Is there such thing as easy makeup for busy moms? Well, of course there is. I am always running around doing errands, being a soccer mom, cooking dinner and basically running a mommy marathon. While I do love a simple no makeup face, I do like to bump it up from time to time and add a little makeup to put a little pep in my every day step. Normally when it comes to quick and easy makeup, I turn to my Urban Decay Naked 1 or Naked 3 palettes since they offer me a quick look with versatility – but I have since added the Coastal Scents Revealed Palette to my Mommy Makeup Routine and I am loving it.
This look is simple and quick to do. Even if my tutorial seemed a little lengthy – when you eliminate my need to talk and jabber (which I am very good at – lol)… the look can easily be pulled together in minutes and you are out the door and on your way. My routine may vary a little from those mommies that use foundation – so if you do make sure to add a few extra minutes to your routine to apply accordingly. If you are not fond of foundation then a BB Cream, CC Cream or Tinted Moisturizer will surely help as well. My tutorial takes you step by step from beginning to end – so the only thing on my face is my coconut oil – I no longer have Foundation as a part of my routine.

Decided I would take photos with my Cell phone too so you could see what it looked like. I posted some of the photos above on Instagram the other day.
There are a few things you can surely eliminate when creating this look. If you need to get out of the house in a hurry – you can do an easy liner instead of a winged liner and you can also just use regular mascara instead of adding false lashes. You can also opt to do an all over bronze instead of contouring, highlighting and adding blush. The options are endless and if you love to have on some makeup before heading out of the door I hope this helps you on those busy days when you got a lot on your plate.
My every day consists of mascara and lip balm – so that is an option too. Regardless of how you decide to “werk it” just remember that it’s all about feeling comfortable and loving yourself for You!
