Quick Makeup Tips for Moms
Use Multipurpose Products
The best way to avoid wasting a lot of time doing your makeup is to invest in products that can be used in more than one way. Multipurpose makeup products are a lifesaver for busy moms.
Ever waited for the moisturizer to dry before applying sun cream? Well, you can get a moisturizer that contains SPF to ease out your makeup routine.
Instead of fumbling with several palettes while trying to do your makeup and wasting valuable time, you can make your life easier by using a single palette that contains different shades that you can use as eyeshadow, blush, highlighter, bronzer, and more.
You can even get a cheek tint which can be used as a lip tint to get you on the go.
Shape Your Brows
Shaping your brows can make all the difference in a makeup look. Just spending 30 seconds to do your eyebrows is enough to transfer your entire look. Fill them in with a pencil or a mascara wand and you will instantly notice how radiant and awake you suddenly look.
Apply Moisturizer Regularly
Even though moisturizer isn’t a part of makeup, it plays a crucial role in the overall look of your makeup. If you apply moisturizer regularly your foundation will look flawless and your skin will thank you.
Even if you have oily skin, you should invest in a good quality moisturizer or a hydrating serum and apply it daily before you do your makeup.
Use A Tinted Moisturizer
50% of your makeup look depends on your foundation. However, you do not really need a thick layer of foundation to look the best, you can just get a tinted moisturizer, and it’ll do the trick.
Tinted moisturizers are easy to apply and they don’t require you to use a brush like foundation do. Plus, you can get enough coverage for the perfect no-makeup look or clean everyday makeup look. The best part about it is, it takes less than a minute to apply.
Choose Products That Last All Day
Invest in products that are water and sweat-proof so they can last all day long. For instance, a good setting powder can make your makeup look flawless all day. You can even invest in a setting spray or mist to keep your makeup intact.
Conclusion
