You may not have time to style your hair, but that doesn't mean it won't look good. As a simple quick fix, try a shine serum or spray. A little spritz here and there will give your hair a brilliant shine, which can be all you need to make your 'do look great.
2. Curly Eyelashes

You always have time to emphasize at least one feature, and your eyes are a great place to start. Although you might be too pressed to bother with the whole mascara routine, you can at least give your lashes a little curl. Eyelash curlers are notoriously scary looking but they're easy to use and it only takes two seconds to give both sets of lashes a lovely little curl before you shoot out the door.
3. A Little Slick of Lipstick

You might think it's impossible to give yourself much of a manicure very quickly, but it is if you have the right supplies. All you have to do is take a minute to push back your cuticles when you get out of the shower. Then, using either a quick drying clear polish or a quick drying colored one, you can give yourself at least one coat for a great look, and let it dry while you're doing something else.
5. Touch up Your Lower Lashes

Actually, this involves a touch up to your lower eyelids. If you're looking tired, all you need to do is trace a light colored line along your lower lashes. Then, in the inner most corner, using a white pencil, a light silver, or something like that, give yourself a little V shape. That will take care of that tired, puffy look!
6. Use a Primer
