5-Minute Mama: 3 Steps to Morning Makeup

Weekday mornings are a mad sprint in our house. I’m happy if I can find the kids clean clothes to wear, a little food in their tummies and to school before the tardy bell rings (and that’s on a good day!) While the kids look presentable, I dodge eye contact with anyone at morning drop off because of the way I look. I normally in Pjs or yoga pants, my hair is pulled back and not a lick of makeup, especially under my eyes where it already looks like I haven’t slept in about two weeks. In other words, I look hot. But how can I do it any other way? I mean how do I squeeze in anything else in the morning if I can’t even get what I need to done?

Five Minute Makeup for Moms

1. Lighten up!

Smile at yourself and then with a clean face (a little exfoliation can actually create a natural glow without makeup!) Then apply a little concealer with a peach/yellow hue so it looks natural, but also is able to help get rid of the dark circles and other discolorations in your face. I’m a huge fan of Laura Mercier, but I was introduced to Becca Cosmetics (affiliate link) at Blushington and it worked like a champ on my undereye circles!

2. Hi Eyes! Once you have a smooth, natural look, then it’s time to open your eyes! My consultant said your

Once you have a smooth, natural look, then it’s time to open your eyes! My consultant said your eyelash curler and filling in your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil  (affiliate link) is your best friend to make those eyes open. You don’t have to put on the whole Kardashian look in the morning either…just a few seconds to curl those lashes and fill in the spots where your eyebrows aren’t quite perfect and you’re set!

3. Master the Multitask! 

Moms already know how to do 100 things at once and with makeup you get a time and cost break with a lip and cheek stain! This one from Becca (affiliate) worked like a charm to give cheeks and lips the right amount of natural color that make it look like you just have that “glow” that normally people only say when you’re pregnant! (This time you don’t have any of the swelling or sleepless nights to go with it!)And that’s all you need to get up and go!

You can use this for school drop off, quick trips to the store or those days you just want that natural look! I had so much fun while I was at Blushington during my one-hour Makeup 101 and learned so many things I had been doing wrong to my face! You can even bring your own products so you can learn to use what you have the right way!  After almost 30 years of putting on makeup, I was appalled how much I learned, but just take a look at the finished product!
