Pretty and poised in minutes: Try winged eyeliner, red lips and a side-curled ponytail

Jumping on a video conference call in 10 minutes? Look your best with this classic makeup look and a side ponytail curled to perfection. Winged eyeliner and bright red lipstick are both personable and professional, as well as quick to apply. A curly side ponytail is just as easy to pull together and radiates charm.
A polished appearance doesn’t necessarily require a lot of time. Even with limited time or patience, anyone can master this look. If you struggle to create symmetrical eyeliner, first draw an outline of the shape by making small dots with the tip of your liner. Then, simply connect the dots, and fill it in.

Instructions
1. With your fingertips, massage primer into your face until it's absorbed.
2. Apply a few lines of foundation to your cheeks, forehead, nose and chin. Blend it in with a foundation brush and short, quick strokes to provide fullest coverage.
3. Apply a few lines of concealer under your eyes, down your nose, above your Cupid’s bow and on your chin. Draw a triangle between your brows. Blend it in.
4. With a powder brush, stipple powder beneath your eyes and on your eyelids.
5. With a bronzer brush, sweep bronzer along your cheekbones and around your hairline.
6. Stipple blush onto the apples of your cheeks.
7. With liquid eyeliner, draw a line angled up from the corner of your eye to create the wing. Draw a second line from the end of the first that angles down toward the middle of your lash line. Fill in the eyeliner all the way to the inner corner of your eye.
8. Load brow cream onto an angled brush, and follow the lower edge of your brow with the brush. Fill in your brows as needed.
9. Apply bright red liquid lipstick, being careful to line your lips as you go.
10. Apply mascara onto your upper lashes.
11. Curl your hair with a large-barrel curling iron. Aim for loose waves instead of tight curls.
12. Pull your hair into a side ponytail, and secure with a hair tie. Leave a few pieces of hair loose in front.
