2 Skip the blow-dryer. Mist salt spray on damp hair, twist into a bun, then shake out when dry for loose waves.
3 Dry freshly painted nails fast by dunking them into ice-cold (but not ice-filled!) water.
4 Store makeup in a clear case so you can find what you need faster.
5 Moisturize in the shower. New lotions are made to be used on wet skin, and they sink in quickly.
6 To highlight in a hurry, apply one of your light, shimmery eye shadows

8 Messproof a DIY mani by swiping lip balm along your cuticles first. It creates a barrier so polish doesn’t get onto skin.
