I've got 30 mins to get ready to go out. What would your priorities be?

I've had a shower so that doesn't count.

Hair drying? Straightening? Skin stuff?

Can you tell I'm sitting here putting off getting ready??

Make up, perfume and clothes, my hair could air dry fine on the way.

Put some clothes on ?

AmeliaEarache · 27/09/2024 17:56

Clean and dry hair
Perfume
Lipstick
Where the hell did I last shove my bra? (Often under a cushion)

Normallynumb · 27/09/2024 17:56

Hair, concealer, lipstick, perfume.

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 27/09/2024 17:56

If I was showered and dressed. Ruffle hair, chuck some mouse in. Lipstick. G&T.

Hair would be my priority, make up can be done quickly when you're out if you've got lovely hair that's what everyone will see.

Anywherebuthere · 27/09/2024 18:01

Fix face, hair, perfume, find the right comfy footwear

Definately wouldn't be on MN, time is precious!

ArabellaFishwife · 27/09/2024 18:05

Straighten hair, clean teeth, clothes, bit of slap, shoes. Half an hour is ample as long as my hair's washed and dried already, as it takes a long time to subdue its natural...exuberance.

JMAngel1 · 27/09/2024 18:18

I have 45 mins and am sat in a coma on Mumsnet as shattered from work and really don’t want to go!
I’m going to have a cold shower to perk me up and do a face massage/slap as I look so grey and saggy!! I washed my hair this morning and kind of know what I’m wearing. Quick makeup - feel like the less the better when I look this tired. I’ll apply some clear nail polish in the Uber 😂

have a good night OP

You have one bra?

GigiAnnna · 27/09/2024 20:42

Make up, quickly blow dry hair, get dressed. Enough time.

Redcrayons · 27/09/2024 20:46

Out out - straighten my hair, make up, get dressed.

AmeliaEarache · 27/09/2024 20:52

bumpitty · 27/09/2024 20:39

You have one bra?

I have two. A black one and a pale one. Not that I can remember where the black one is either, but I'm confident that it's downstairs somewhere.

This comes of taking a bra off the second I get home and shoving it somewhere out of sight. Bloody awful things.

I know it's old post but thought it was fun to answer tbh lol
For me it would be foundation and eyebrows defo and running straightener over my hair

I woudlnt have fun if I'd only a half hour haha I take about 3 hours to get ready assuming its a night out , i like my hair curled pinned back combed all my body highlight done , false lashes can take me ages to get right , I'm the full face of makeup type of person

Daughn · 25/05/2025 21:44

OK. I'll join in. I refresh foundation with a kubuki brush, tightline eyes, extra mascara, then a bit of red lipstick.
I have a bob with a fringe, so tuck my hair behind my ears. freshen up the fringe, pop some earrings on and I'm good to go. 10 mins max

EveryOtherNameTaken · 25/05/2025 21:47

Rough hairdry, make up, perfume. Maybe add some jewellery.

For me lipstick is the thing that makes me feel ready most of all.

MellowPinkDeer · 25/05/2025 21:48

I could literally get in the shower , wash dry straighten my hair do my make up and get dressed in 30 minutes so I don’t see your issue.

Tooty78 · 25/05/2025 21:56

Hair, if that is right everything else falls into place.
