Easy makeup for busy moms

For many years I worked as a make up artist and always managed to find time to have my face camera ready. Flash forward 3 kids later and I only seem to have about 5 minutes to get ready and believe me that's not uninterrupted time!

So one of my quests has been to find affordable make up that's convenient and fast. I've compiled a list of items that I use on a regular basis that I can basically do in no time flat and know you will be able to as well.

1. It's imperative to have a good foundation of some sort. This can range from a tinted moisturizer to a full coverage foundation that can double as a concealer and a powder to set your make up. This is where I recommend you splurge. Go to a counter and have a make up artist match your skin tone. Try Prescriptives or Bobbie Brown. They have a wide range of colors for all skin tones.

2. An eyeliner for definition , and mascara to open up your eyes. Try Mark by Avon. I love these Hook ups they have because you can connect your eyeliner and mascara into one product. You can buy both for about $11 together.

3. A bronzer or all over color to waken up your face and add color back to where it use to be pre-kid. Try Sonia Kashuk at target for about $11. I love this product be cause the powder comes from within the brush making it on the go make up. I personally open up the little pot and add some of my bella rose mineral bronzer and it looks fabulous!

4. Find a great peachy pink lipstick or gloss. Anyone can wear this color no matter what the skin color just find a shade light enough or deep enough for your skin tone. Try Mark by Avon for about $5.00

5. last if you have a fading lip line get a great nude brown lip liner that will work with any color lipstick. Try Shu Uemura drawing lip pencil in Brown 710.

This is my daily routine and it works with 3 kids. If I can make it work so can you. Just because you only had three hours of sleep doesn't mean anyone has to know. At least you try can faking it with quick and easy make up.
