Five Ways to Simplify Your Beauty Routine

Getting ready in the mornings can be the most stressful part of the day. One minute you were enjoying the warmth of your bed and then the alarm went off and you stumbled into the bathroom in mad rush. Well, below are a few tips I use when I'm tight on time in the AM. They help save time and bring a little sanity to my dash out the door.

#1
Set up an area on your vanity or bathroom counter to lay out your makeup and tools. They'll be easier to find than in an overstuffed bag.

#2
Choose big fluffy brushes to apply face powder and blush. They will deposit a sheer wash of color that's easier to blend.

#3
Don't use mascara on your lower lashes.
It often smudges and it will take more time to clean up.

#4
If you don't have time to wash your hair, spray the roots with hairspray- the alcohol in it will absorb excess oil.

#5
If you do have time to wash your hair, but not enough to let it dry, you can work in a golf-ball sized amount of mousse. The alcohol content will speed up the drying process.
