#5MinutesMore hair and make-up tips
Save time in the mornings with our Beauty Editor’s top tips:
- Prep lashes the night before. For longer, thicker and healthier lashes, condition them the night before with Vaseline. Stronger lashes means less time with the mascara brush the next morning!
- Keep a nail pen handy. If your nail polish bleeds into your cuticles, save time by neatening it up with a nail polish remover pen.
- Try a French twist. Don’t have time to blow-dry your hair? Simply pull it back into a ponytail and secure at the nape of your neck. Gently roll hair into a French twist and curl ends in and under, securing the pins as you go.. Voila, the perfect look to last all day!
- Invest in long-wearing make-up products. Skin primers (that you apply once in the mornings to a clean face), matte lip crayons and waterproof mascaras are make-up essentials for busy women who don’t have time to reapply make-up during the day.
