Quick Desk-To-Date Beauty Hacks

Short on time? Escape from the office and transform from desk to date night within minutes with these quick and simple beauty hacks.

Desk-to-date probably looks a little different for you at the minute, but whether you’ve scheduled an exciting, digital first date, date night is now located within your kitchen or you have just received the dreaded work email (“let’s jump on a call to chat!”) you can equip yourself with these fool-proof ideas to turn things round quickly – from hair shoved in a bun to a put together pro!

 

 

Prep yourself

When there is no time to reapply (or apply!) your base, keep it easy by touching up with delilah Take Cover Radiant Cream Concealer were you need it. Light reflecting pigments will brighten your skin while buildable coverage will hide any imperfections that you don’t want to reveal. A fail safe way to look polished and put together in just a few minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feeling sun starved?

Give yourself a wash of colour and warmth with Jane Iredale Pure Pressed Blush to instantly lift and brighten the face with just a few sweeps. Disguise the fact you have been hidden indoors and not seen any sun for the past year! The soft shimmering finish gives a flattering dewy glow and the buildable colour lets up adjust the finish to just how you like it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Create piercing eyes

Evening events call for dramatic lashes, but applying another coat over your morning mascara is always a recipe for clumpy disaster. Instead of adding more, further emphasize your eyes with a fine-point eyeliner, like delilah Gel Brow and Eye Line, to tightline both upper and lower lids. Swipe it directly along the water line, working it in between lashes. The effect is subtle but sultry, and the easiest way to fake a fresh face.

 

 

 

 

 

Brow Game

Nothing says groomed like a perfectly shaped brow. Effortlessly frame those piercing eyes with Revitalash Hi-Def Tinted Brow Gel. Cheat full, bold brows or define what you already have quick and easily by brushing the product softly through brow hairs. You can expect fluffy brows and lasting hold without the stickiness.

 

 

 

 

 

Instant pick-me-up

A bold lipstick is a transformation in a bottle; taking your look from day to night instantly with very little effort. To keep the pigment in place, apply one coat of Jane Iredale Beyond Matte Lip Fixation Lip Stain first, and then gently blot with a tissue. This removes any excess oil and moisture that can interfere with the lipstick's adhesion, but also won't remove any pigment. Top with another layer of colour for maximum impact—and you're off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smooth it out

Not touched the heat appliances for a little while in the hope that it will let you go that bit longer without a hair appointment? Finish things off with a few drops of Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil. Smooth through your locks to instantly transform them to their former glory. Expect the ultimate shine, reduction in flyaways and extra vibrancy. If you like to plan ahead, you could up the ante by using global cult product Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector beforehand to create results like no other.
