Back to school: my tricks on getting ready quickly

Good afternoon loves! 
Going back to school we obviously don't have much time to get ready everyday. Especially if your a high school athlete and have practice in the mornings they defiantly don't give you as much time to get ready as you would've had in the summer. And on top of that their are going to be those nights that your going to be up super late studying and your going to want your sleep! I don't know about you guys but I always want to look put together and I won't be able to concentrate on school if I'm worried about my appearance. My advice is to have a go to makeup routine. One that you know exactly what products work and that are fool proof. If you continue to do this routine then you'll get really good at it therefore making your getting ready process quicker. My go to routine is BB cream, many many many coats of mascara(I have super short eyelashes), some eyeliner and a nude lip. I recommend getting a good mascara (or in my case mascaras). If you really pump out your eyelashes and curl them then this will open up your eyes and make you instantly look more awake. My favorites are Loreal voluminous and Maybelline falsies. These are great because they give you nice thick dramatic lashes in a pinch. 

I would also recommend something similar to a BB cream or tinted moisturizer. They're basically fool proof because they will never look thick or cakey and they just kind of smooth over everything and even out your skin tons. My favorite is they super BB blebish balm

I am also a huge fan of heartless hairstyles! My hair naturally goes into waves but if yours doesn't then the night before just put it into two braids and the next morning you'll be left with gorgeous waves! That way you don't have to waste time to do your hair in the morning and the hairstyle is heartless which is so much better for your hair. If your not into the crimpy waves look and like more of a curly wave I recommend twisting your hair up in two socks, one on either side of your head and then tying the ends. This will leave you with more of a curlier wave. Heat less hairstyles are perfect for school. 

Taking care of your skin is really important. I don't care how late you stay up studying always wash your face and take of your makeup. Your skin will thank you I promise and you'll have to spend less time in the morning trying to cover up zits. The ponds makeup cleansing towelettes are my absolute favorite for removing makeup because they are super gentle and remove all my makeup thoroughly. If your really too tired to do anything else at least use one of these every night. 

I don't know about you guys but I always spent the longest time trying to pick out my outfit for school. I don't have this problem this year because ill be going to a private school but make sure you choose your outfit the night before. That way when you wake up you can just throw it on, take out your hair from the braids(or socks), and put on the makeup that you've already gotten really fast and efficient at applying and run out the door!
