8 Beauty Hacks For When You’re Running Late For Work. We’ve Got Your Early Mornings Covered!

I hate waking up early in the morning especially when I have to look presentable and go to work. Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began, we’ve all been working from home which means we can work in our PJs without having to worry about looking presentable. Unless we have a video call to attend and even then, we can get away with our comfy clothes. But now, as the world reopens slowly, so is work which means all of us lazy girls will now need some beauty hacks to get ready in the mornings.

Now, most of us who aren’t fans of early mornings are almost always running late and that makes it so much more difficult to look presentable. It’s no cakewalk to look nice after you’ve snoozed your alarm multiple times and skipped breakfast and rushed to get to work on time. But on days like this (which is almost every other day), we all need some beauty hacks to look amazing and fresh.

And if you’re not a morning person (just like me) and end up getting late for work, we’ve got you covered. I’ve listed some quick beauty hacks to help you look well-rested and presentable on crazy Monday mornings.

1. It’s not practical to have the time to take a head bath when you’re already late for work and if that’s your everyday routine then I suggest you wash your hair the night before. Apart from saving time, this beauty hack will also help you use a little less product (like dry shampoo) and prevent unnecessary product build-up.

2. Wearing your sunscreen and foundation and following your usual makeup and beauty routine cannot be quick. A great way to solve this problem would be to skip a few steps. Instead of sunscreen, use a BB cream with SPF and add a layer of concealer if needed.

3. Never ever forget to use a highlighter on a day like this. Highlighters are the best way to look fresh and well-rested without putting in much effort. My highlighter is my go-to beauty hack and product on mornings like this.

4. Skip the eyeliner and stick to the mascara. Doing your usual winged liner can take forever and god forbid if you mess up the flick in the end or if it’s not the same on both your eyelids. So, instead of wearing eyeliner just wear mascara and some kajal if that floats your boat.

5. A bright lip colour can truly be a lifesaver. Add a pop of colour to brighten up your face with wine, plum or red lip colour. This will take the attention off your early morning face.

6. Always, always have a travel beauty kit handy to save the day in case you just don’t have the time to spend on grooming. You can always do it on the go if you have all your emergency products in hand.

7. Blush can be a life-saving beauty hack. A little bit of blush on your cheeks can add a pop of colour to your face and make you look fresh and presentable.

8. Bad hair days are not uncommon. Another beauty hack to look awake on a morning like this would be to style your hair in an updo. You can do a sleek bun or a messy one, whichever works best for you.
