Are you often late for work? Maybe the reason is that you hang out in front of the mirror for a long time? Use our tips and spend half as much time on makeup and hair.

In the morning, many women ask the question: what is better - to sleep an extra 15 minutes, have breakfast or do beautiful makeup? Unfortunately, there is not enough time for all three events, so something has to be sacrificed.

And most often, women prefer to do without breakfast, which is completely wrong. After all, the body will not say “thank you” for this action.

In order to have time to do everything you have planned in the morning, you need to spend less time getting yourself in order. Here are the tricks every woman needs to know.

1. Use dry shampoo

If you really don't have enough time in the morning to wash and dry your hair, apply dry shampoo to the roots of your hair and blow-dry it for one minute to get rid of excess product.

If the look of your hair still leaves much to be desired, try an elegant bun. You will spend no more than 5 minutes on this hairstyle.

2. Give preference to a moisturizing facial gel

Even if you're short on time, don't skip the moisturizing step: without the required amount of moisture, your facial skin will look stale, exhausted and old.

A cosmetic product with a creamy texture requires more careful distribution over the skin, so it is better to use gels in the morning. They not only apply faster, but are also instantly absorbed.

3. Use multifunctional cosmetics

Buy an all-in-one set of cosmetics - and in the morning you won’t have to waste time looking for the right lipstick, rummaging through your makeup bag, taking out suitable shadows from the very bottom. When everything is at hand, makeup will take much less time.

In addition, there are cosmetics that can be used simultaneously as lipstick and blush for cheekbones.

Please note that using 2in1 hair products (shampoo + conditioner) will also save not only your time, but also space in the bathroom.

4. Choose decorative cosmetics with a creamy texture

If you are not a professional makeup artist, then you will spend a lot of time applying loose eye shadow, blush and makeup foundation. Brushes are quite difficult to use, so if you are short on time, it is better to use creamy decorative cosmetics. After all, such shadows and blushes can be shaded faster with your finger.

5. Emphasize your eyes and cheekbones

If you don’t have enough time in the morning to do your usual makeup, which makes you look charming, don’t do it in a hurry, but rather concentrate on applying three important products:

• corrector (or concealer) under the eyes to disguise dark circles and signs of fatigue;
• mascara for a deeper look;
• blush for the cheekbones to highlight the oval of the face.

Don't forget these tricks - and in the morning you won't have to sacrifice sleep or breakfast.

Based on materials from the website www.womenshealth.pl

Get enough sleep. Try to go to bed early, provide yourself with complete silence and darkness, only in such conditions can you truly get enough sleep. Complete relaxation of the body is a guarantee that you will be full of energy in the morning.

Prepare breakfast the night before. Or cook in a slow cooker, adding all the ingredients for the porridge and setting the delay timer. The multicooker will prepare hot porridge for you at the right time. You don't have to rush to fry eggs or cook porridge; you can calmly enjoy a full breakfast with coffee.

Prepare your clothes in advance.The night before, look at the weather forecast and, according to it, decide in advance what to wear, iron your clothes and prepare accessories that will suit your look. Don't be lazy to prepare everything–from socks and underwear, it is the search for such little things in the morning that takes a lot of time.

Use your morning shower only for hygiene purposes,and to relax in the evening you can take a bath. It is also better to postpone the use of masks and scrubs, plucking eyebrows and painting nails until the evening.

Make a schedule. Write down your morning schedule and strictly follow it. Think about how long you will have breakfast, take a shower, put on makeup, get dressed, and what time you will leave the house, try not to go too far beyond the time frame.

Use a high-quality and powerful hair dryer.A good hair dryer will dry long and thick hair faster; if you style your hair correctly right away, you won’t need additional styling with an iron.

Use dry shampoo. If you don’t have time to wash your hair, use dry shampoo; it quickly refreshes the roots of your hair and gives it volume (a great helper for girls who are always in a hurry!). If you decide to wash your hair in the morning, then do it first so that your hair dries while you do other things.

Pack your bag in advance.Remember how, as a child, your mother made you pack your backpack in the evening, we advise you to follow this rule in adulthood. This will help reduce the time you have to get ready in the morning, and you will not forget the necessary things in a hurry.

Apply makeup with your fingertips.For example, applying foundation, blush, concealer and light shadows in this way will be much faster than using makeup brushes. By the way, eyelash extensions not only look beautiful, but also save you from having to spend precious minutes applying mascara to your eyelashes.

Accustom yourself to order. Every morning you spend a lot of time looking for your car keys or umbrella. This can be avoided if you teach yourself and your household to put all things in their place and not throw them away during morning preparations.

Don't turn on the Internet.If you don’t want to be late for work, don’t turn on your computer or phone for “5 minutes”; checking email or reading the news actually takes at least half an hour.

Create a universal look.Prepare a set of clothes that are suitable for any occasion and can save you in a moment of extreme rush or when you don’t know what to wear, and always remember to keep these things in good condition.

If you have a rush every morning and it’s the last day of Pompeii, if you are constantly late for work or arrive there hungry, without makeup and therefore angry, then our advice will be very useful to you! How to learn to quickly and calmly get ready for work, Passion.ru tells.

A pleasant morning is the key to a successful day! However, looking at the “happy” faces in public transport and at the “friendly” honking drivers on the roads, it immediately becomes clear that the morning can be good, but only if it starts 2 hours later. Unfortunately this is not possible. Let's figure out why it's so difficult to get ready quickly in the morning, and how to get “five more minutes” of sleep.

Make your room warmer in the evening

Scientists have noticed that the duration of sleep in winter increases with decreasing temperature. And getting out of bed becomes unbearably difficult. Therefore, in the evening, make sure that you will sleep warmly and wake up warmly. So you won’t want to sleep “a little more” and then “more.”

Saving: 5-10 minutes

Morning shower - only for hygiene

Use your morning shower only for hygiene, not for relaxation and pleasure. Postpone various masks, scrubs and other time-consuming procedures until the evening or the weekend. Showering and washing can be completed in 10 minutes instead of the usual 20.

Saving: 5-10 minutes

Wash your hair in the evening, and in the morning do only styling. If you can’t wash your hair in the evening, use dry shampoo in the morning. It will not replace regular hair washing, but you will still be able to go through the day with well-groomed hair. And if you still decide to completely wash your hair in the morning, then do it first so that your hair dries while you have breakfast and do other things.

Savings: 5-20 minutes

Prepare food for work the night before

It would be nice to not only prepare it in the evening, but also package it. This will also help save precious minutes. When you come to the kitchen, you won’t frantically throw everything into a container, but will be able to calmly enjoy breakfast.

Saving: about 3 minutes

How to reduce the time spent on morning makeup

• Consider tattooing your eyebrows and/or lips.
• Try salon eyelash tinting.
• Use light colors for makeup. In a hurry in the morning, you may not be able to, for example, draw arrows evenly, and you will waste precious time on correction.
• Discover red lipstick. Kate Moss said she wears red lipstick when she doesn't have time to put on makeup or style her hair. Lip makeup with red lipstick will still take time, because it needs to be done very carefully, but once you get used to it, it will take you much less time than full makeup. Carefully applied red lipstick is a complete look: stylish, bright and eye-catching.

Saving: 5-10 minutes

Prepare your clothes the night before

Look at the weather forecast, listen to your mood and prepare your outfit, as well as think about a plan B if something suddenly confuses you about your outfit in the morning. To prepare an outfit means to find it, iron it and hang it in a place where no one will touch it, a cat won’t get in, and the family won’t litter it with other things. Prepare everything down to socks, underwear and accessories. It is shaking and trying on all the contents of the closet in the morning that always takes the most time.

Savings: 10 minutes or more

Get yourself in order

Have you noticed how much time it takes to find missing items? Shoe sponge, apartment or car keys, napkins, comb, umbrella? And the reason for this is not only chronic disorder, but also the habit of throwing things away during the packing period. So, you often end up with a phone at home, littered with dresses that don’t fit, and keys fall off the nightstand after you’ve dumped all the things you want to put in your bag.

Train yourself to put everything in the same place and, after taking an item and using it, return it to its place. This way you will not only save time on your own getting ready, but also on helping your family get ready, and on cleaning in general.

Savings: from 3 minutes

Don't turn on your computer in the morning

Even if you just want to check your email or listen to music. The experience of many people shows that “just 5 minutes” at the computer turns into fifteen minutes late for work. So it’s better not to provoke yourself or even turn it on. The same goes for tablets and smartphones, don’t waste time on them in the morning.

Savings: from 5 minutes

Count the time

If getting ready is a real problem for you, and you are determined to get rid of it, then write down everything you do in the morning, including moving from room to room. Write down how much time you spend on this. It may well be that the running around and long preparation times are due to the fact that you cannot organize everything that you need to do. Prepare breakfast in the kitchen, then go with it to the computer, then take the plates back and clear the table, take a rag and wipe the table in the room. It’s much faster to have breakfast in the kitchen, right?

If you are a gambling person, then arrange a “Get ready in 40 minutes” competition and come up with a prize that will inspire you.

Saving: 4-10 minutes

Don't do your manicure in the morning

In the morning, you will still be in a hurry and will definitely paint your nails unevenly or rub off the polish, and maybe even leave a stain on your clothes. It is better to paint your nails in the evening. You can, of course, try to paint them in the car while you warm it up, but it’s not a guarantee that the varnish will have time to dry, or you won’t accidentally wipe it off, or you won’t stain the interior of the car with it.

Saving: 3-5 minutes

The main rule for calm and quick getting ready in the morning is to leave a maximum of 3-4 tasks for the morning (get up, wash, get dressed, leave the house) that you cannot do in the evening, and do everything else the day before. Why? Because in the evening you don’t want to sleep as much as in the morning. Remember this the next time you are tempted to casually say: “Oh, I’ll do it in the morning!”

As you can see, with simple tips we were able to make the preparations faster by 48 minutes. But even if you manage to save half, that will already be great progress. Imagine what wonderful dreams you could have with that time saved, and how great it would be if you had a few free minutes to exercise.

NameWoman continues to share tips with readers on how to best organize their time. The topic of our next conversation is how to quickly get ready in the morning, avoiding stress, haste and possible delays.

Representatives of the gentle sex who do not have such a habit, in the morning rush and urgent long search for something, often remember the children's saying: “damn it, play it and give it back!” Unfortunately, it doesn’t work, key fobs with signals attached, for example, to car/apartment keys or to a mobile phone, can help, but it’s much better to try keep essential items in a strictly defined place . List on the nightstand in the hallway the already mentioned keys, diary, wallet, glasses, mini cosmetic bag, disposable tissues, sanitary pad in a case, spare and sponge for shoes. Some interior designers offer special stand tables with signatures or cells for the things listed above - very convenient and immediately visible when anything is missing.

Tip #2 . Surely in the evening you are visited by thoughts about the upcoming new day, you are scrolling through future events, affairs, ordinary and pleasant plans in your head. It is worth thinking in advance about what you will wear in the morning . It’s also better to iron in the evening; to be on the safe side, use a hand-held steamer (saves time, is easy to use and helps refresh even a cashmere sweater). Hang a hanger with the outfit you chose on your closet, select accessories (jewelry, hairband, scarf, belt) and leave them on the bedside table or near the mirror. Cleaning your shoes in advance and checking the condition of your outerwear is also the right decision.

Tip #3 . The most common reason for lack of time, haste and lateness is laziness. And not just laziness, but laziness, supported by fatigue, manifesting itself in the evening... This brings you to the recommendation: wash your hair in the evening an hour and a half before bed (by the way, after this you will fall asleep and sleep much better).

Bringing beauty

Tip #4 . Morning makeup is quite a time-consuming procedure, but haste invariably affects the quality, which often leads to “do-overs”, which means, one way or another, again to stress and loss of time. What to do? Should I refuse, for example, mascara and at the same time the opportunity to make my eyes more expressive? No and no again! Beauty should not be sacrificed, but some decorative cosmetics can be excluded from your arsenal. Permanent makeup is created for those who save time and want to be expressive. The bonus is that tattooing eyebrows and permanent lips makes you invulnerable to water. This is extremely valuable both on the seashore and just on hot days, as well as in times of rain and sleet. The main thing is to choose a professional master; if you are thinking about getting permanent lips, then take a look, for example, here: http://dobryakovastudio.ru/portfolio/permanent-gub - perfect eyebrows, eyes and lips will become a reality.

Another option for reducing the time spent getting ready in the morning is salon eyelash tinting , it will last at least a month. In this case, the eyelashes will look very neat and natural. Makeup artists recommend choosing a brown shade. At the same time, you can reduce the entire procedure for obtaining the most expressive look to.

Tip #5 . Absolutely It is not necessary to apply all the day's makeup on your face in the morning . Show moderation. The main thing is a concealer to disguise skin imperfections. Don't forget day cream and lipstick. Carry a palette of products to highlight your eyes and cheekbones in your purse.

Tip #6 . Foundation requires perfect blending, which again wastes precious time. Make a choice in favor loose powder and a high-quality special brush .

Tip #7 . Morning hairstyle manipulation can be reduced to the following procedures: moisturizing the hair, applying a leave-in conditioner, styling with cold air from a hairdryer with a rotating brush . All this will take no more than 15 minutes (of course, if you did not neglect our advice No. 3). Remember that slight negligence is now popular in hairstyles, and charm and elegance are achieved thanks to details: a thin ribbon at the forehead or a headband can easily transform your usual hairstyle.

Keeping track of time

Tip #8 . If you find it difficult to organize yourself and in the morning you especially easily lose track of time, then try to control it. The ideal assistant is a women's wristwatch. Put the watch on your wrist as soon as you wake up and look at the dial more often. This will help you understand where precious minutes go, what morning ritual takes the most time, etc.

Tip #9 . Besides the first alarm in the morning to wake you up, you need one more! Set an alarm clock to remind you 10 minutes before you absolutely need to leave the house. to avoid rush and delays. Let the signal from your wristwatch signal the need to finish getting ready.

Tip #10 . Due to haste or lack of appetite in the morning (the body is either already accustomed to an incorrect diet, or simply does not have time to wake up during the time that you spend at home after waking up), many people refuse breakfast. This fundamentally wrong decision dooms you to spend the first half agonizingly waiting for lunch. The minutes drag on for an eternity, and you constantly look at the clock face: “how long is there left, maybe I can snack on chips/Snickers?” Have breakfast at work ! Here are two options for simple and healthy sets: some muesli fruit and low-fat yogurt; boiled egg, whole grain bread and tomato juice. For the best organization of time and yourself (as well as to prevent delays), representatives of the fair sex are recommended to arrive at the workplace at least 15-20 minutes before the time when you must appear there. During this time, you can have time to get into the mood for work, get yourself in order and have a light breakfast. NameWoman's recommended protein boost will help you last until lunch.
