We all want to look fantastic when we leave the house in the morning – but life is hectic enough without having to stress about your daily beauty routine. Wouldn’t you rather hit the “snooze” button and get an extra hour of beauty sleep every day?
Rather than spending hours in front of a mirror, add one – or all – of these beauty shortcuts to your routine, and you’ll be looking flawless in less time than it takes to finish your morning latte.
1. Prep your hair the night before
Short on time for a blowout? Instead of waking up early just to tame your tresses, braid your hair the night before. In the morning, simply undo your braid, spritz your hair with dry shampoo if needed, and finger comb it a bit for sexy, tousled waves.
2. Get eyelash extensions
Anyone who’s ever tried eyelash extensions will tell you they’re amazing – and even if you can’t justify the hefty cost of upkeep, it’s one of those beauty treatments everyone should experience at least once.
The biggest benefit? Aside from making your eyes look fabulously flirty 24/7, extensions shave a huge chunk of time off your makeup routine. Simply top off your look with a bit of concealer, a swipe of bronzer, and a slick of Sublime Lips, and you’re good to go!
3. Don’t skip the moisturizer
We’re all guilty of skipping this step when we’re tired, short on time, or just having a lazy day. But gorgeous skin truly is the best accessory in the world.
Experiment with body oils, which are more effective at locking in moisture and can be applied in the shower. Save even more time with a double-duty body oil like Contour Sleek so you can fight cellulite, hydrate, and firm your skin all at once.
4. Fake a manicure
If you don’t have time for a full-on manicure, give your nails a quick onceover with a buffer for a natural, healthy sheen. We love the Revlon Crazy Shine nail buffer. Keep one in your desk and in each of your bags for a quick on-the-go manicure!
5. It’s called “beauty sleep” for a reason
It’s no secret that a lack of sleep takes a serious toll on your looks. Getting enough sleep each night is the simplest way to face the day looking refreshed and radiant.

6. Plan your outfit ahead of time
How frustrating is it when you’re running late and trying to figure out what to wear? Make your life a little easier by planning your outfit ahead of time.
Simply laying out your clothes beforehand, making sure everything’s clean, and checking for any holes or snags will save you time (and stress) when getting ready for work or that dinner date.
