All my moms out there will agree, having time for yourself in the morning is a rarity.
Today we had to get ready for the pediatrician, head to school, and now I have a few hours to myself before I have to head to pick up before swim lessons (whew, chile).
I’ve been trying to perfect my no-makeup makeup routine for a while now, and I always try and use different products a) because I have so many products that I love so dearly and b) I’m rushing and never really remember what I used the last time. Such is life.
This was today’s attempt:
- A couple of drops of Loreal’s Lumi Glotion mixed with Fenty Beauty Pro FIlt’r Soft Matte for that glowy but still matte base.
- NARS Soft Matte to cover up the under eye bags and to prime my eyes for shadow. Forever in love with this concealer; it goes on so smooth and instantly makes me look more awake! (Also, important to note, I usually prep my eyes with OleHenriksen’s Banana Bright Eye Cream, which adds extra radiance).
- Colourpop’s Supernova Shadow–I’m obsessed w this formula, and the shades are so pigmented and last on my lids all day.
- Hourglass’s Extreme Caution Mascara to make me look way more awake than I feel. Formula is not drying, not flaky, and adds instant life & volume, which is really all I look for in a mascara.
- Lastly, I add a new highlighter in my arsenal, Physician Formula’s Butter Highlighter in Champagne. Formula is similar to Colourpop’s Super Shock Cheek formula that I always rave about; soft, buttery, easy to blend w/just your fingers, buildable to a blinding highlight, etc.
Apply & go, my new motto. Do you guys have a five minute makeup routine? Share it with me!
