Fresh Faced Makeup
All moms are used to this kind of day off; laundry, nap time for baby, Target, Trader Joe's, Starbucks drive thru while singing and clapping like a circus monkey all to make your little one giggle in the back, clean the house, make dinner and get everyone washed and ready for bed, pack lunches, then try to get 15 min to relax before laying in bed planning all the stuff you will cram into your next day off. Wheeew! If that run on sentence didn't make you run out of breathe, trying doing all of the above with a 30lb 1.5 year old who hates his stroller.
We have all seen those moms at Target who look completely defeated. Trust me, as a new mom, I have been there plenty of times. BUT I can't help but notice the eye rolling and smirks those particular moms give to those moms who look like they have it all together... ie; cute outfit, makeup on, composed beautiful children and a smile. Do you think the mom who seem to have it all together is happier because she has found that extra 15 min to put on a spot of makeup and throw on a casual but cute outfit?! Is the sad, grumpy mom just jealous? Well being on both sides of that spectrum this last year, I would say, YES.
With that being said, we can all find that extra few minutes to make ourselves happier and more put together. I bet your husband won't mind either. My simple and quick makeup tips make you look fresh faced and awake, even when you aren't.
1) Mix Arbonne liquid perfecting foundation with the Arbonne primer
2) Use a flat kabuki brush to buff onto your skin
3) Apply a concealer 1-2 shades lighter that your skin underneath your eyes and on the top of your cheek bones. Then blend out with fingers.
4) Apply a peachy or light pink blush to the apples of your cheeks and brush backwards toward your ears. This will make you look fresh and awake.
5) *optional* apply a matte bronzer on the border of hairline and along jaw
6) Quick coat of black mascara will open up your eyes
7) *optional* fill in brows to your liking.
8) Apply a tinted lip balm or lip gloss to polish it off.
