We've
all been in that situation - when you have to quickly pull yourself together
and look great in a matter of moments but your makeup or hair needs something
to rescue it. The best quick rescue for hair that is beginning to look unwashed
or dull is a quick spray of dry shampoo. Hold away from the hair and spray
evenly, combing the product through to leave your hair looking fresh and clean
in a matter of moments. If you're still not happy with how it looks, opt to
pull it back from your face, creating a tidy bun that will look neat and
elegant, while also concealing how it looks.
Having
some wipes on hand is always a good idea - you can use them to quickly freshen
up your face and even out any makeup that has run or looks patchy. Some cotton
swabs can be run under and around the eyes to quickly pick up any eyeliner that
has become crooked or mascara that has flaked. To quickly fix makeup, blot your
face with blotting papers, slick on some mascara, powder over foundation and
turn the attention to your lips with a subtle rose shade that doesn't require
too much precision or time to put on. A touch of blush will add colour and
vitality to your skin. If you don't have time to apply foundation, reach for a
concealer and apply it where needed, blending into your skin to make sure it
looks natural. If all else fails, quickly throw your hair up, add a bold lip
and wear sunglasses if possible - it looks clean and elegant instantly.
