Look Good in 60 Seconds

Girls here are some quick trick to get you ready to face the whole world beautifully – in a mere minute

Edit Your Makeup You can get a great, polished look with just three products 1. Even out skin tone with tinted moisturizer, dabbing on a little extra over dark circles or blemishes. Choose one with SPF and you’ll protect, hydrate, and add sheer coverage in one step, with no special tool. Swipe on a neutral lip gloss. It makes lips look full and healthy and adds color so subtle; you don’t need a mirror to apply it. 2.3. Finish off with a coat of brown mascara.

Brighten Up Add some cheek color. A light dusting of peachy, apricot brush works for nearly all skin tones and brings your whole face to life.

Hide Roots Need to disguise a few wiry white strays? If you can’t get to your color-list anytime soon, try brushing brown or black mascara on the problematic strands.

Skip Shampoo No time for the real deal? Roughly blow-dry your hair for a few minutes to blast away odor then sprits strands with a hair refresher, which contains less alcohol then regular perfumes so it won’t dry your locks. Beauty extra: If your hair feels greasy, use regular baby powder to zap excess oil on your scalp – but use it sparingly so you won’t leave visible traces of the white powder on your hair and scalp.

Sidestep Blow-drying If careful styling is not in the cards, pull hair into a sleek, low ponytail.

New data shows that you’ll likely eat six percent less if you replaced 60 minutes of awake time (when you may snack) with an hour of shut eye. And a Harvard study that tracked around 68,000 women found that those who clocked only five or fewer hours of rest a night had a 32 percent greater chance of gaining more than 30 pounds over a 16-year period than those who got seven hours of sleep.
