There are times when you simply cannot spend a full hour doing your makeup, but you still want to look good, so what is a gal to do? These simple and easy hair and make up tips will get you looking ready in no time so that you will never look like you threw yourself together at the last minute (even if you really did). If you are planning to go out after work and want your hair to look perfect, here is a trick you can try first thing in the morning. While hair is wet, lightly mist strands with a holding spray, then gather hair together, twist down into a loose bun and pin into place. Wear your hair like this at the office, then when it is time to go, simply undo the pins, tousle and scrunch hair with a texturizing spray or cream and you are ready to go.

Other easy hair and make up tips you can do at the end of your work day before going out include dusting translucent powder over your lipstick in order to hold your color for longer, doing a quick two to three coats of mascara to define your lashes and lining the inside of the upper and lower lids using a soft pencil. Braiding your hair while wet is a great way to add texture and wave to your hair so that by the end of the day your hair will have great waves in it when you undo the braid. Always keep a small tube of texturizing or smoothing cream in your purse so that you can tame any loose hairs and flyaways.
