As a 29 year old mom to 5 boys, I don’t always get around to putting my make-up on first thing in the morning, but even if it’s already noon, the baby is napping and I can grab a chance to put make-up on, then I usually do.
Make up isn’t just about looks, but it greatly enhances how we feel about ourselves because we instantly feel put together, and when we feel put together we naturally exude more positive energy.
I used to tell myself I was beautiful without makeup and of course that’s true, but underneath I honestly didn’t feel that way. I just thought because I was comfortable not wearing makeup that that instantly made me “confident.” But the truth is that taking the time and putting extra effort into ourselves shows ourselves we ARE important and it portrays to others that we take the time to put effort into ourselves because we ARE important.
When you wear makeup you don’t have to go all full glam because I sure as heck DON’T. But, just a simple look can enhance your natural beauty and make you radiate from the inside out.
Now, here’s my make up routine that you came here for…
I start by always washing my face beforehand and applying facial sunscreen. There’s a few sunscreens I’ve used and loved, and here they are (keep in mind if you purchase through my recommendations, then I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you):
- Good Molecules Sunscreen (this one definitely has some white cast but I feel like it helps clear my skin up at the same time)
- Hero Cosmetics Force Shield Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30 (this one has a green tint to help cancel out redness)
- Centella Sunscreen SPF 50 (I just recently got this and after one use, I think it might be a new fav, but we will see)
After sunscreen I usually apply a primer which helps minimize the appearance of pores/texture. The primer I’ve been using lately is Baby Skin which you can find here.
After primer, I apply my foundation if I want to wear it that day. The foundation I currently use is Tarte double duty beauty (but I can’t find it anywhere so I linked a similar version here).
After that I blend my foundation with Tarte’s foundation brush which you can get here.
Then I apply blush, bronzer, and I don’t put anything on my brows currently.
My blush and bronzer aren’t too fancy. I just use physicians formula. Here’s the blush. And here is the bronzer.
I have a few different mascaras I rotate which are here:
Almost forgot my under eyes. After I apply my sunscreen I apply my under eye correctors and I have two that I LOVE:
Also almost forgot about my eye lids. Lol. Gotta love that mom brain. I apply an eye brightener rather than typical eyeshadow MOST the time. I love the ones from Thrive Causemetics. And for my eyeliner, when I wear it I enjoy using the one from Tarte, and I have a teal one from Thrive Causemetics.
Here are the eye brighteners I have currently:
- Stella – Champagne Brilliant Eye Brightener
- Aurora – Rose Gold Brilliant Eye Brightener
- Muna – Mauve Taupe Brillian Eye Brightener
Here are the eyeliners:
Lastly, we have lips. I received some free tinted lip balms from Spoiled Child when I ordered their collagen previously. and then I also love the Wonderskin brand where you apply it to your lips like a mask and then wipe it off and it leaves a tint on your lips completely smudge free.
Here are the lip products:
And that’s literally IT. It’s simple, but still makes me feel good about myself and feel more put together at the end of the day.
Let me know if you already use some of these products and tell me how you like them in the comments. Thank you for reading, and don’t forget to share my blog if you found it helpful.
