Reached home from office at 8 pm and have to rush for an evening get together? Or did your ears refused to listen to the morning alarm? Hardly any time left to get ready? Is it possible to look your best and be ready to go in just 15 minutes?

Avoiding makeup altogether would be the easy way out, but then you do not want people to bother you with "are you not well today?" reminding you of how you might be looking without make-up!

Makeup doesn’t just make you look better but also helps protects your skin from environmental hazards, besides giving you a healthy radiance. Most makeup products these days are also skin care products that actually work to look after your skin throughout the day!

And if it's only 15 minutes you have to spare for yourself each morning, and most evenings, there is a way to make every minute count and still look your best. Here's how:

Cleanse and lightly apply your favorite moisturizer mixed with a dab of glowtion - that is a skin illuminator designed to make you glow but not sparkle.

Apply a fluid foundation with your fingertips and blend around your jaw line.

Press powder into your skin with puff, and brush off excess with a brush. This gives your makeup, the staying power it needs for a whole day.

Use a squirt of eye drops in the morning, to instantly brighten your sleepy eyes.

Now, apply one coat of colored lip gloss for soft, natural lips with a healthy shine.

After your face is done, the next area that demands your attention is your hair. If your hair is a wreck early in the morning or after the day’s work, try holding your head upside down and brushing vigorously.

This easy makeup will give you a flawless, light finish. So, all set to flatter your colleagues at office or friends at the evening party?
