6 Morning beauty hacks for people who hate waking up early
Mornings are a painful thing. If getting out of a comfortable bed and facing the wrath of life is not bad enough, you also have to squeeze in 50 per cent of the day’s work in two hours. From making to-do lists, to making and eating breakfast, taking a shower, doing your make-up, picking something to wear and packing lunch — mornings can get overwhelming for many people. So, as folks who cannot do so much without our first morning cuppa, we thought some hacks need to be devised to make life easier. Hence, behold six morning beauty hacks, for those who hate waking up early as much as we do.
FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE YOUR CAT-EYE
1 TROUBLES GO AWAY
Getting that winged eyeliner in place every morning can be tricky for some women. However, there are some hacks to make life easier.
Use a felt-tip liner. It has the precision and angular look of a liquid liner, but is easy to use like a pencil liner. Use scotch tape or a post-it to keep the tip in shape.
Buy a concealer brush, so that cleaning up eyeliner mistakes becomes easier. This way, you can just dip it in concealer and sharpen messy edges.
2 MOISTURISE YOUR SKIN OVERNIGHT
Using a sheet mask and patting its essence into your skin, or trying a hydrating sleeping pack, followed by a night cream and serum, can save you time in the morning. This is because you need time to apply a moisturiser in the morning and wait for it to settle before starting your base. Instead, if your skin is well prepped with hydrating ingredients when you wake-up, you can just remove excess build-up with rosewater, and begin your make-up routine.
HAVE A DESIGNATED MINIMAL MAKE-UP
3 ROUTINE FOR EMERGENCIES
When you’re in a rush, you can’t afford to be confused about what make-up to put on. For such days, have a make-up routine in mind that is tailored for your basic needs and does the bare minimum. For some, it’s concealer for dark circles, filling in the brows and applying eyeliner. For others, it’s lip balm and mascara.
WASH AND STYLE YOUR HAIR THE
4 PREVIOUS NIGHT
If you have to wash, condition and blow dry your hair in the morning, you will be late. So, save time by changing your haircare time to the night before. Moreover, you can also style your hair overnight, by throwing damp locks into a high top knot or a braid, for lovely curls and waves the next morning. Remember to apply a product that will help your hair hold those curls.
KEEP BROAD-SPECTRUM PRODUCTS IN
5 YOUR BAG AT ALL TIMES
Products with multiple uses, like lip and cheek stains are a great way to cheat your way to flushed, fresh looking make-up. You can use this on your way to work, in the cab or the metro. Plus, keeping a BB cream in your beauty kit is also useful because it usually contains SPF and provides coverage.
6 INVEST IN A DRY SHAMPOO
A good dry shampoo controls oil-production on your scalp, making washing your hair optional. Use dry shampoo while your hair is relatively clean, so that the scalp stays that way. It won’t work on oiled, greasy hair.
