It's pretty remarkable what some people can do in under ten minutes: somersault 29 times on skis (Christian Rijavec in Austria); swallow 552 oysters (champion speed-eater Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas); plant 51 kisses on a king cobra (Malaysian snake charmer Shahimi Abdul Hamid). So why, after all these years, do we still find it so difficult to pull off a smooth blowout or evening makeup in the same amount of time?

We enlisted a team of experts to help us accomplish these beauty feats and moreand maybe even break a few Guinness records of our own at the bathroom mirror.

PUT ON YOUR GAME FACE

Three easy makeup looks guaranteed to help you get out the doorand to the officeon time.

GET GLOWING

Apply tinted moisturizer and concealer where needed. Brush bronzer over your forehead, your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and the center of your neck. Rub a rosy cream on lips and cheeks. Then rim your top lids with brown liner and add mascara to lashes. "This will accentuate your eyeswithout shadow," says makeup artist Bobbi Brown.
