Say goodbye to fierce winged liner and hot pink pouts this season! The look we’re crushing on? Dewy skin, tousled waves, and that lit-from-within glow. Here’s the best part: you’ll be ready in half the time!
The Inspiration:
Hair:
The night before, toss slightly damp hair into loose braids for perfectly undone waves in the morning. French braiding gives more wave and volume to the crown, while a single plait leaves you with soft, piecey bend.
Face:
Foundation takes ages to blend and can look cakey over dry winter skin. Instead, smooth over a BB cream with SPF to even your complexion and apply concealer only where you need it.

Eyes:
Don’t skip curling those lashes—it’ll help you look wide-awake even on early mornings! Got an extra minute? Blend in a cream eye shadow base with your fingers and add a quick coat of super black mascara.

Eyebrows:
Keep them well groomed, and all you’ll need in the morning is to brush them through with tinted brow gel.

Lips:
Red lipstick requires time and concentration and lip gloss gets stuck to our hair. Choose tinted balms that won’t dry you out and add a brightening wash of color. Bonus? You can apply them as you head out the door!
