You’re busy, always on the go, constantly moving (that’s why you read us!), and most likely don’t have time for a thirty minute contour session. But before you run out of the house with a baseball cap and oversized sunnies, take a look at our guide for quick beauty hacks that will transform you from bedhead to “I woke up like this” status.

Tote a mini bottle of dry shampoo

Dry shampoo is literally our go-to for any hair problem, and this little bottle of hair powder doesn’t take up much space in our already-overflowing bag. It’s the perfect way to add volume and clean your hair in seconds flat, right before that big meeting.

Use hand lotion in your hair

Dry hands? They can wait. Whip out that hand lotion when you’ve got frizz to make strands sleeker and add some fragrance. Just don’t apply a large amount to roots… or else you’ll really need that hair powder we just talked about.

Don’t underestimate your lipstick

Always carry your favorite hue? Us too. Use your lipstick to add some color to your complexion if you’re channeling a ghost, by dabbing a bit on your cheeks and rubbing. Caution: Don’t try with lipsticks that aren’t blush shades (that means you, purple).

Always carry a tube of clear mascara

For girls on the go, this is a game-changing multitasker. It can be used to perk up your lashes, and even doubles as a great brow gel to groom your arches.

If you only have time to do one thing at home…

Do your eyeliner. That way, you’ll still be wide-eyed on the way to work/school, and all you’ll need to do once you hit your destination is swipe on a few coats of mascara.
