Now that I have become a Mother Zombie , putting on makeup every time I step out the door is a MUST! If I don’t I will scare everyone! So I had to get my makeup routine down to science.
- Keep everything in one place. Yes my train case is HUGE but I have everything in there. Worst thing is to looking all over the place for something. If it is not in there, either I am out or Peyton stole it.
- I put my daily “work” makeup on the top tray. I don’t have to dig in the bottom for the items I use everyday.
-
Keep all your brushes handy. I love me some brushes! I keep them all in the same area. To clean them use baby wash! I have plenty of that!
- My biggest time saver is find a pallet that has all the colors together. You don’t have to fiddle around with finding a shadow for your lid, crease and brown. This makes it easy and you can keep moving.
-
Always keep you eyebrows done! How many times have you started to get ready to see your looking a little like Bert from Sesame Street! I nice clean brown takes you makeup to another level.
-
In a time crunch apply the essentials! For me concealer
spackleis a must! I take the most time on putting this on. I always put on blush, it gives you a nice glow. I put on mascara everyday. It just opens up you eyes.
No excuse to get caught out with out makeup! I tried to do a make up video. When I got done it didn’t even look like I put on any on the video! LOL. I was done after that. I will try again another time.
What are some of your quick makeup tips?

April 4, 2012 at 12:17 pmUgh… I have no make-up tips because I don’t wear it. I only wear gloss. Every now & then I dipple & dapple in my daughter make-up if I’m feeling myself, other than that I’m a Vaseline Queen!

April 4, 2012 at 1:06 pmGreat post and I definitely relate to being a Mother Zombie! My trick with looking pulled together is just like yours. Having everything that I need handy and focusing on the brows and mascara. I add a little concealer and powder to the mix as my bags are no joke!

April 4, 2012 at 1:51 pmI’m not a huge make up person but I do love a great mascara and lipgloss. I agree that keeping everything in one place saves you valuable minutes of having to hunt down something. Also, I like to double up on items I wear a lot. I keep one at home and one in my purse for touch ups on the go.

April 4, 2012 at 2:24 pmI don’t wear makeup daily (i know, i know) but if I’m leaving the house in a rush I always use mascara and lip color those are my 2 musts! When I go out I obviously wear makeup, I have tons (like you) but use the same ones over and over! lol
Good tip on the baby wash for brushes! I use the MAC bursh cleaner. It’s costly, but lasts forever!

April 4, 2012 at 2:43 pmI love this post! I must say you always look great hun… I used to work for MAC a few years ago and I always stressed the importance of a nice, simple everyday look. It really makes you look more polished. Back then I used to pile it on (go figure) but now that I am a mom working a 9 to 5, I have my 5 minute routine down to a science. It truly does make a difference!

April 4, 2012 at 3:06 pmWOW. So next time I visit Atlanta I am stopping by your house. I have only recently begun to wear makeup. Right now it’s primarily powder and mascara and lip gloss. It’s something I would like to continue to work on.

April 4, 2012 at 3:22 pmGreat tips! I like most don’t wear much make up and when I do 5 minutes is all the time I need. My make up case looks like your top tray!

April 4, 2012 at 4:22 pmI don’t wear makeup that often. When I do I mix my foundation with some Olay moisturizer with SPF kind of like a tinted moisturizer. I have fallen in love with the Milani blush that we got from the NYE event and I use lipgloss. I have recently fell in love with lipstick so I may throw some of that on and out the door I go.
