Ideally, it's fun to have an hour or two to prep for a party. In fact, it's nice to turn on the stereo and sip a glass of wine while you stroll leisurely through your beauty routine.

More realistically, you are flying in the door from a 9 hour work day, stuffing a bagel in your mouth as you run back out the door with mismatching socks on.

That's okay; that's life, full of more demanding priorities and obligations that push those leisure beauty routines to the side.

While there may be no way to shove an extra hour or two onto the 24 hour clock, there are some easily adopted, quick fix beauty tricks that can get you party pretty in a hurry.

Follow these beauty tips to look like a million bucks in a flash.

Play up your eye makeup; especially mascara. Nothing brightens up a face or party look like a striking pair of eyelashes.

To gain the benefit of a set of thick eyelashes, apply 1-2 coats of extra mascara onto your already dried coat from earlier in the morning (assuming you've been wearing makeup all day long).

A swipe of eyeliner also plays up a dramatic makeup look that's sure to be a winner with any party look.

Let your hair down, or, pull your hair up; take the way you've worn your hair all day long, and do the opposite with it.

If you've been wearing it down all day, it's likely flat.

If you've been wearing it up or in a bun all day, it's likely going to be full of body and bounce.

Switching up your hairstyle from the rest of the day will surely feel refreshing to you, and it will likely be the most flattering beauty look.

Spray a light perfume or body spray on; a sure quick pick-me-up and a sign that you're done with the working day!

Apply a lip balm or gloss that's playful and flattering for your complexion.

Between the lip balm and the mascara, you'll have created an understated, classic beauty look that isn't overwhelming or dependent on a mask of beauty product.

Add an accessory to your outfit that is bold in color. If you've been working the 9-5 shift all week and you finally get a break from your gray and black suits, play up your party outfit with a splash of color.

All it takes is a bright piece of jewelry or a colorful scarf, and you will have brightened your whole outfit in a hurry.

Getting that quick beauty fix before you leave the house or after a long working day can leave you refreshed for a night of fun out on the town.

Just don't overdo the look, as natural classic beauty is better than anything else!

Now you're party pretty; just make sure your socks match before you leave the house!
