Quick Fix make up for on the go Glam!

Morning make up is always a chore when you're a busy bee so I'm lucky after all these years I can slap it on in seconds.....

For those of you who need a little practice at mastering make up in minutes, hopefully some of these tips will help get you started!

Maintenance is key to keeping the make up timescale to a minimum so make sure you spend 2 minutes a day to keep the following tip top....

  • Hydrate skin  - moisturise daily to keep a smooth skin. If you use a moisturiser with a little self tan you can cut down valuable time by ditching your foundation.
  • Keep brows well groomed - it is amazing how much a great brow shapes your whole face so keep on top of the strays on a daily basis, it literally takes seconds
  • Prep your pout - regular application of lip balm will keep lips soft and smooth so keep a chapstick in your pocket and sweep it on every few hours
Once you've got a good base, the rest can easily follow..... Here are 5 quick steps to make yourself up in minutes.

1. Brush brows into place with a bit of hairspray
2. Use a plumping mascara that only need 1 quick coat and only apply to the top lashes
3. Suck in your cheeks and rub in a cheek stain, it will last all day and put life into your look
4. Dab a matte concealer over blemishes, it will dry into skin so you don't need powder to set
5. Slide a satin lippy or a coloured gloss over your lips. For a wow look red is always a winner.

If you are stuck for what products to use, see below for some suggestions you can pick up from most supermarkets or save time and buy online with the links I've added......
