Top 10 Commuter Friendly Beauty Tips

Achieving the look of polished perfection doesn't have to take hours. From the best multi-tasking beauty buys, to the perfect portable application techniques, find out how you can elevate your look and give yourself a polished look in a short time.

From early-morning commutes to late nights spent in the office, keeping your well-kept look while out and about can be a struggle. But a streamlined routine can cut down on application times. Catch up on these smart beauty tips.

Detangle in the shower: To save styling time, keep a large-toothed comb in the shower to smooth out your hair while running conditioner through it. For an ultra-pampering experience, reach for a herbal Conditioner.

 

Invest in a high-powered blow dryer. A top-notch blow dryer can increase the health and vitality of your hair, plus drastically reduces the amount of time you spend in front of the mirror. The blow dryer's salon quality motor works to reduce dry times by up to 70%, while ceramic and tourmaline parts reduce heat exposure - for rapid results and silky smooth strands.

 

Get a 3-in-1 cream. Use one, do-it-all product- moisturizer, foundation and a sun block. That way, you can hydrate, sunblock and get the anti-aging benefits of antioxidants all at once. The result would be a more radiant and luminous skin, in one fuss-free step.

Opt for a Lightweight coverage: Select a sheer-formula foundation which boasts 16-hour coverage. If you're short on time, forgo the use of a foundation brush and instead, use your fingers to apply the product. It gets your makeup done much more quickly than if you had to go through all the motions of finding and using all those individual brushes and sponges. To effectively reduce application time choose quick-setting Concealer onto problem areas - and step away to style your hair or eat a quick breakfast. This will give the concealer time to melt into your skin more smoothly and to set, so you won't have to use as much makeup over it.

 

Apply a creme blush to the apples of your cheeks. For the best application, smile big and apply the blush from the apples blending up towards your temples. Peaches and pinks are the hottest colors this season. Opt for blush that has a hint of shimmer for a light reflecting glow!

Focus on the three E's when it comes to eyes- Eyebrows, eyeliner and eyelashes. Start by grooming brows and filling in sparse spots and perfecting natural hairs. Next, line your upper lash line with a black or brown pencil, and generously coat lashes, for clump-free volume and length. If you have dark, under eye circles, add a dab of concealer under the eyes and blend well.

 

Give your lips a boost. Finish off your minimal makeup with a swipe of color on your lips. Avoid caking and creasing with an all-day liquid lipstick such as Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick, whose revolutionary formula will withstand the most grueling of commutes.

 

Polished Nails: Never ignore your nails while considering morning beauty routine. Check your nails for the perfection of nail polish. You can also try some easy nail art that may need only five minutes. If you prefer short nails, make sure it is cut neatly.

 

Choose a hairstyle that suits your costume. Just a simple ponytail or a braid will be enough, if you are having a bad hair day.

A light fragrance. When wearing scents to work, use a feather-light touch, since you might have co-workers with sensitivities to perfume. Instead of spraying yourself from head to toe, try a scented body oil, which will play double duty and protect your skin from becoming parched.

Early morning commutes and pre-dawn wake-up calls can make maintaining your chic look a challenge - but you don't have to sacrifice your style to tight time constraints. Using the streamlined routine laid here, to slice valuable minutes from your regimen - making sure you arrive at your destination with ample time to spare.
