We've all been there. You come home extremely tired from work or school and there is a big party (or even bigger, a special date!) to go to and you've got literally 5 minutes to pull together a look that says "It took me an hour to look this amazing!".

| With this dress at hand, how long would it take you to copy her style? |
How are you going to do it? Granted actually having that full hour will result in a much better look than measly 5 minutes - hey, we're not gonna lie to you - but when push comes to a shove, a girl's got to do what a girl in a rush has got to do! popPRETTY put together this list to fake results to make it look like you were ready and looking gorgeous half an hour before your date showed up!
Try these looks when you're in a rush but looking like you took your time primping:
#1 Braid your hair or, better yet, learn how to french braid. French braiding to beginners might sound like something professionals or people with a lot of time can manage but with a little practice and a lot of confidence you can do it. French braiding is very easy. Repeat after us, "French braiding is easy and too lovely to pass up!" It instantly gives your hair a classy allure that looks a million times less rushed (and boring) than a typical ponytail!
#2 Stick with only one feature to accentuate with makeup and make that feature pop. Swipe on red lipstick (or your favorite bright shade and wear minimal eye makeup).
Or switch it up and wear nude lipstick and focus on a more dramatic eye makeup. This way you only focus on carefully applying makeup on one facial feature while the rest is kept low-key and save you time.
For example, sporting a winged eyeliner look and putting on minimal face powder and lip gloss will automatically make you look like you spent more time on your makeup than you actually did.

#3 Rock a ponytail but with a glamorous twist. Ponytails will always be every girl's go-to hairstyle when the clock's ticking fast. But you can sport it without looking like you had no time nor care to be pretty.
You can do this by creating a high ponytail and keeping your strands as sleek as can be by using mousse on the top of your head. With your hair pulled back and looking ballerina pretty, whatever facial feature you choose to accentuate will stand out more than with your hair down.
Sport this type of ponytail and dab on face powder and your favorite lip gloss or black eyeliner. Your lips or eyes will attract attention more than ever!

#4 Slip into your favorite dress. Nothing makes a woman look sexier than when she's wearing her favorite dress. You've worn this piece a dozen times given it's the dress you love the most in the world so being self-conscious can easily be tossed aside. You know how to move in it and you most probably already know the perfect shoes and bag to go with it.

So when your date is at your door and you barely have 5 minutes to get ready because your loveable boss called for a ton of extra work today, slip into that favorite outfit and your confidence in it will make you stand out more than any new makeup tip can!
Also, any flattering dress is a time saver. A woman in a dress needs minimal work on hair and makeup since the dress is the centerpiece. Well, next to you that is!
