Beauty Tips For Busy Mom’s

As any busy mom knows, when it’s time to pare down your morning routine, the beauty regimen is likely the first thing to get the boot. So, instead of frantically trying to swipe on mascara when you’re stopped at a red light during morning carpool, swap out your standard beauty buys for the best makeup for busy moms. From a double duty favorite to anti-aging products that will help you look and feel great even when you don’t have time to put on your face our favorite makeup for moms will get you out the door and looking your best in no time.

Don’t Underestimate the Power of a Brow Pencil and Bright Lip

If you only have time to apply two products in the morning, switch up the standard choice of concealer and blush in favor of a brow pencil and bright lip. A pencil can help you get the look of a manicured brow even if it hasn’t seen a tweezers since Christmas. It will fill in any imperfections and give you an overall polished look. You’ll want to balance it out with a pop of color on your lips. We love bright pink for almost every complexion, but red is a classic choice also. Whatever you do, make sure it’s long-wear you don’t want to have to reapply after that second cup of coffee.

Always Keep a Small Tub of Vaseline in Your Purse

It’s a cure all. It can be used for dry skin, cuts, scrapes, and scars. It can stand in for gloss when you need just a bit of shimmer on lips and can also act as a highlighter on cheekbones that need a touch of dimension.

A Nighttime Routine is Key

Once the kids are in bed, your prep-ahead beauty routine begins. Invest in a good face wash. We love Fresh Soy Face Cleansing Milk for its gentle formula, moisturizing effects, and light fragrance (a combination of flowery hibiscus and soothing cucumber). Follow it up with the brand’s Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner to remove any remaining impurities. A good toner will help minimize pores, soften the skin, and ensure the following skincare products will fully absorb. Next, apply an anti-aging serum. There are plenty of serums on the market that help with a variety of skin issues. For everyday use, we recommend one that reduces fine lines and helps even out skin tone. Finally, follow it up with a moisturizer to lock in all those nutrients. If you follow a similar beauty regimen every night and ideally every morning, as well you’ll start to see a definite change in your complexion within a couple weeks. You might soon be able to skip the foundation altogether, seriously cutting down on your morning primp time.

Plenty of Water

You’ve heard this one before but, for aiding complexion, helping ward off sickness, and overall health nothing is quite as easy as making sure you’re drinking enough water. In theory. Just like our beauty routine, it seems taking a minute to drink of glass of water is one of the first things that falls off our to-do list when busy mom life takes hold. Make this a priority and you’ll be feeling and looking better in no time.
