Are you busy?
In a rush? Who isn’t-especially if you’re a mom? Here are some quick on-the-go beauty tips.
Remember the days you could spend 20 minutes on your makeup and another 30 on your hair? These days, you’re more likely to be lining your diaper pail than your eyelids. But don’t throw in the towel on feeling fresh and looking (somewhat) put together. These tips will help you streamline your beauty routine and be ready to roll (or stroll) in five minutes or less.
Three Beauty Tips for Moms On-The-Go
P.M. Suds- Consider switching your shower to just before bed. Once your baby’s down for the night (fingers crossed!), you’ll have more time to soap up and shampoo (and maybe even shave). Plus, the warm water will relax you and prep you for (a few) hours of uninterrupted sleep.
Make-up Make-under- Minimize the morning rush by paring down your makeup routine. A good-quality concealer is a must; if you wear foundation, try a cream-to-powder formula, which goes on quickly and smoothly (and do take the extra ten seconds to make sure you blend carefully). Color? Yes, but keep it simple — choose a cream blush that can double as a lip and eye tint. Using an eyelash curler may set you back another ten seconds, but the effect will make those sleepy eyes look bigger and brighter. Sweep on a quick coat of mascara and you’re set to face your adoring public (even if it’s only an audience of one tiny fan). And remember, a short haircut or sleek ponytail is a new mom’s best friend.
Don’t forget your fingers- You might not have time for a full-blown manicure but do keep your nails cut short and smoothly filed (they’ll look pretty and you’ll be less likely to scratch baby’s tender tush during diaper changes). Apply a clear coat of polish every couple of days.
