Calling all lazy girls out there that can’t be bothered to contour, or wear fake lashes because that would require far too much effort.
Just because you don’t feel like doing a full-face of makeup, doesn’t mean you can’t find a five minute beauty regime that works for you. There are some incredible products out there, made especially with low-maintenance ladies in mind!
“Anthelios Tinted SPF 50” by La Roche-Posay.
Washing, toning, and moisturizing your face, followed by applying sunscreen and then makeup, is going to take up way too much of your time.
Why not just moisturize, put on sunscreen, and add coverage at the same time?
Tarte Shape Tape Foundation
If you’re looking for a foundation that is lightweight, flexible, feels and looks like your actual skin, and is easy to apply, try this asap! It’s pretty great for acne coverage too!
Fenty Highligher.
Adding a little bit of shimmer to your cheek bones, nose, and even collarbones can make a huge difference. In under five minutes, you can add a ton of dimension to your face, and bring out your best features.
Ponytail Extensions.
Clip-in extensions can take hours to put in properly, and may not end up looking completely natural. While permanent hair extensions are costly and take hours to install.
In the interest of saving time and $$, try a synthetic ponytail extension. Simply wrap it around your own ponytail, and go.
“Curl Combing Cream” by Not Your Mother’s Naturals.
For all the ladies with curly hair, you know the struggle of achieving the perfect, all-natural, low-maintenance hair day. But with this curl activating cream, all you have to do is run it through your hair when it’s damp, and let it do the rest of the work.
Shapewear.
Working out and getting in shape is a very long process, and while it’s always a good idea to stay healthy and active, sometimes there simply isn’t enough time to squeeze into that dress you were planning on wearing to your friend’s wedding.
Throw on one of these, and you’ll be instantly good-to-go!
“Perfect Defense” by Moroccanoil.
Leaving the house with wet hair isn’t a great look. But if you apply this into your hair while it’s wet, you can achieve the ultimate, natural, wavy hair-do when you’re pressed for time!
“Magic Retouch” by L’Oréal.
Making an appointment with your hair stylist to get your roots touched up can be a major pain, and sometimes getting an appointment right away can be difficult.
But thanks to this product, you can tide yourself over, and completely hide your hair regrowth.
“Prep & Prime Fix+” by MAC.
If halfway through the day your skin is starting to look a bit dull, and your makeup could definitely use a re-touch, try spraying this on your face instead. You’ll instantly look refreshed.
“Under Eye Brightening Corrector” by Becca.
Waking up with dark circles under our eyes is a struggle most of us know all too well.
But this under eye brightener is the quickest and easiest fix to looking like you got a better night’s sleep.
“Hair Remover Wax Strip Kit” by Sally Hensen.
Personally, I can’t be bothered to go into a spa every single month for waxing services. It’s a hassle, and it isn’t something that I can’t get done myself.
At-home wax kits are the perfect solution for homebodies that are looking to have a few stragglers removed.
“Surf Spray” by Bumble and Bumble.
I’m pretty sure every girl at one point or another has wished for mermaid hair.
Spray this in damp hair, and when it dries, you’ll have effortless looking beach waves.
“Flash light priming fitler” by Becca.
Apply this product to clean skin, and wash the magic happen. It instantly brightens the look of dull, dehydrated, tired skin, leaving you glowing.
“All Nighter” setting spray by Urban Decay.
Some of us don’t have time to be re-applying our makeup, or touching up multiple times a night. But with this miracle setting spray, you can rest assured that your makeup is going to stay on your face for a solid 12 hours, at least.
“Rose Butter Lip & Cheek Stain” by Seraphine Botanicals.
Two in one products are a major win for low-maintenance girls. Why have two products when you can have one?
This product works as blush, or lip stain. Or both!
“Brow Wiz” by Anastasia Beverly Hills.
With this one twist-up brow pencil, you can completely transform the look and shape of your brows.
Best of all, it has an eyebrow brush on one end, for quick and easy access!
“Age Rewind” concealer by Maybelline.
Instead of applying concealer and using a separate sponge to blend it in, try using this Maybelline under eye concealer. It has a built in sponge, so you can apply and blend in one motion.
Lash extensions.
Eyelash glue is incredibly difficult to use, especially if you don’t typically wear false eyelashes.Lash extensions are the ideal solution to the glue problem — with no mascara required!
They also keep your eyes looking glamorous 24/7, which we love!
Batiste dry shampoo.
I have no idea how some girls wash their hair every day, or even every other day. But for the rest of us, dry shampoo is our best friend.
BB tinted primer by Tarte.
For those of you who can’t be bothered to put on foundation, a tinted BB cream is probably your best bet, and Tarte has one that can’t be beat.
“Lip Luminizer” by Fenty.
A shimmery lipgloss always looks gorgeous when paired with a natural fresh faced look, and this particular one by Fenty is to die for!
“Hydra Touch” powder foundation by NYX.
Liquid foundation is messy, and takes forever to apply. Powder foundation on the other hand, is a heaven sent. Simply brush this all over your face, and you’re set.
Lisse Luxe hair towel.
Regular towels can leave your hair looking like Monica’s from Friends after her trip to Barbados: frizzy as hell.
Try using a Lisse Luxe hair towel instead. It combats frizz, so that your hair can air-dry smoothly.
Hot rollers.
Girls who have time to curl their hair every morning are truly a mystery to me.
But hot rollers are the best way to achieve voluminous curls without damaging your hair too much, or taking up too much of your time!
