Beauty Tips
Lazy Girl's Guide to GroomingAre you too lethargic to have anything that even slightly resembles a beauty routine? We've got your back, lazy girls. Here's a slew of shortcuts to help even the most indolent among us get with the grooming program |
When it comes to grooming, some gals are divas, some are minimalists, and some are just plain out of their element lazy. While many will stop at nothing to preen and primp, others just can't be bothered. Chalk it up to time constraints, lack of skills, or maybe even the old "ignorance is bliss" mantra but at some point -- like NOW --you're going to have to face the harsh reality that leaving the house looking like you just rolled out of bed hasn't been socially acceptable since college (and even then it was iffy).
Skip ahead to see our lazy girl's guide to grooming.
Listen, don't feel bad, you're not alone. In fact, celebrity makeup and hair pro Jeffrey Paul says the 'no muss, no fuss' motto is more common than you might think. "Not all women want to be experts in the field of makeup and hair," says Paul. "Most just want to spend less than five minutes getting ready." But what's a lazy girl to do when she just can't be bothered to pluck and curl and polish and spritz herself into gorgeousness? Why, rely on shortcuts, of course. There are the old emergency standbys, like pulling on jeans if you didn't shave your legs or wearing your thick framed glasses instead of applying eye makeup, but what if you want a regular routine that requires minimum effort yet leaves you looking pretty and polished?
We chatted with skin, hair, and makeup experts for genius grooming tips, that will enable your primping process to become nearly effortless. Plus, we've included our top product picks that are guaranteed to un-complicate your morning routine. So� If you're ready to dupe everyone into thinking you clocked hours in front of your vanity when you really hit that snooze button a couple/three times, read on.

I'm not a morning person, so this article was fun to read. I'm definitely all about the multipurpose makeup -- BB cream, lip/cheek stain, chubby eye pencil for perfectly smudge eyeliner. The suncreen wipes are new to me though, sounds really promising (though my BB cream already has SPF).

I just started to understand the appeal of wipes. The are pretty handy on the go. I like the Dickinson's Witch Hazel Towelettes

I'm not really into cutting corners, but that didn't make this article any less fun to read!

The Garnier BB Cream in "Light/Medium" (it's lightest shade) is very dark! If you have fair skin I would pass.

I love multipurpose products, but scented deodorant will always be gross to me.

I love multi-purpose products -- I thought I was the only person using mineral bronzing powder for a quick, natural-looking eye shadow! I'm still looking for a good BB cream though -- I loved the look of Garnier but had a reaction to it, probably the heavy scent.

Some good tips... it's funny thought, I just read another article on Total Beauty that said to always use brushes for concealer under your eyes, otherwise you're just wiping off what you just put on!
