As a mom that has to shuffle between getting to work, and getting the kids all prepared for school, you no longer have all the time in the world to do your makeup like you used to back in your child-free days but don’t let that make you quit makeup altogether.
Yes, having a newborn and an attention seeking toddler that requires constant supervision isn’t going to let you blend those eye shadows perfectly or matte your foundation smoothly but there are still plenty of other easier things you can do to still look fab.
Here are some beauty tips for moms who want to hide the look of sleeplessness and all the other not-so-stylish things that motherhood comes with.
◾ KEEP IT NEAT – being able to do your beauty routine quickly starts with an organized vanity. You’ll find that it’s easier to get your hair and makeup done for the day when you know exactly where to reach into for certain products and tools so try to keep everything in place by putting things back to where they belong right after you use them.
◾ THE EARLIER THE BETTER – if you’re the kind of mom who gets busy the very second you wake up and you have trouble finding the time to do even the very basic things for yourself like taking a shower, doing your hair and makeup throughout the day then why not wake up ahead of everyone else and do those things for yourself before doing stuff for other people in this family.
◾ SAVE BEAUTY DIY GUIDES – if going to the spa isn’t an option for you because you have your hands full with mommy duties, you can always whip something up in the kitchen for your face, your skin or your hair, slap it on and leave it while you do other stuff then rinse and you’re done. Click here, here and here for various DIY beauty treats you can quickly whip up while the little ones are asleep.
◾ PERFECT THE NO MAKEUP LOOK – this one is a lifesaver! The no makeup look is a natural look that you can wear every day that requires minimal blending and zero use of complicated techniques. Here are some tips on how you can perfect the no makeup look:
- The secret to achieving flawless and natural looking makeup is to start with a clean and smooth canvass where products can easily glide on and you can achieve this by making sure that your face is well prepped. Wash your face to get rid of any dirt and pat it dry.
- Once your face is completely dry, put on your moisturizer and let it sit for a while so the skin can absorb it.
- After you moisturize, use a good facial primer on your face and use eye shadow primer on your eyes, too, to make all the products last longer.
- The best way to make your makeup look as natural as possible is to use foundation that matches your skin tone. If you can’t find your perfect match, try to blend several different shades of foundation and see if you can come up with a shade that comes close to your natural skin tone. Try not to go for a foundation that offers full coverage, too, and go for one that offers light to medium coverage instead.
- To get a more natural look, use a brow pencil or brow shadow in an earthly tone to lightly fill in your brows.
- For lips, avoid dark and vampy colors and stick to nudes and soft lip colors instead. If you don’t mind leaving the house without some lipstick on, reach for some tinted balm instead and you’re good to go.
◾ MESSY HAIR DOES IT – messy is sexy so don’t bother about perfecting that everyday bun or getting every single strand in place. So embrace messy hair – it’s easier and takes less time too.
