Are you a repeat offender when it comes to hitting the snooze button? Do you want a quicker, more efficient way to get ready in the morning? You’re in good company.
In an ideal world, we’d have enough time to pluck, wax, cleanse, exfoliate, tone, moisturise and apply: serum, sunscreen, primer, concealer, foundation, blush, mascara, tan – the list goes on.
Except the reality is given our busy schedules we’d much rather watch Ja’mie: Private School Girl or you know, sleep, in our spare time than adhere to time-consuming beauty routines.

Read on for seven beauty tips and tricks that make up a fast makeup routine that will have you hitting the snooze button, and looking good before heading out the door.

2. (Easy) Hair trickery.
