Do you ever lie in bed waiting until the last possible second to get up? Maybe you’re a busy mom trying to get your kids to brush their teeth and off to the bus stop in time. Or maybe you stand in front of your closet thinking, “I have nothing to wear,” until you only have 15 minutes left to get ready.
More often than not, I hit “snooze” one too many times or I spend way too much time in my fantasy world of Pinterest. That usually leaves me with only 15 minutes to get ready–and still look polished–before walking out the door.
Here are my four tricks on looking flawless in 15 minutes or less:
1.Throw on all black.
It’s an easy base to start with that requires NO thinking. And its slimming effect is flattering on everyone. Play around with textures. You can add pops of color in your accessories and shoes.
Work
Going Out / Date Night
Casual
All 3 of these looks took 15 minutes or less.
2. Put your hair in a messy top knot/bun.
3 EASY STEPS
1. Secure hair in a high ponytail 2. Make a fishtail braid (Check out Fashion & Beauty Blogger Emily Gemma, The Sweetest Thing Blog, on creating a messy topknot. 3. Wrap hair around and then secure with a hair tie.
Give dry shampoo a try…you’ll love it! Dry shampoo is perfect for when you don’t have time to wash (and dry…and style) your hair.
My favorite is Tresemee Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo.
3. Keep your makeup simple.
Throw on your favorite lipstick, blush, and mascara (I’ve been wearing Younique’s 3D Fiber Lashes mascara and swear by it!).
4. Accessorize!
The possibilities are endless. Throw on your sunglasses, an oversized purse and jewelry. Grab your travel coffee mug and you’re ready to walk out the door!
