You know how I was talking about beauty time-savers yesterday? Well, I have one more suggestion:

False eyelashes.

I know, you're all, "Jordan, crazy girl...false eyelashes are not a trick for those in search of speed, they are a totally indulgent and time-consuming to-do"...but stay with me for a second, here.

It's true: until you get used to the process false eyelashes are more glue-everywhere than glamorous. But once you figure them out, they're on and busy making you look totally going-out-worthy in thirty seconds. Maybe a minute. And if you add them to the basic makeup shown in my New Mama Makeup Tutorial, they're really all you need to look pretty and pulled-together, and just a little bit spectacular. Sure, if you're feeling fancy you can always add on smoky eyes, red lips, et cetera et cetera...but if you have incredible lashes, you (or at least I) just feel done. Sexy. Just a little bit spectacular.
