5 minutes Beauty Fanatic

Do you also apply makeup 10 minutes before rushing out of the door? Since I am in a makeup mess on a daily basis, it’s no surprise that I have my own arsenal to get out of any makeup disaster. And I am sure these tips will make any makeup disaster vanish within few minutes.

Puffy eyes

 Lie down and place cold cotton balls or a chilled gel eye mask over closed eyes for 10 minutes. This will drain accumulated fluids and reduce swelling.

Dark Circles

 For undereye circles, use a creamy emollient concealer. The skin under your eyes is thinner, and it has fewer oil-producing glands. So you need a moisturizing cover-up to make it go on smoothly and adhere well. The wrong formulation will dry and accentuate lines, so to help concealer go on smoothly and evenly, apply an eye cream first with your finger. (Don't use a gel formula, which can leave a sticky surface.) Next, apply a thin layer of concealer over the entire undereye area, using a concealer brush. Apply a second coat to lighten the darkness. Concentrate on the darkest part (often the inner corner to the middle of the eye), and blend it up into the lash line. To keep concealer from slipping into the crevices of skin, set it with powder before starting on the other eye.

Blemishes and Breakouts

When a pimple appears, place an ice pack on it for 5 to 10 minutes to reduce swelling, then pat the area dry and apply benzoyl peroxide cream or gel with a clean cotton swab. For blemishes and small spots, rely on sticky concealers, which come in compacts or tubes. For larger blotches or redness around the nose, use more watery liquid concealers (commonly sold in tubes), or try foundation. Both are easy to spread.  For pimples, Remove any flakes with a wet washcloth. Next, dab a medicated acne treatment on the pimple.

Smudged Eye Makeup

Mascara is a girl's best friend, but it can easily turn into her worst enemy after a few hours of dancing! No one wants to look like a raccoon on her special night, so be sure to pack a good concealer and a few makeup wipes. Carefully wipe mascara runs clean, then do a quick cover-up under your eyes with concealer and you're good to go!

Running Out of Lipstick

Cream or powder blush dabbed on lips with a finger creates a soft, sensual look. For a creamier texture, top blush with clear gloss or a lip balm. This works in reverse, too: Use lipstick as blush. Keep in mind that lipstick has much more pigment than blush. To avoid going overboard, start with a tiny dab, then gradually increase the color. Add a bit of moisturizer to blend it in.

Hopefully you are now ready to face any emergency makeup disaster head on with these tips. Make an emergency makeup kit and keep it with you so you're ready and prepared at all times. I'd love to know if you any emergency makeup fix to add.

9 Quick Tips for the Lazy Girl’s

Gone are the days when unkempt eyebrows and rough hair were defined as ‘Beautiful’. Today Girl’s are more concerned about their makeup rather than themselves. But are you too lethargic to have anything that even slightly resembles a beauty routine? Are you the one who is too lazy to get up in the morning?  I’ve got your back, lazy girls. Here are the 9 best grooming tips for every lazy girl out there.

1. Use wipes

Celebrity Makeup artists suggest using towelette to prevent irritation. You can use wet wipes to moisturize your face, to remove make up or to remove dead skin. If you are too lazy to wash your face with cold water in winters, you must stock up with these wipes.

2. Braided hair

For all those curly haired beauties, battling with your hair every morning is a tedious task. To avoid this, comb your hair every night before you go to bed. Tie it into tight braids to avoid the tangles. Simply loosen the braids the next day, apply some mousse and get gorgeous with those manageable natural waves.

3. Use your fingers

Sometimes your fingers do better wonders than your brush. When you use your fingers, you have a clear idea about the amount of product you are applying on our face. If you are able to gel the moisturizer well on your face with your fingers, it will give a natural look.

4. Multi purposed products

Many existing products can be used in a different way. For example, you can use hair gel to get tamed eyebrows. Kajal can be used as eye pencil also. You can brighten your lips and cheeks by applying lip balm on both.

5. Use beauty blemishes cream

A good BB cream will work as anti ageing moisturizer and SPF.  Investing in a BB cream is a pocket friendly offer. World’s best dermatologists and skin experts have said that BB creams saves time. You can just apply it on our face and You are good to go.

6. Press on nails

In today’s busy world, no one has even time to get nail art done. Therefore, buying nail extensions is no less than a fashion statement these days. Using press on nails is better than trying to apply nail paint on nails for hours.

7. Go for a good perfume

Using a perfume is one grooming step that often falls by the wayside when we're rushing out the door. You necessarily don’t have to use sweet vanilla or musky wood notes; these days you can even find your favorite high-end fragrance offered in deodorants.

8. Have eye pencil

Jazzing up your eyes is easier than you think. "If you have an eye pencil you can define your eye shape, create a sultry smoky eye, and intensify your eye color," says Turnbow. Super-sized liners will even save you the smudging step. Plus, there's no need for cleanup. Unlike glittery shadow, metallic eye pencil debris won't fall onto your cheeks.

9. Use essentials oil

Your body constantly craves for moisture. From your dry hair to your cracked heels, keeping every zone hydrated is important. Having a different moisturizer for each body part is not. Essential oils can serve as a night cream for your face, shine serum for your hair, cuticle oil for your fingers, and lotion for your limbs. Avocado, coconut, and sweet almond are just three great natural cure-all oils that are packed with nourishing fatty ingredients. While tea tree oil is best if you have extra sensitive skin.
