16 Hair and Makeup ShortcutsTop hair and makeup pros backstage at New York Fashion Week spill their timesaving tricks -- steal them and you might actually make it to work on time |
Flat iron faster If you're short on time, but want a perfectly smooth, sleek hairstyle, take larger sections of hair (normally smaller sections are preferred); apply smoothing lotion to each (try Ted Gibson Tame It Shine Lotion, $15.99) then smooth over the sections with your flat iron. The product will help create flatness in the hair and larger sections will make the process go much faster. -- Ted Gibson, owner of the Ted Gibson Salons, backstage at the Vena Cava show

Some helpful hints here, but nothing dramatic (in this last tip, why not use blush instead of pinching your cheeks? Better yet, why not use "Pinch Your Cheeks" for long-lasting color?)

Always with mascara if I'm in a rush. Otherwise I look like a zombie!
