Since I'm no longer a student and the reality of waking up before 6 everyday has finally kicked in, I'm usually in a hurry to get out my house in the mornings. So I thought I'd share my top makeup tips for those days when you've pressed the snooze button one too many times!
1. Bold lips and mascara - Giving your lashes a coat of mascara and wearing a bold lip will make you look put together when in reality you haven't put in much effort at all!
2. Using a white or nude eyeliner will make your eyes look bigger and more awake
3. Keep a small makeup bag at work or in your handbag. This way you can add any finishing touches at your desk. This one by Forever 21 is my current favourite (This bag contains my face - £3.50)
4. Listen to music! Not only will it help wake you up but it may also help with your time keeping. Give yourself say 2-3 songs to get ready to. I find this works better than giving myself 10 minutes which quickly turns into half an hour
5. Pick a struggle - I walk to work so is blush really a necessity? I can skip on that but my brows need to be on point
6. Want a quick smoky eye? Add some eyeliner and smudge it out
7. Use a makeup setting spray. It will help any powders that you've used melt into your face, making it look more natural and your makeup won't budge during end to end meetings
8. Keep your essentials in easy to find places. This saves you rummaging around in the morning, saving you a few precious minutes
9. Buy products that do more than one thing. For example, the Benefit Rollerlash Mascara curls and lengthens your lashes
10. Stick to what you know - Probably the one I've learnt the most over the last year. Avoid experimenting and save that intricate eye look for your Saturday night out, not first thing on a Monday morning!
