How do you do it ?

I am in awe of these women too.
I started doing my hair at night sometimes, straighten and curl it then shower cap in the morning. That's about all I got.

Maybe practice your makeup and hair on a non work days and see how long it takes you to get the look you want.
I'm pretty happy with basic that takes very little time.

I see women in the morning on my way to work, full make up & hair like they just stepped out a Disney film. I was thinking to myself what time in the morning must they wake up? I get up @ 7am, sit with my tea & wake up. Then I just have time to get my clothes on, brush my teeth, basic makeup & comb my hair. Check my bags to make sure I have everything & prepare my sandwich for work. Then by 8 am im out the door.

I want to start making more effort with my hair n makeup but just don't know when id have the time. I would maybe have to wake up about 6am, 6:30 am. Looks like id have to sacrifice sleep but don't know if I'm gona do that lol

Sometimes I shower.....

I wake up an hour before the kids do so I can be ready first. Once they're awake, I barely have time to throw my pants on.

Kinda in this boat. I am up at 4:15 to 4:45 to pump and get ready before the kid gets up. I do my makeup almost every day but I am pretty minimalist w it. Just eyeliner and mascara. My jobs a little strange and I have to take showers there most days so I don't shower too much at home anymore to try to not dry my skin and hair out like crazy.

Good idea. Think I'm needing to splash some cash on new make up I'm wearing stuff that's like 2 years old. Think I will watch some YouTube videos for makeup tips, I'm rubbish at makeup n hair.

I imagine it'll take longer at first while you are learning.

I read an article somewhere that timed 3 women doing makeup in the morning and they were 5-10 minutes. What I noticed is that each woman focused on one area most and left other stuff simple. Like one was eye makeup and another was eyebrows and skin care and not much else. Their routine is also something they have been doing for years so they can do it more quickly I imagine.
I remember comments on the article suggesting people took longer... like 15 minutes to an hour to do hair and makeup but they were factoring in things like shower, skin care, hair drying.

When it comes to hair figuring a way to wear it overnight so it looks ok in the am was a game changer for me. I have strait hair thats longish and layered, so if I put it in a lose low ponytail or french braid at night 95% of the time it keeps it from smushing funny or kinking from the band. Then I just brush out and go. I may just be lucky and have cooperative hair though.
