After a relaxing weekend spent watching TV re-runs and attending social ‘dos, no one looks forward to the chaos of Monday mornings—including looking your best in under 15 minutes—or even less time if you’re in a super rush mode! Here’s our little cheat list to making it out of the house in time, and in rockin’ Queen Bey’s fabulousness.

1. Scrub-A-Dub-Dub:

Indulge in a little exfoliation ritual on Sunday nights before you hit the sack—this will save you heaps of time and stress on Monday morning! Your skin will feel smooth and healthy besides looking brighter and dewy fresh. You’ll spend less time on make-up because you’ll barely need any. For a DIY exfoliation recipe, try mixing brown sugar and honey or oatmeal with honey—they won’t cause any allergic reactions.

2. Perfect Eyeliner Artistry:

Every liner-loving girl knows the blood, sweat and pain that goes into achieving the perfect eyeliner—it will always turn out crooked, get smudged, or just helps you give Dracula’s dark circles some serious competition.

If your free time is spent in activities other than practicing liner technique in front of the mirror, here’s the time-saving, fail-proof hack for you: Use a post-it stencil (cut it out in cat-eye template or any other that you like) to create the perfect line on your eyes every single time.

Caution: Beware of errant boyfriends, pets and vacuum cleaners while doing this.

3. Get #InstaCurls:

Bad hair days top the list of early morning nightmares for most of us. You don’t have time to wash your limp locks, and a scruffy top knot just doesn’t work for you. Do this: Tie your hair into a high ponytail. Use your hair tong to quickly curl the ends of your hair—separate it into 4-5 sections. Now open up your hair and run a brush through it. You’ll have salon tresses in under 5 minutes!

4. Make That Blowout Last:

Blowouts: Everybody loves them, everybody splurges on them, and then they disappear in a flash. Make yours last longer by rolling your hair into a looped bun and pinning it up before you get into bed. Unroll your hair in the morning for a day of glamourous beachy waves—zero time needed.

To make a looped bun that protects the ends of your hair from falling flat, wrap your hair loosely around your hair to create a bun and then keep it in place using bobby pins. style=”line-height: 1.7; font-size: 1rem;”>

5. Cleanse Before Bedtime:

No matter how tired you are at the end of the day, you need to take that make-up off before you snooze. This will prevent breakouts and infections, and save you from looking like the Joker’s protégé the next morning.

Getting rid of smudged mascara at 7 am will always leave your face looking raw and unsightly. Too lazy to go to the sink at night? Stash the make-up remover and cotton pads next to your bed—for lazy emergencies only.

6. Wiggle The Mascara Brush:

You can’t be bothered with falsies during your speedy make-up routine, but you know your lashes are dying for attention, so do this: while applying mascara, wiggle the brush from the roots of your lashes to the tips. This ensures extra product application to create a lush, full effect.  Total time: 1 minute.

7. Keep That Bun In Place:

Bobby pins have a sneaky habit of falling out and disappearing. Save yourself a hair-tumbling-open-in-an-important-meeting moment and apply a little hairspray on your pins before using them—this will keep the suckers in place for good and save your precious time in the morning.
