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.

Cover Up Those Dark Circles For a Flawless Face

Every mom has those seemingly endless weeks where the only thing you aren't doing is getting enough beauty sleep. That's why learning how to cover up your dark circles will be life-changing. Here's how you can create a flawless look that's date night ready.

Step 1: Apply Foundation To Cheekbones

Step 1: Apply Foundation To Cheekbones

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.

Step 2: Apply Concealer To Cover Up Dark Circles Under Eyes

Step 2: Apply Concealer To Cover Up Dark Circles Under Eyes

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.

Master the 5-Minute Cat Eye

You don't have to spend all night in front of the mirror trying to get your cat eye just right. You can create a sultry lid in just a few minutes, every time.

Step 1: Position Paper at the Corner of Eye

Grab an index card from your kid's school supplies, and hold it up to your lids at an angle.

Step 2: Apply Eyeliner

Step 2: Apply Eyeliner

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 3: Add Mascara

Curl Your Hair in a Flash

Your hair might be a bit sloppy after a long, busy day, but it's easy to style it in time for your date. This simple curling routine will only take a few minutes, but the results will make people think otherwise.

Step 1: Part Your Hair in Sections & Curl

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.
