Skincare Prep
The skincare I put on before makeup: SPF moisturizer, hydrating gel and a gripping primer that make drugstore makeup look smooth and last all day.
I put this on before I start my makeup. It makes my skin feel super smooth, and once my makeup is done, everything looks fresh and glowy.
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Moisturizer
My non-negotiable first step. Moisturizer and SPF 30 in one, so I'm protected even on the busiest mornings. Lightweight, non-greasy and makeup goes on smoothly over it. #affiliatelink
CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30
A lightweight gel with hyaluronic acid that wakes up tired, dehydrated skin after sleepless nights. Absorbs in seconds, so I can go straight to makeup. #affiliatelink
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturizer
The viral grippy primer that makes my makeup last from morning feeds to bedtime. Hydrating, smooths pores and super affordable. A total drugstore win. #affiliatelink
e.l.f. Power Grip Primer
Face
Quick, affordable face makeup for tired moms: dark circle concealer, a glowy foundation alternative, bronzer and a setting spray that survives toddler hugs.
The twin-mom dark circle eraser. The sponge tip makes it quick to dab on, it covers under-eye circles without creasing, and nobody can tell I was up three times last night. #affiliatelink
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer
My foundation replacement on busy days. It gives a soft, glowy, skin-like finish in seconds, and you can wear it alone, mix it with moisturizer or use it as a highlighter. #affiliatelink
e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter
One swipe and I look like I've had sleep and sunshine. This creamy, buttery bronzer blends effortlessly, warms up my whole face and smells like a vacation. #affiliatelink
Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer
The last step that locks everything in. A few spritzes and my makeup survives toddler hugs, spit-up and a full workday without touch-ups. #affiliatelink
e.l.f. Stay All Night Setting Mist
Eyes & Brows
The two-minute eye and brow routine that makes me look awake: a lengthening drugstore mascara and a tinted brow gel.
If I only have time for one product, it's this mascara. It lengthens and lifts my lashes without clumping, makes me look instantly more awake and doesn't flake by the end of the day. #affiliatelink
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
Fuller, groomed brows in one step. The tinted gel fills sparse spots and holds brows in place all day, so I can skip the pencil on rushed mornings. #affiliatelink
e.l.f. Wow Brow Tinted Brow Gel
Lips & Cheeks
Easy finger-applied cream blush, tinted lip balm and non-sticky lip gloss for a natural flush and a polished look in seconds.
A soft, bouncy cream blush I tap on with my fingers in seconds. It melts into skin for a natural flush that makes me look rested, even when I'm running on four hours of sleep. #affiliatelink
e.l.f. Putty Blush
Moisture plus a sheer wash of color, no mirror needed. I keep one in the diaper bag, the car and my desk for an easy put-together look in two seconds. #affiliatelink
Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm
Shiny, cushiony gloss that never feels sticky, which matters when little hands are grabbing my face all day. Pretty shades, smells like dessert and so affordable. #affiliatelink
NYX Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss
