Try a lip stain

bh’s Nadine says: “If I can’t be bothered putting on a full lip colour, i’ll just use a tiny bit of lipstick and use my finger to blend it out onto my lip for a nice stain.”

Go nude

bh’s Kristy says: “Since I’m always in a rush and I never have much time to meticulously paint my toenails, I only wear nude or light-coloured nail polishes. They’re easy to clean up and you can never make a mess with a nude shade like pastel blue and camel.”

10 second brows

bh’s Kate says: “I love filling in my brows but often don’t have the time to spend hours in front of the mirror perfecting them. Luckily, I recently learned an amazing time-saving trick last year from Benefit’s National Brow Artist Hannah – draw a thin line along the underside of your brow with a pencil, like a frame to create some shape in your arches. Then just brush the line upwards into your brows so that the colour blends in and finish with a slick of brow gel over the top. Brows done in 10 seconds flat!”

Multitasking products

bh’s Michelle says: “This is my new favourite multitasking wonder product! It’s a tinted sunscreen with an SPF50 and a sheer but buildable coverage that leaves my skin looking really glowy and fresh. I wear it under foundation during the week and on its own on laid-back weekends.”

Tanning time-saver

bh’s Eloise says: “My hair is really curly, frizzy and time-consuming, so sometimes if I have a half up, half down hairstyle I’ll only straighten the bottom half! Actually, I do that with fake tan sometimes too – just tan my legs if I know I’m wearing a dress with long sleeves.”

BB cream

bh’s Deb says: “I like to mix a slightly darker foundation in with my usual BB cream if I can’t be bothered to apply bronzer/contour, or if just want a bit more colour in my face but don’t want to apply fake tan.”

Cheat with concealer

bh’s Sophie says: “I’ve always been a full-coverage foundation girl, but lately I’ve been skipping the foundation and just applying concealer under my eyes and around my nose. I never thought I’d be one of those girls, but it’s amazing how much concealer evens out blotchiness and dark circles! And skipping my base saves so much time in the mornings.”

  1. URGENT EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET YOUR EX  BACK FAST AND TO SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE NOW CONTACT DR.DAVID ON  WHATSAPP  DIRECTLY +2347040654140 .

     My name is MICHEAL RACHEL. When I read a testimony online on how DR DAVID the great and most powerful spell caster helped to bring back Divorce husband or wife EX LOVER. I was wondering how this can be true, Because many have failed me in the past without any result from them. I just let the post pass by and move on to the forum. To my notice under again, Some person posted and said tested and trusted spell caster. After reading through the mail it was this same man DR DAVID she was talking about. So I have no other option than to really check up how he works. I was totally devastated when my beloved husband left me. It was like my entire world vanishing into sorrow and pain. I know it sounds weird but out of all the spell casters I contacted, he was the only one to give me that impression of being so true and trustful. More than his words, He brought my husband back and he made all my wishes come true. He is now loyal, pays attention to me, he offers me flowers every Sunday, and we often go out at the cinema and the restaurant. My husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family are living together happily again.. I will be forever thankful for turning my life from hell to heaven! I believe those who need help should get to him for help. May God continue to use you to save broken relationships. To every one with marital problems, divorce issues, lost lovers or any relationship related issues, you can contact DR DAVID and wonder about the ultimate spell caster. contact him on his Email Address @ awesomespelltemple@gmail.com   His Website:: http://awesomespelltemplem.website2.me his WhatsApp +2347040654140 https://www.facebook.com/Awesomelovepelltemple
