The phrase “test well dress well” can be very true! If you are too busy thinking about your appearance or just need a confidence boost before that big test, looking your best can do a lot. Plus, who doesn’t want to leave for the day feeling great? However, there is often a very limited amount of time to get ready in the morning and that snooze button seems to get hit more and more as the week goes on. A few simple tips will allow you to feel your best no matter how small the time crunch!
1. Apply a BB cream or moisturizer, this helps to brighten up your face and a bb cream will provide light coverage and some even come with an SPF!

2. If you have a little time, apply a little mascara and a light shimmery shadow to help brighten your eyes up and look awake ! I always make sure to add a little primer on my lid before applying the eye shadow, to keep it fresh throughout the day. Optional: add a touch of pencil eyeliner to your lash line to make eyes appear bigger !

4. If your hair is in need of a wash but you don’t have time, spray some dry shampoo in and pull it back into a messy bun. If you don’t have dry shampoo, hair spray can help or just pull on a hat (no one will ever know) or a cute headband.

5. Picking out what to wear can sometimes be the hardest part of the morning. Throw on a long sleeve t-shirt and add a scarf. The scarf helps make the t-shirt look a little more complete (embrace your inner Lauren Conrad). This look also goes great with your hair tied up !
On your way out the door spritz a little of your favorite perfume/spray or put a little lip gloss on!
These simple tricks will help you start your day feeling confident!
