Ready, Set... BEAUTIFY!


So you overslept and now are scrambling to get to work on time for that big meeting. I know the feeling: panicking, looking at the clock, wasting time trying to figure out what you can skip to shorten your morning routine. We’re going to give you 7 things to do on those mornings you only have 10 minutes to zoom out the door.

1. Baby powder that hair—Oily hair is a norm—luckily there's a quick remedy for those days there is little time to wash your hair. Sprinkle a bit of baby powder at the oily parts of your roots and pat it in. Make sure to brush through to rid the white residue. Throw it on at night so the powder can absorb the oil while you sleep. Added bonus—it helps stop oil from seeping on your face as you sleep!

The Europeans do have it right with hair care, the less you wash it, the cleaner it stays  for longer. As Americans, we are obsessed with showering, but we're not saying give up your daily shower. Instead, try washing your hair every other day; we swear you’ll notice difference.   

2. Wash your face—No time for a shower! Use a light face wash for mornings with cold water to wake you up, instead of a shower. Your face will look fresher, and you’ll feel almost as good as if you had time to scrub down.

3. Brow It UP—Whoever declared skinny, bare brows to be the look of the century needs their head checked! We know women are terrified of looking like Frida Kahlo (rest her soul, we love her), but it COMPLETES every woman’s face. We’re not talking about creating a bigger brow, we mean filling in the goods you got to frame your face! Too afraid of that fake drawn eyebrow look with a pencil? Use eye shadows as brow filler with the DEX New York Flat Eye Shadow Brush (BR-07)  and the Mineral Pressed Eye Shadow in The Dakota Spice to match your hair color. It’s softer and makes your eyebrows look naturally fuller. Don’t believe us, check all the runways and find a designer who likes models with non-existent brows!

And next time you go threading or waxing, tell her to ease up on the tweezing. We love CLEAN brows, not NAKED ones.

4. Eyelashes—We can’t stress enough the importance of eyelashes to your overall look. Like eyebrows, they MAKE the look. So YES, grab that scary looking eyelash curler and train yourself to use it. Load up on the mascara, which easily takes you thirty seconds. Sky-high lashes have as much of an effect as black liner. They awaken and open your eyes, making you look alert and fresh. If you have an extra ten seconds, swoop your lower inner eyelids with some white eyeliner to pop your sleepy eyes, while minimizing the red from them.

5. Perfume—“A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future.” Coco Chanel was a woman who knew what she was doing, listen to her advice! One who wears perfume gives the appearance of someone who had time to get ready in the morning and look her best. It gives an intangible addition of elegance to everyone. Spritz it on and you’ll instantly feel sexier and put together. This is the easiest step in a morning routine, it should not be skipped, NO EXCUSES!

6. Lipstick—Always have a neutral lipstick for the days you cannot plan what look you want. We recommend a natural pink like DEX New York lipstick in Court Street Apricot.

7. Tinted moisturizer—You don’t have to cake your face to look put together. Just make sure you give yourself something to add a bit of color to your face like our DEX NY Mineral Tinted Hydrator.

We promise you’ll be out the door within 10 minutes. Having a complete, ready-to-conquer-the-world look is not about layers of makeup, it’s about accentuating your features, and it doesn’t take long!
