high speed beauty: top 10 quick tips

1 Stay close to your natural hair colour – this means less upkeep is necessary. Consider a semi-permanent colour, which is incredibly easy to apply at home.
2 Long layers grow out beautifully and are easy to style, especially when pulled back in a pony.
3 If you have a high-maintenance hair type, have a salon blow-dry once a week and then top up with dry shampoo.
4 Keep a straightener, elastics and headscarf in your desk drawer for any bad-hair-day emergencies.
5 Have a power shower. Stock it with a cleanser and a clay mask, which is great to leave on for a few minutes while you shave. Swap conditioner for a treatment every few washes.
6 Smooth on gradual tanner at night. It’s a cinch to apply and you’re tanning and moisturising at the same time.
7 Keep an SOS kit in your handbag: mirror, tweezers, powder, nail file. You’ll always find a few spare minutes in the day for a quick beauty check.
8 Keep make-up light during the day. It will last well and be easy to build on later if you’re going out. Go for cream-based products that are easy to apply with fingers.
9 When getting ready for an evening out, concentrate on a fabulous lip or a statement eye.
10 Never seem to find the time to hit the nail bar? Make it part of your regular catch-up time with a girlfriend, so you can groom and gossip at once.
