It s holiday season, and unless your job is to attend parties (hey, good for you!), then you know that there isn t always time to leisurely put on your makeup and do your hair while sitting at your vanity, carefully DJing your beauty prep ritual. It s more like: Slip into heels, flag down a cab, try to apply lipstick at the stoplight, and then leap through a spritz of perfume on the sidewalk before making your entrance. The exact methods may vary, but just about everyone has their own quick way of mastering the day-to-night transition in a hurry. In the spirit of sharing, we asked eight Vogue editors to reveal their tricks for getting ready for a festive event in less than one minute. From tying a black silk ribbon into a worn-in daytime ponytail to putting on a couple of fake lashes at the corners of the eyes, here s how they do it.
