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.

If you are interested in the Coastal Scents Revealed Palette, I will have swatches and a full review up soon – stay tuned!
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!

What a pretty makeup look. 🙂 I love the Maybelline Color Elixir in Petal Plush. It is so pale and pretty and perfect with darker eye looks. Plus it makes my lips look like, Buh-Bam! 😀
thank you. 😉 I absolutely love Petal Plush. I didn’t think I would but it is easily worn with any eye look and I just love these. 😉 and… you are Buh-Bam! 😉
You have lovely skin so you don’t need foundation. I’m liking the Coastal Scents stuff that I’ve tried thru ipsy so I may have to look into that palette. Lovely quick look you did!
thank you Allison – I never used to have great skin though and I blame foundation for all my horrors. lol I am very impressed with this palette from Coastal scents. Gonna do a formal review with swatches soon. 😉

Great look to share. And I think it is essential for any woman’s sanity to take a few minutes in the morning to devote to their appearance.
thank you 😉 It really does help with self confidence to make sure you look as great as you feel 😉
I like it when a busy mom takes time to make herself beautiful and presentable!!! That’s why I like you, woot woot!
I try 😉 It ain’t easy – I tell ya. lmao – thank you love.
I need to play some more with my Revealed Palette. I just got an e-mail from Coastal Scents that they’ve put it in a bundle with some brushes and something else, I can’t remember – a great way for someone to start their makeup collection. I’ve really liked the Coastal Scents brushes that I’ve used.
I got that email this morning and was excited for my sister who has been wanting the palette. I have their bamboo brush set and a mini brush set and a few singles here and there and have liked them for the most part. 😉
It;s a great palette all around
it really is – I enjoy it 😉
Simple and pretty! Like it!
