Angela Kinsey from one of the funniest sbows on TV, The Office, knows how to work the red carpet. She also knows how to get ready in a pinch when time is a ticking! We got our hands on her top beauty tips:

1. Pick a light-colored nail polish for your manicure—not only does it dry faster, but if it chips before the big night, it’s less noticeable. Try and do your nails the day before so wet nails won’t be an issue on event night. (I always abide by this. Nothing worse than bright red chipped nail polish.)

2. Skip the false lashes and try a great lengthening mascara like CoverGirl LashBlast Length.

3. Choose a long lasting lip color—only one application and it lasts the whole night, all you need is a glossy touch up! (I’ve been wanting to try a lip tint…heard it stays on all day)

4. Make sure your roots are kept at bay – for busy gals like myself, try coloring your hair at-home with Nice ‘n Easy the week of the event to brighten your look and ensure shiny color.

5. EAT! On event day, choose something light but filling so you’ll still feel like your fabulous self when you get into your evening attire.
