Which 10 minute tricks can you use to make your beauty routine go off without a hitch?  Lisa Xing gives you tips to get ready and look fabulous in no time at all.
These days, who has the time to spend hours in front of the mirror trying to decide which shade of lipstick looks the best with an outfit?  Speaking of which, who really has the time to spend even a few minutes sifting through a closet full of clothes?  Getting ready and looking pretty does not have to be such a tedious process, especially if you have to rush out to work at 7:30 in the morning.  There are shortcuts and there are little tricks that can help get you glowing before you even put on a spot of makeup.

Lay Out The Foundation

One of the most important things you can do to be able to get ready fast and look hot is be prepared.  One of the realities of being quick to get ready in the morning or when you’re going out at night is to plan in advance.  It’s all about taking a few minutes the night before to get organized.  If you know you’ll be rushed in the morning, then the best thing to do is shower in the evening.  Despite a shower doing wonders for waking you up in the morning, it will ultimately cut down the time you spend getting ready in the morning.  Just make sure you blow-dry your hair at night, so you don’t get weird kinks in it.  That way, all you have to do in the morning is comb it and use a few pins to style your hair.

Outfit Prep

Another quick trick to help you leave the house looking gorgeous is to lay out your entire outfit before you go to sleep.  Do whatever it takes:  check the weather online, consider your plans for the next day and choose accordingly.  If you choose your outfit the night before, you have the luxury of time.  By taking a few minutes to try on jeans, skirts, t-shirts or dresses, you’ll have no trouble getting out of the house as scheduled.  You could also try on matching shoes and make sure you don’t forget the accessories to go with it.  Then take another few minutes to lay out exactly what you’re going to wear in terms of makeup and literally set it out on your dresser in front of your mirror or in your bathroom.  This way, you have a little routine set out for you in the morning, so you don’t waste any time rifling through your makeup drawer.
