5 Beauty Tips for Busy Mornings
On busy weekday mornings, it can seem impossible to take the steps you need to take in order to look and feel your best. Complicated skincare and multi-step makeup routines might be out of the question for you when getting ready for work, which can result in you lacking confidence throughout the day. While it’s true that no one needs an extravagant hair or makeup routine to look beautiful, taking the time to complete the ritual of getting ready can be a means of self-care, and, let’s be honest, when you look good, you feel good. Whether you’re working as a school teacher or doing medical transcriptions for a company like Provider’s Choice Scribe Services, it is likely that the hours you’re working require at least a few rushed mornings each week. Here are some ways to simplify your morning beauty routine, so you can look good and make it out the door in time.
Consider Cosmetic Services That Replace Makeup
Services like lash extensions or eyebrow tinting can be pricey, but if filling in your brows or applying mascara are necessary steps in your makeup routine, having these services done can be worth it as they will replace the need for these makeup products and save you time in the morning. The fewer products you need to apply, the more time you will save!
Use Multipurpose Products
Using products that serve more than one necessary purpose can save you time (and money). A moisturizing primer does the job of two important things, hydrating your skin and giving the rest of your makeup staying power. Tinted moisturizer can give you a boost of hydration and replace foundation.
Use Overnight Hair Tools
To cut down on styling time in the morning, use a tool that will style or set your hair overnight. For overnight curls, try putting your hair in rollers or a heatless curling device before bed. If your hair is straight or already in the style you desire, put it in a silk bonnet or low ponytail to protect it while you sleep. All you will need to do is take out the tool and give your hair a quick brush in the morning, and you’ll be ready to go!
Make a Plan
As you are getting ready for bed each night, have a vision in mind of your look for the following day, and make a plan for how to achieve it. This will give you an idea of exactly how much time you will need so that you can wake up accordingly.
Take Your Routine on the Go
If you commute via public transportation or a carpool, or you have downtime once you get to the office in the morning, consider packing a few products to take with you. Getting ready on the way or once you are at work is a great way to maximize your time and ensure you can do everything you need.
Choosing the right products and tools and creating a plan for their application before you even go to bed will set you up for success on a busy morning when you have very little time to get ready. No matter how much time you have, these tips will save you some time and stress.
