Here are some links that can help with hair updos, scarves and makeup that are quick to do and can last all day.
SCARVES
I've never been good at tying scarves but I learned a lot from the video tutorials below. There are from airlines around the world and here in the U.S. Frequently I just use a little scarf ring to tie mine. I bought it on Amazon and here's a link to that.

HAIR
Quite a few airlines require longer hair to be put up, either in a bun or a pony tail. Honestly, I prefer to wear my hair down and at my airline we no longer have to wear it up unless you have really long hair, which I don't. But when I do wear it up I've found that special accessories work best for me. Here or some I've used or are currently using.
Here are some helpful hair tutorials:
Basically I find simplicity always works best. Find a way of tying your scarf and doing your hair that is easy and will last the day. I think most of these tutorials above can help you find that.
Just as compressed powder makeup doesn't travel well, liquid shampoo and conditioner can also cause a mess. I used to always travel with the small 3 oz sized bottles but every once in a while I would fail to tight the cap enough and find a mess in my bag later. So now I use the bar versions. I use the Viori brand. I just put mine in a ziploc bag and seal it tight. But you can also put them in standard travel soap containers.
MAKEUP
I'm NOT a morning person. So when I have a super early report time in the morning, or maybe I have to catch an early commute, it's going to be the easiest thing I can do. Yes, that means usually my hair is down or, if I'm having a bad hair day, I'm pony-tailing it. I'll sometimes use a fake bun hair piece to make an easy updo. As for makeup, same thing applies. Over the years I've been flying I discovered that powdered blush and eye shadows don't always travel so well. I can't tell you how many times I've opened my makeup bag to discover blush or eye shadow smashed and all over everything in my bag. UGH!! I also found that using stick makeup not only doesn't do that, it's also super easy to apply. Now I carry with me stick foundation, stick blush, stick concealer, stick contour and stick eye shadow sticks. So easy! The eye shadow and concealer sticks I use have little tiny sponges on the end for blending. I lay them all out the night before so I don't waste time searching through my bag for the right items. Below I'll list some links to items I use. They're affordable as well.
Palladio Build & Blend Foundation Stick
KIMUSE Multi Stick Trio Face Makeup
Those are just a few of the ones I've used. I've used other brands and have purchased at other stores in person such as Target, Walmart or Ulta. They come in many shades for all skin types and tones. I highly recommend.
If, however, you're someone who does find time to really do a full face of makeup, or are preparing for the interview and want to look super polished, below I have some links to a few more tutorials you may find helpful. I'm camera shy. I admit it. But I'll put my own super easy stick makeup tutorial together at some point in the future. Maybe even a hair one. Who knows? Until then, hopefully these will help you.
