over your face for a “really, I just took a shower” glow.
2. Use a dry shampoo like Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo: they’re the miracle fix for making dirty hair look clean.
3. Spritz hair with water from a spray bottle to reactivate yesterday’s products if you don’t have time to shower. Adding more product will just look greasy.
4. Brush your lips.
5. Keep powder foundation on hand: it applies much faster than liquid and tends to have a glowy, awake-looking finish.
6. Try Jonathan Pocket Redo Wipes– they quickly clean gunk (and odor) out of hair for a fresh start that still dries quickly.
7. Wear fancy earrings: they’ll instantly dress you up and give the illusion that you actually took time to get ready.
8. Press mascara into the base of your lashes as you apply: it gives the illusion of eyeliner without the work.
9. Keep a lip gloss handy – apply in the morning and take it with you to reapply throughout the day.
10. Use blush on lids instead of eyeshadow: you’ll instantly look awake, plus you can speed through your routine without having to switch products.
11. Tie hair back in a low ponytail.
12. Brush brows up with your thumb and use a little hair gel or Vaseline to polish them up.
13. Follow the tips on quickly going from work to going out for more quick beauty fixes.
