But it's important to still carve out some time for yourself. We all know you deserve it! A fun idea to get you out of your nightly routine and distract you from your packed schedule is to have a date night. We're going to break down three simple tutorials that will get your face, eyes, and hair ready for your next date without sacrificing time or quality — because the easier, the faster, the better.

Apply a cream foundation to the cheekbones, sweeping upward and outward. Using a long-wearing foundation that goes on smooth, blends seamlessly, and feels lightweight makes everything look fresh and flawless all night long.

The key to achieving a flawless look is to apply concealer under your eyes and blend outward. To guarantee the effect is as natural as possible, make sure you have the right shade for your skin tone. Compact makeup can appear slightly darker in the package, so to find the right shade, match your skin to the concealer.
Finding the perfect concealer to match your foundation can be difficult, so use a product like Revlon ColorStay™ 2-in-1 Compact Makeup and Concealer that features a perfectly paired cream makeup with complementing concealer, expertly matched to be one shade lighter than the makeup.

Apply a liquid eyeliner to the edge of the index card. What's great is that you don't have to worry about having an unsteady hand because the card is there to help you. Don't worry if there are a few small uneven areas. It's simple to clean up the surrounding eye area if needed. Dab a Q-tip into the concealer to smooth out any eyeliner mess.

Step 1: Part Your Hair in Sections & Curl

Start by putting the front of your hair into two high ponytail sections and securing with rubber bands. If you're worried the rubber bands might crease the hair, feel free to leave them loose. Next, pull the crown of your head into one section, and finish by securing the remaining hair on the back of your head. You should end up with four sections.
Using a one-inch barrel, curl one section at a time while you keep the other sections divided and out of the way. At the end, remove the hair ties, shake out your ponytails, and you'll have natural-looking, voluminous waves.
