Makeupâs like that best friend who always hypes you up but sometimes takes forever to get ready. You love it, but you donât have all day to perfect your winged liner while the clock mocks you. Hereâs the good newsâyour routine doesnât have to be a never-ending saga. A few quick fixes, some unexpected tricks, and voilĂ ! Youâre walking out the door looking like you had all the time in the world.
đ Prime Like a Pro, but Faster
Forget slathering on layers of primer like a sculptor molding clay. She needs one thing: hydration. A dab of moisturizer with a drop of liquid highlighter? Instant glow. If sheâs feeling fancy, a spritz of setting spray before foundation locks everything inâlike an insurance policy for her face.
đ¨ Foundation That Doesnât Feel Like a Mask
Nobody wants to look like sheâs wearing a thick layer of paint. The trick? Mix foundation with a drop of serumâskin but better. Better yet, apply with fingers. It melts in like a dream and saves her from blending until her arm feels like she just finished a workout.
đ Eyes in a Flash
She doesnât need 12 steps to make her eyes pop. A creamy eyeshadow stick, smudged with a finger, does the job in five seconds. Mascara? Wiggle at the base, flick the wand up, and boomâinstant lift. And for the love of all things holy, skip the three-hour eyeliner perfectionism. A tiny flick with a pencil liner and a smudge brush works wonders.
đď¸ The Concealer Triangle is a Scam
Sheâs not painting war stripes. A small dot in the inner corner and one at the outer edge, blended upwards, gives an instant liftâno need to cake it on like sheâs frosting a cupcake.
đ¸ Brows: The Lazy Girlâs Guide
Brow pencils? Sure. But a tinted brow gel is the real MVP. She can swipe it on in five seconds, and it makes her look like she actually has her life together. Sparse brows? Tap a little eyeshadow in. Done.
đ Lips: The âI Woke Up Like Thisâ Trick
Lipstick should not be a high-maintenance situation. She dabs it on with her finger for a natural, lived-in look. No liner, no precision, no stress. Want plumper lips? A touch of gloss in the center makes magic happen.
âGood makeup doesnât take timeâit takes knowing where to cheat.â
đ Blush Over Bronzer, Always
Bronzer can turn into a muddy mess real fast. But blush? A touch on the cheeks, a dab on the nose, and sheâs instantly radiant. Bonus hack: use lipstick as blush in a pinch. Multi-tasking queens save time.
đ Stop Overpowdering!
Powder is that one friend who means well but overstays her welcome. Too much, and suddenly sheâs aged herself five years. A light dusting in the T-zone? Perfect. The rest of her face deserves to glow.
đ Nighttime: The Makeup Remover Shortcut
Sheâs exhausted, but she canât sleep in her makeup unless sheâs trying to summon a breakout. Cleansing balms dissolve everything in 30 seconds. If sheâs extra lazy, micellar water on a cotton pad will do in a pinch.
And just like that, sheâs conquered her makeup routine without sacrificing her morning coffee or her will to live. Because beauty should be fun, not a full-time job. đ
