1. Keep your blowout bodacious

To get the oomphiest tresses, twist your hair into a tight bun right after you blow it out, and secure it with a pair of chopsticks- they won’t dent your do like an elastic. Let your hair cool while you do your makeup. When you take out the sticks you’ll have oodles of soft waves.

2. Create gorgeous orbs

Illuminating your eyes isn’t just about using the right shadow. You first should nix any darkness or redness that could make you look tired. Blend a creamy concealer onto your lids, over dark circles, and at the inner and outer corner. Then apply shadow as usual.Never use falsies, because it’ll make you look too made up. Instead, go for a double wear 4D mascara that can give you a fuller look without looking fake. Product recommendation: VnC 4D Mascara, $ 29.95

3. Go for endless glow

Exfoliating leaves your skin soft and radiant, but the results last only a few hours. The trick is to do it just before your date.But date night isn’t the time to rub-a-dub-dub with a new scrub so be sure you’ve tested it before. Two sloughers to try: DERMAdoctor KP Duty Dermatologist Formulated Body Scrub with Chemical + Physical Exfoliation, $46 and Clinique Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliating Cream, $26

The light will reflect off your cheeks and make them more pronounced in a subtle way.

5. Wear an Arousing Aroma

Beauty Hacks For Lazy People Who Don’t Like Wearing Makeup

Morning beauty routine can either be fun to start the day or be absolute worse. There are days when you lack sleep, pulled an all-nighter, a zit showed up but you’re the type of person who hates piling makeup for coverage. We feel you. Going barefaced when going out though is a heinous crime. So here are few quick makeup hacks you can try to make fake a polished face.

1. Ditch Foundation, go for tinted mineral sunscreen

The sheer coverage that this tinted moisturizer is lightweight so it would give you extra glow without the heaviness of full coverage foundation. This also would protect you from skin damage since it contains SPF. Try: La Roche-Posay Tinted Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid

2. Define your Brows

Wearing and defining your brows can make a huge difference even without a full face makeup. Well-groomed brows will give you a polished look. So keep your brows neat, possible. Fill in the sparse areas with brow powder or a brow mascara. Try NYX Tinted Brow Mascara

3. Maximize the use of your lipstick

Keeping your lips  colored and soft will give you instant burnished look. Make sure to soothe your lips with Vitamin E-induced lippies with a hint of gloss. And if you run out of blush, you swipe a few on your cheeks for a more flushed look. Try: Lipstick Queen Lipstick in Frog Prince

4. Forget Contouring & Use Bronzer The Old Fashioned Way

Contouring can be rocket science if you’re running late in the morning. However, you can fake this by using bronzing powder. This will give you not only glow but also a dimension that contouring does. So go for a glow! Try: Cargo Bronzing Powder

5. Wake Up Skin With One Easy-to-Use Product

Using a concealer on your not-so-beautiful-days can be your best friend. A yellow undertone concealer can cover your dark circle from lack of sleep. You can also use the same concealer as a highlighter. Swipe a few strokes on your cheekbones, t-zone area as well as your cupids bow. Then pat your fingers to blend the product in. Try: LORAC Double Feature Concealer & Highlighter

6. Skip falsies, but not the full lashes

Using a double wear mascara can make you look awake and bright. You don’t need to go to the hard work of putting falsies. Instead, use 4D mascara that can mimic the fuller look. This mascara will also give the illusion of dark rim so you may skip tight lining your eyes. Try: VnC 4D Mascara.

Most women who are lazy to look polished are the ones who don’t feel the need to wear one. These women invest in products that made their skin smooth and young looking. They are all well maintained with supplements that are good for their skin. Hence, use this hack for the days that you feel like hibernating from makeup.
