10 Minutes to Gorgeousness!

Don’t have an hour to spend pampering your nails? Do you apply your makeup on the go? A morning shower just wasn’t on the schedule?

Try these 10 instant-gratification beauty to look fab on those days when you’ve only got a minute to spare.

1. Shine Them Strands – When you hair needs a quick fix, spray and liquid serums add an instant shine. They also help to tame the frizzies and eliminate static electricity. Leave the electrocuted look to Mrs. Frankenstein.  
2. Curl Your Lashes – A little curl goes a long way. Have you ever noticed what a dramatic difference curling your lashes can do to your appearance? For curl staying power, apply mascara after curling your lashes.
3. Add Some Pretty To Your Pout - They may take a bit longer to apply than lipstick or gloss, but lip stains keep your pout looking rosy for hours (even through eating and drinking) and can easily make up for the lack of other makeup.
4. Get that Faux Glow - Bronzer is possibly the best secret beauty weapon to come around in years: It gives anyone an instant healthy glow. Stay away from those with shimmer, though, because they can make you look over shimmery and may also add an orangey glow (think Willy Wonka’s Oompa Loompa's).
5. Give Yourself a Quick Mani - Right after you get out of the shower, gently push your cuticles back using a hand towel. Then paint your dry nails with clear polish.Natural is in, right?
6. Buns Can Be Fun – Hair buns, that is. (What were you thinking???) When you don’t have time to mess with your hair and don’t want to wear a ponytail, then create a ballerina bun.
7. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - The one-minute way to fake 10 hours of sleep: Take a flesh-colored eye pencil and use it to trace inside your lower lashline, covering up the area that normally looks pink. Then use a pale, shimmery eyeshadow or pencil in more of a whitish hue to make a little “V” at the innermost corner of each eye; this deflects from dark circles and draws light into the entire eye area, leaving you looking alert and bright-eyed.
8. Prime It Up! – Primers are not just for under foundations anymore. Try using it with just a little translucent powder. If you have acne or problem skin, try a primer with a greenish hue to combat those problems.
9. Fake the Flush – Working out can give you that nice rosy cheek complexion, but if you missed your date at the gym don’t fret. Apply a peachy blush and fake the workout.
10. VA VA VA OOMPH – When you are in that morning rush and don’t have time to curl or flat-iron your hair, but still want some style then just add some OOMPH to your hair. Flip your head upside down and blow dry your roots for about a minute then mist with light-hold hairspray. This will add volume to your hair and fake out the "I didn’t have time to take a shower yet” moments.
