5 Minute Makeup Routine for Moms

I have never been a “makeup guru”, and I am starting to think that was a blessing for my current season of life. I have no extra time to spend on myself like that since having a child… Or I guess I should say that isn’t something I have wanted to take the extra time to do. I have found that with a few good products and 5 quick minutes, I can have the natural look I desire.

First thing is first, you must start with a clean slate. Make sure you have washed your face with whatever skincare regimen you use. If you need suggestions, I am obsessed with mine and would be happy to help you find something for you.

I never used to take care of my skin so when I first looked into a skincare line I had no idea what I was doing or where to start. I took a free skin consultation quiz to let my now favorite Stanford trained dermatologists make the perfect recommendations for my skin concerns. Here is the link to that quiz! It was a life saver for me!

Rodan and Fields Protect + Blur Broad Spectrum SPF30 Sunscreen
- This oil-free sunscreen delivers 100% mineral UVA/UVB protection while proving a smooth, pore-less look. Reduces appearance of shine and visible redness and balances skin’s equilibrium to defend against visible signs of environmental stress
- I use this along with my tinted skincare to help give me a glow but yet a matte finish. It is amazing!

Rodan and Fields Radiant Defense Tinted Skincare + Liquid Brush
- This lightweight tinted moisturizer defends against environmental aggressors, repairs skin’s moisture barrier + protects from UV rays as it visibly even tone + perfects.
- It provides instant coverage to reduce visible redness and pores while antioxidants and Peptides neutralize environmental aggressors and provide sun protection.

Makeup Revolution Concealer
- Highlight, brighten and banish undereye circles fast with Makeup Revolution’s Fast Base Concealer. Quickly perfect and cover dark circles by simply placing a few dots (a little goes a long way), of the concealer under the eye

Elf Cosmetics Blush Palette
- These 4 shades of blush allows you to mix and match to create different looks for any day. I feel like this blush lasts all day, and doesn’t break the bank

Hourglass Ambient Luminous Light Powder
- This powder is one of my favorites! It gives me a natural illumination for my face that softens the look of my skin.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara
- Since I use Rodan and Fields Lash Boost Conditioning Serum for my lashes I have long lashes that I LOVE. No extensions or falsies necessary anymore. Thank the Lord. I could use any mascara really, but Iove the brush with this Benefit Mascara.

Pretty simple, right? Like I said, I am no makeup guru, but I know what works for me. I encourage you to be open minded and find out what works for you. I do know that I felt so much relief knowing I had found exactly what I needed so I didn’t keeping wasting money on random items that just clutter up my drawer.

I love learning new makeup tricks and tips as long as they are simple for me to incorporate into my routine. If you have any you love, send them my way! For more simple beauty tips, subscribe to my blog, and let’s figure this out together!
