3 Makeup Tips To Try When You’re Running Late

For many women, wearing at least a small amount of makeup can help amplify their natural beauty and make them feel more confident. Especially if you’re going somewhere special or are headed to an event or occasion, dressing yourself with some makeup can really take your look up a notch.

 

However, really doing your makeup well can take time. But in some instances, you might not have any time to spare. So to help you still look and feel your best even when you can’t spend a decent amount of time on your makeup, here are three makeup tips to try when you’re running late.

 

Think About Your Skin First

 

Before you even start putting any makeup on as you’re running out the door, Alison Lynch, a contributor to Good Housekeeping, recommends that you think about your skin first and your makeup second. When you have flawless skin, you won’t have to use as much makeup to have it appear like you have flawless skin.

 

Because of this, if you really only have time to do one thing before you leave home in the morning, Lynch shares that you should wash and moisturize your skin. By doing this, you’ll ensure that you’ll at least look fresh and clean for your day out rather than like you just woke up, even if that’s literally what you just did.

 

Make Mascara Your Priority

 

When you have an extra second to apply a tiny bit of makeup on your face, it’s good to know where your priorities should be with what to put on first.

 

According to Phoebe Waller, a contributor to Bustle, if you only have time to put on one product, that product should be mascara. With a few quick layers of mascara on your eyelashes, you can look much more vibrant and awake, which is a look many women strive to get with their entire makeup routine.

 

What’s great about mascara is you can apply it literally anywhere, even when you’re in your car. Just make sure that you’re not trying to drive while applying your mascara, as you could easily become distracted and end up in a car accident, which will have you running even more behind than you already are.

 

Buy Products With Multiple Uses

 

To give yourself a little color in just a quick moment, Hana Hong, a contributor to Reader’s Digest, advises that you invest in products that have multiple uses. For example, you can get a product that is a lipstick, blush, and eye shadow all in one.

 

By getting a product like this, you can apply color to the most important parts of your face by just grabbing one product from your makeup bag.

 

If you find yourself running late but still want to look great, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you apply some quick makeup on the run.
