Looking fabulous shouldn't't take so much time and effort.  If you're a busy girl who still wants to look smokin' hot, here is your guide to looking sexy in a flash.

Makeover 1:  Get curvier in 2 minutes

Wish your "ant hills" were more like "Mt. Everest"?  Maximize your cleavage by investing in a contour bra.  Select one that has thing padding and provides upward support.  Just make sure the bra fits!  A bra that is too small will create unflattering lines around the back, under the arms, and on top of the bust.

If you wish to add curves to your bottom half, wear boy-leg undies.  They sit low on your hips and have more fabric to cover the upper thighs.  This will enhance narrow hips while creating a tighter-looking, more rounded backside.

Makeover 2:  Widen your eyes in 7 minutes

Wide eyes make you look younger, more energetic, and more approachable.  To get them, try this trick.

Apply individual faux lashes in the center of the top lids, then apply two coats of mascara.  This will really open your eyes up and make them pop!

Makeover 3:  Fake a French manicure in 5 minutes

Simply massage cuticle oil onto nail beds to camouflage dry skin.  Next, run a white nail pencil, like Sally Hansen 2-in-1 Nail White Pencil, available at drug stores under the rims of nails.  You'll instantly look like you have a French manicure.

Makeover 4:  Fake sculpted arms in 4 minutes

Do three sets of 10 push-ups resting 60 seconds between each set.  This will increase blood flow so you arms will appear temporarily firmer.  Models use this trick at photo shoots!

Makeover 5:  Look taller instantly in less than a minute

Mother knows best!  Hunching over makes you look frumpy.  People with good posture get noticed.  The easiest and fastest way to improve the appearance of your entire body is to practice perfect posture.  When you stand up straight you appear taller and thinner.  Be conscious all day of keeping your shoulder blades back and drawing your belly button in towards the back of your spine.

Sure a day at the spa speaks volumes when it comes to beauty, but these simple tricks can be done before you even leave your house in the morning.  Not only will your mirror thank you, but so will your mind and spirit.
