Whether you're an independent woman (per Beyoncé) or an A-lister, there isn't much time in the day to completely redo your a.m. beauty regimen.
From
the beginning of your work day to VIP lunch dates to drinks with
co-workers, you've got to look good from the time you walk out of the
door to the moment to reenter. But, looking effortlessly fresh for more
than eight hours is no easy feat.
If anyone knows a thing or two
about staying camera-ready, it's celebrities. Their schedules are packed
with events, photo ops and important meetings, all of which require
them to look their best. Sure, celebs like Tracee Ellis Ross and Bella Hadid have
glam squads to help them out. But, ask anyone involved with celebrity
beauty and they'll mention a few hero products that make a.m. to p.m.
beauty a lot easier.

Morning
Whether your morning routine is five minutes or two
hours, there are few things you need to make sure whatever you put on
lasts as long as possible. Olivia Palermo looks perfect under the French
sun, and most likely used the products below for her dewy, morning
glow.
Suncreen
Although this won't necessarily keep your makeup intact,
it will prevent your skin from sun exposure and premature
aging. Wearing a product that's SPF 30, at minimum, and reapplying
throughout the day is a must.
Try:
PCA Skin Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum SPF 30, $35
Setting Spray
What's the use of creating the perfect makeup look if
it's going to crease a few hours later. Using both primer and makeup
setting spray will give your makeup a fighting chance against the
elements (i.e. the summer heat).
Try:
Glamglow Glowsetter Makeup Setting Spray, $16
Frizz Control
Tight curls, sleek and straight hair, beach waves—no
matter the texture or style of your hair, the goal is to keep it looking
the same throughout the day. Without an anti-humidity agent or holding
spray, you're basically letting the environment take control of your
tresses—not a good idea. Before you leave, spray your hair with a frizz
control to get rid of flyways and keeping your style intact (especially
if you've used heat to style your hair).

Macademia Anti-Humidity Finishing Spray, $14.84

Afternoon
By lunchtime, you're probably not as fresh as you were in the a.m. But, what if you've got a
Bella Hadid-level
schedule that includes meetings with French fashion hard hitters (or
maybe just lunch with your cute coworker)? Here are the products you can
use to revert back to your morning glow.
Boscia
If you have oily skin, chances are your summer glow
got a bit too shiny through the morning. Pro tip: Keep these small pads
in your purse to get decrease the amount of oil on your skin in less
than a minute.
Try:
Boscia Charcoal Blotting Linens, $10
Makeup Setting Spray With SPF
Since you're probably not going to wash your face in the
middle of the day, you can combine reappyling sunscreen and resetting
your makeup with this product. Simply spritz on top your existing makeup
and you're ready for an afternoon of good food, great company and
flawless makeup.
Try:
Kate Somerville UncompliKated SPF 50 Soft Focus Makeup Setting Spray, $38
Facial Mist
Hot days ahead? A great facial spray will get you
through any heat wave. The refreshed feeling from rose extracts will
soothe the skin, keep you cool and leave a pleasant scent.
Try:
Shiva Rose Radiant Rose Water, $52.50

Evening
If you don't have time to re-do your makeup for your
evening plans, don't worry, these products will offer the sophistication
of the nighttime without too much time spent. Tracee Ellis Ross is p.m.
beauty goals with natural-looking makeup and a bold lip. Keep reading
for the products that will update your daytime look.
Smoky Eye Makeup Palette (or Statement Lipstick)
Instead of trying to rethink your entire look, adding a
smoky eye or a bold lip will give you nighttime flare in five minutes or
less. Using a
domed eyeshadow brush,
blend a darker hue into the corner of your eye and the crease to smoke
out your current eye makeup. This will add dimension and sensuality to
your look. Or, you can cut down your prep time, and add a bold lip like
Devious from bareMinerals.
Try:
Urban Decay Naked Palette, $54
Setting Spray
After you're done refreshing, don't forget to set your makeup again. You'll be selfie-ready all night long.
Try:
Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray, $31
Moisturizing Hair Spray
If you're rocking your natural texture, per Tracee, try
keeping a nourishing hair spray close by throughout the day. This will
keep your curls bouncing and refreshed.
Try:
Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Nourishing and Conditioning Refresher Spray, $11
Now you're ready to take on the day!
