Makeup for Busy Moms
Blush
Now that your face looks fresh with a nice even skin tone, you can add a small pop of color with blush. Blush should be applied in small dabs on the apples of your cheeks only. Warm colors like peach or light pink work for most skin tones, but you'll need to find a color that looks great on you. Do not drag your blush across your cheeks or dab on too much. Putting on blush should take less than 5 seconds, anymore than that and chances are you are applying way too much.
Remember, you just want to infuse a touch of color on your cheeks to brighten your face, not look like Bozo the clown.
Eyes
Since you are keeping the rest of your face relatively simple, you'll want to makeup your eyes a bit, but that doesn't mean you should overdo it. All you really need to create a clean and lovely day look with eye makeup is a shimmery white eye shadow (for highlighting), a touch of eye shadow in a neutral or light shade (lavender, beige, or brown work well with most eye colors) and some mascara.
First, take your white shimmery eye shadow and use your ring finger or pinky to dab a dot next to the corner of your eyes then use your finger or an eye shadow brush to apply just underneath your eyebrow where it arches. This makes your eyes look bigger and brighter. Next, take your neutral eye shadow and apply a thin layer to the area of your lids just above your lash line. One quick coat of your mascara of choice and your eyes should look lovely, bright, and definitely not like you've been running after a toddler all day.
