My Mommy Makeup

If you are like me, you want a quick and simple makeup routine.  Every morning I stand at my stove (yes, my stove) to do my makeup. It's the best place to be so that I can keep eyes and ears on little ones and my little girl's hands can't rummage around in my makeup bag :)  I also like inexpensive makeup but I don't mind splurging every now and then to amp it up a little.

Here is what I use and I can do my makeup in about ten minutes!

{Foundation}
I always wash my face at night with Cetaphil and then use Pond's moisturizing cream before bed. When I wake up, I don't wash again. I just go ahead and get the party started. This is my favorite, inexpensive foundation. The coverage is great for me because I need something a little heavier. The Good Lord did not bless me with flawless skin :)

{Eyeliner}

I am inching closer to 30 and realized that black eyeliner is just too harsh for me now. I switched to this Mary Kay eyeliner in Bronze and LOVE it with my grey-blue eyes. :) It looks more natural but still enough definition to satisfy me.

{Eyeshadows}

I worked with someone last year who sold Avon and decided to try a few things because they were SO cheap! I love this Glazewear Diamonds cream shadow in Bronzed Shine. It goes on really smooth and quickly. It's also a great base for my Naked 2 Palette for those times when I wear a little more makeup.   

After I apply the cream shadow, I put Clinique Nude Rose in my crease for just a little bit of dimension, otherwise I still look tired :)

 

{Mascara}

I have tried quite a spectrum of mascaras but I always come back to this little orange tube. It gives me the volume and length that I want. It stays wet and pliable for a little while after I put it on, so it's easy to add a few coats for more drama if needed.

 

{Blush}

I use Clinique's blush in Precious Posey. I have a lot of pink undertones in my skin and this blush has just enough rose in it to not make me look like one of the Golden Girls (although I LOVE that show!!)

{Lips}

I am kind of addicted to lip glosses and lipsticks. I'm always trying something new but lately I have been using Revlon's Lacquerbalm in Demure. It's a breeze to swipe on it gives just a little shine without being an actual lipgloss.  I love this feature because my hair always gets stuck in my lipgloss. Not with this!

So there you have it!  A super easy, low-key makeup look for yours truly!
