Hair and makeup shortcuts: 6 Beauty Panel tips for perfecting the lazy-girl morning routine

by FASHION Staff August 14, 2014

Let’s face it, as much as summer should be a restful few months, that’s rarely ever the case. Between work, heading to the beach and running errands on the weekends, there really isn’t much time to breathe, so taking our time with hair and makeup is essentially out of the question. However, thanks to endless celebrity beauty inspiration and summer festivals and events, the list of trends we want to try is longer than ever. So what’s a lazy girl to do? Fear not because we obviously have a solution (don’t we always?). This week we asked Beauty Panel to share their hair and makeup shortcuts and let us know how they achieve an effortless look that takes no time at all.

When it comes to a summertime lazy beauty routine, a multifunctional product is the answer. My Beauty Box’s Ellie Somfelean and Twenty York Street’s Marilou Moles are both big believers in reaching for their go-to BB and CC creams for a lightweight and quick solution to skin care issues. Our newest member Ashley Pettigrew of Lions Lace Lattes is all about skipping the time-consuming basics (see ya, foundation) and opting for easy alternatives. Still unsure as to where to cut time? Gerry Xun of The Bunnie Hole leaves us with a few wise words (and tips!). The key to a quick makeup look is picking out your key feature, adding a pop of colour and then balancing the rest of your makeup with a few enhancing touches.
