By the time most of us moms roll into work, we have already completed what often feels like an entire day’s work.

There are breakfasts to be made, itchy tags to be removed, half-chewed sneakers to be unearthed from the dog’s kennel and if we try to squeeze in a workout? Well, let’s just say there isn’t a ton of time left over for a beauty routine.

That doesn’t mean you can’t look fab anyway. Here are a few style hacks that we’re sharing with you today so you can put some dash into your morning dash.


1. Wear glasses. Think of them as liposuction for your under eye bags.

Not only do they instantly erase eye bags, they also cover up a substantial enough portion of your face that makeup seems almost superfluous.

Just slap on a bold red lip and you’re good to go.


2. Get long, side swept bangs.

This way, when you throw your hair into the inevitable midweek pony, you still have a look.

Treat that hairline fringe to a few squeezes of a vertically held curling iron and you‘ll look like you just stepped out of a fashion magazine.


3. Master the “two-toed pedi.” It’s open-toe sandal season:

Are your toes up to the task? Instead of attempting to do a full pedicure before you leave the house (a decision that inevitably ends with nail polish smeared inside your shoes) try using a gel polish kit to paint only the two toes that are visible in open-toe sandals.


4. Create a personal lookbook.

Whenever you put together an outfit you really love, snap a picture with your phone.

Though it may take a little effort on the front end, this trick will save you countless hours (and messes) in the long run.
