One way to shave off some seconds especially when applyingmakeup for work would be to use the right makeup brushes. And no, I don't mean those little throwaway brushes that come with eyeshadow, blush, etc. They are to small to do you any good. By using the right brushes, applying makeup will be quick, easy and much more precise.

If you are trying to debate on what to wear, then try wearing red on Friday, every Friday, blue on Mondays, black on Wednesdays, so on and so forth. This will eliminate some of the clothes from your list and will make your decision easier. I know it sounds silly but you'll be surprised at how well it works!

Going through and washing the blush off can be a big hassle and can take more time. If you apply too much blush, do not panic! You do not need to start over. Instead, take a sponge, moisten it and gently dab it where you applied the blush. This is going to dilute the color and will make you look acceptable.

Eye makeup takes my literally 3 minutes. However deciding what to wear.. I sat at my closet for 30 mins, looking for something I haven't wore yet. I ended up putting on something I didn't even like = = I think I need to go shopping some more...

Thanks for the tips and tricks Mel. Everyday it's a runway for me. It takes me 10mins for my hair to be styled, I to be clothed and my make up to be done! Lol!!
