13 Mar Pretty Faces

Posted at 07:00h in Real Stories by Real Mums by

One of the most challenging things about becoming a new mum is just how little time you now have just for you.

Whilst you wouldn’t change a thing for the world, a few small moments are no longer taken for granted.

Whether you are going to work, meet friends or just running errands if you are anything like me you care about your appearance and how you present yourself to others.

It can be a real struggle to get anywhere on time, let alone have a little time to ‘play pretty’ with makeup before you walk out the door.

As a mum to two girls and a qualified makeup artist I though I might share a few tips with you to simplify your makeup routine in the morning.

To keep it simple and natural stick with the basics …a smokey eye and bold lip you probably wont have time for!

  • Use a tinted moisturizer or a BB cream with an SPF included. These products include hydration, light coverage and sun protection in one hit.
  • Conceal any dark circles under the eyes and blend with your fingertips.
  • Keep your brows natural and just brush through with and eyebrow brush or disposable mascara wand or fill any gaps with a brow gel or powder.
  • Apply a couple of coats of your favourite mascara to really open the eyes up.
  • Finally add a pop of colour to your cheeks and lips. Have you considered buying a combined lip and cheek kit? These palettes are made up of colours in a cream consistency and can be used on either cheeks or lips.

If you really wanted to save more time getting ready why not consider a monthly brow and lash tint with your local beauty therapist. Perfect definition and smudge proof too.

Investing in a good skin care routine to suit your skin type will give you the best results with your makeup.
