Default Look Cute in minutes

17 ways to save time but look spectacular while doing it:

1. tie a chic scarf around your hair when there's no time to style it
2. tape your weekly schedule and weather forecast to your closet door so it's easier to plan your outfits
3. install a hook in your room for your next day's outfit. plan your looks (accessories and underwear too!) the night before, and hang it up.
4. put your everyday makeup together in a compartment in your cospmetics bag- separate it from your special occasion products
5. apply an antiperspirant that lasts 24 hours efore bed- that way if you oversleep and can't shower, you're covered
6. wear black leggings under skirts if you don't have time to shave. they're a cute way to cover stubble!
7. sprinkle talcum powder on your brush to style your hair when it's greasy and you don't have time to wash it.
8. mix one part concealer with one part moisturizer (in your hand) to create a sheer base- it can take the place of a separate lotion, concealer, and foundation. apply to your entire face.
9. keep a dry dish sponge in your room; it will remove deodorant marks that get on your top when you're getting dressed in a rush.
10. use one product all voer- a cream bronzer can be used on eyes, cheeks, and lips.
11. get makeup that has been baked- it will go on evenly so you won't waste time blending it (they sell them prebaked, like physician's formula)
12. store a touch up beauty kit in your locker or work space. if you rushed to school/work, you can polish up once you get there
13. style your hair at night, then sleep with a silk scarf wrapped around your head to make the look last
14. try a tourmaline hairdryer if you want to wash and dry your hair in the morning. the ion charge dries hair twice as fast!
15. organize your closet first by shape (shor sleeved sirts, camis, skirts, etc) then by color- so you can put an outfit together fast when you're in a pinch.
16. forget the iron! steam out wrinkles FAST while you shower by hanging your clothes in the bathroom
17. if you like to style your hair in the morning, wash your hair an hour before bed and let it finish drying while you sleep. starting with dry hair in the AM will cut your styling time in half

Great tips!
I can totally relate to #3. You would be AMAZED at how much time you'll save by setting out your clothes the night before! I'm sold on that idea.

Also love the closet organization ideas. That's a timesaver, too.
