Try this 5 Minute Makeup routine for busy moms to enhance your individual beauty.

1. Tinted Moisturizer:  

Apply tinted moisturizer all over your face and eyelids. We recommend to use a wedge sponge. Apply from one side of the forehead to the other and repeat this makeup application all the way down to the chin. (The thinner makeup sponge side will make the formula thicker. The thicker makeup sponge side will make the formula thinner).

2. Pressed Powder:

Apply pressed powder all over your face and eyelids with a powder brush for long lasting clean application/results. Use the body of the brush not the head of the brush in soft strokes. Start from one side of the forehead to the other side of the forehead and repeat this makeup application all the way down to the chin.  

3. Blush:

Start at the upper cheek near the ear. Use the body/side of the brush, not the head. I apply the blush in downward strokes towards the nose stopping at the ball/apple of the cheeks.This allows you to control the color and make the application look clean and beautiful. It also makes the blush last much longer.

4. Light Eyeshadows:

Apply light eyeshadow with a medium brush all over the eyelid including brow line & on the outside corner of the eyes up to the brow line to create a lifted awake look. Use the body of the Brush not the head of the Brush. 

5. Mascara: 

You want to make sure that you apply your mascara from both sides of your lashes to give them the most definition. Start by applying your mascara on the top of the eye lashes when you brush them upwards. Don't be afraid to actually brush them from the beginning of the lashes right next to the roots all the way to the tip of your lashes. Especially if your lashes are really light like blond, red or light brown. Then you want to repeat this application on the top inner eye lashes.

This quick makeup application not only doubles your lash length and thickness, it triples your natural lash size and length. Use the head of the mascara brush and apply it going upwards only on the lashes in the outer corner of the eye to create a cat-eye lash look. Bottom lashes in a dabbing motion, apply the mascara using the body of the brush on your bottom lashes. * If you get a smudge of Mascara on your skin, don't clean it right away, it's going to be a mess! Let it dry first and then use a dry q-tip or your finger and simply remove the smudge.

Remember, as a busy mom juggling so many responsibilities, it's important to take a moment for yourself. This simple makeup routine is designed to help you enhance your natural beauty effortlessly. 5 pieces of makeup in just 5 minutes — easy peasy!
