5 of my go to beauty hacks

Being a girl gets tough sometimes… always trying to look our best and crumbling under the pressure of social media.  I know that sometimes getting ready can take a lot longer than it needs to, especially when you’re in a rush.  I know I am constantly in a rush to get ready on time for my lectures.   So, here are 5 of my go to beauty hacks that make it just that little bit quicker to get ready, or just help me to look good for less effort.

1- Skip foundation… just use concealer

When you’re in a rush to get ready, just use some concealer on all the areas you need it and focus it in the centre of the face.  This is so much quicker than applying foundation, and once you’ve applied it you’ll realise that you didn’t actually need foundation anyway.

2- Curl hair in a ponytail

I’m sure a lot of you girls have wanted curly hair but haven’t had the effort or time to do it.  Well, problem solved… just put your hair up into a loose, high ponytail and use either a curler or straighteners to curl the hair and when you take it down, your h=whole hair will be nicely curled with half the effort.

3- Use bronzer to look more awake

I know the struggle of getting up early and looking half asleep still, even when I have been awake for a while.  I have found the great solution for making yourself look more awake and glowy.  All you have to do is take some bronzer, preferably with a bit of a sheen, and apply to the perimeter of your face and slightly over your nose.

4- Baby powder as dry shampoo

We’ve all had those days when we’ve woken up with extremely greasy hair and not enough time to wash it.  While with a little help from some baby powder, you can easily freshen up your hair, and it is a lot cheaper than dry shampoo and will last longer, so win win.

5- Brow gel is a girls best friend!

For me personally, if I don’t do my eyebrows then i feel as though my makeup is not complete.  However, I sometimes don’t have the time to do them properly, so what I find makes a massive difference is brushing through them with a tinted brow gel to make them much fuller and to slightly tint them.
