Sometimes you don’t need to spend Hours in front of the mirror to get the best results. And sometimes you do… Here are 6 effective tricks that don’t take long!

1 Instant Face Lift

Gather a large amount of hair into a pony tail at the crown. Adhere with a hair accessory or elastic band. Tease the pony tailed area for fullness, lightly smoothing with a brush. When you lift your hair this way, you are pulling your face up too.

2 Quick Cheekbones

Apply bronzer underneath the cheekbone and along the jaw line. Use a smaller contour brush rather than a fluffy blush brush. Be careful to blend out lines. Finish with a light pink blush on the apples of the cheeks.

3 Fuller Lips

Just switch from a matte to a shimmery gloss. Swipe it over your regular lipstick. If you use a light gloss, you can extend it slightly beyond the lip line and don’t need to be exact.

4 Big Eyes

Dab a small amount of beige eye shadow on the center of your eyelids. Blend slightly with the warmth of your pinky finger.

5 Long Lasting Lips

Use dry blush to seal lips. Apply a small dot with your finger and smudge over moisturized lips. Start in the center and work to the edges.

6 Cover Blemishes

A creamy nude pencil will quickly cover flaws and dark areas. An alternative is to apply translucent powder by pressing down on the blemish.
