When it is time to get ready for the prom or any special event you are anxious to find whatever short cuts you can. It is important to find all of the short cuts you can in order to relieve any stress you may incur from having to rush to get ready. Little things such as choosing a hair style on which you can sleep can save you a great deal of preparation time, especially if you are attending a prom after a full day at school and don't have the time to go to the hair salon at the end of the day. Anything you can do to save time will allow you to enjoy the event more because you will not have to rush to get ready. Any corners you are able to cut in order to reduce the time you need to get ready will allow you to enjoy the night more when it begins free of stress.

For makeup, if you want a sheer look just add a small dot of light reflective base to your foundation before applying. For an all day color on your lips, stain them with a rosy-pink shade and then apply lip-gloss. This will prevent the lip-gloss from smudging and will keep it in place all day and night. You can also use a ceramic-barreled brush in order to distribute heat quickly through your hair thus saving drying time. By doing this you will also give it a smoother finish. Another hair tip that will help you be on your way quickly is to take large sections of hair and use a styling spray to spritz it while you wrap it around large barrel tongs. This will give you a sexy look that makes it look like you just got out of bed.

The nails are not without their share of cheats beginning with placing your fingernails in a lemon for a few moments. The citric acid will provide the nails with a natural French manicure. Instead of repainting chipped nails, take a pointed tip cotton swab and dip it into nail polish remover, and use this solution to smooth out the surface of the chip and then repaint just that area. When you are finished, apply a top coat to the entire nail. This process certainly saves a great deal of time compared to having to remove the polish from the entire nail and repaint it. Unless you do a perfect job, the color is likely to be just a little bit off, so you will probably end up having to repaint all of your nails. This is unlikely to happen if you are just repainting the chipped portion of your nail instead of repainting the entire nail.
