BEAUTY SHORTCUTS

Being a woman means having a little vanity-or a lot.  I have some quick beauty shortcuts to make your life easier when you`re in a hurry with no time to spare (everyday for me).  These tips will help you save money while cutting your beauty routine in half.

SKIN & MAKEUP

1) Add a little moisturizer to your foundation and it will glide on smoothly.

2) Skip eyeshadow, and use an eyeliner pencil underneath your eyes, followed by mascara.

3) Don`t use lip liner, instead choose a lipstick with staying power.  Makeup artist to the stars Jerome Alexander offers many wonderful, shades that compliment all skin tones.

4) Don`t have time for a tan?  Invest in some bronzing powder for you face and shoulders. Try Jerome Alexander Multi-Purpose Sahara Sunrise Powder for a natural look.

5) Use disposable make-up remover cloths for removing eye shadow and mascara.  Baby wipes serve the same purpose, and you save money.

6) Use neutral shades, and you don`t have to worry about your cosmetics clashing with your clothing.  Once again, Jerome Alexander Sahara Sunrise Collection has wonderful neutral shades that compliment every skin tone.

THE BANE OF THE MANE

Need your bangs trimmed, but have no time to visit the salon?  Trim them yourself.  While they are wet, pull them forward, and divide into three sections.  Snip the middle first, followed by the sides.  Snip upwards, and at an angle for fringy bangs.

Use an all-in-one shampoo and conditioner.

Since the tousled look is in style, run your fingers through your hair, (without brushing or combing) and pull it back into a ponytail.

Run your blow dryer on high, but use a diffuser.

Scrunch your hair while blow-drying, and skip the curling iron or hot rollers.

When your shampoo or conditioner gets low, add a little water to get the last drop.

Add a light dab of cornstarch or talcum powder to your hair to absorb any excess oil.

For a quick, tousled look the next day, wash hair the night before, and put it up in a messy bun.  In the morning, take it down, and finger comb.

Now that you have a little extra morning time, have that extra cup of coffee.
