Moms Who Makeup

[bakeamuffin]

Hey moms! Do you make time to do your makeup everyday or just for special occasions? What about skin care routines? 

[Pattybot]

I do during the week, I get up before my kids, just like 30 minutes before. That way I have time to put some make up on before school drop off and other errands. On the weekends if I don’t leave the house I will just put some powder on so I’m not a complete oil slick all day. Ha ha I like to have make up on if I’m leaving my house though. I’ve always been that way, since my teens and I’m 36 now.

That’s a great routine! I usually wake up before my kids too, I love to relax with a cup of tea and do my skin care routine and makeup in peace. It’s a great way to start the day!

I don't wear makeup except for special occasions-- I work from home & my daughter is 11 months. So I'll put on makeup if I'm going into the office or going out! And I love it, maybe more so than if I did it everyday. It feels really special. For normal errands I'll just do brows, mascara, and a tinted lip balm. But I do make time for skincare-- every morning and evening I do my routine (wash, tone, serum, moisturizer) and brush and/or pluck my brows and put on lip balm. Once or twice a week I do a mask. I am a mask addict-- I have so many, lol. Helps me feel a bit more together, well-groomed at least! 😂

Depends on what I’m doing that day, 90% of the time I do simple make up quick and easy due to my two year old boy always wanting to play with my make up, sometimes when he is down for a nap I gave a little fun and I dazzle it up!

I do minimal makeup for work just so I look polished and awake even though I’m exhausted. Haha! I use the Amore Pacific cushion which goes on fast and sheer, makes me look like I’ve just got a post facial glow, and is travel friendly for the go. Then Stila’s brow pen cuz its easy and mistake proof. Small strokes at a time and builds. Then curl my eyelashes and mascara to look awake! My go to lip is the Dior glow.

Your work makeup mirrors my own. The only difference is that recently I started adding blush and/or eyeshadow (LO has been sleeping in while I get ready in he mornings).

my youngest will be 3 months on the 13th.  these days i only wear makeup when im going out or someone is coming over.  but i never skimp on skincare and i'm trying to mask once a week

[bakeamuffin]

Skincare is something I won’t skip in either. I don’t mind not wearing makeup when my skin looks healthy and glowy ☺️

I have a 7yo and a 5mo...I definitely have to make time...just not every day...I feel it's important to give my skin some rest...but the days I do do my makeup...it's always relaxing to me

[bakeamuffin]

Definitely! I find if I do my makeup every day I break out more often. It’s definitely more sensitive after having gone through all those hormonal changes.

I used to!! But now I do maybe three times a week, I have a third grader that's in a lot of extracurricular activities and a two year old that's always fussy!! Wish I could every day but lot of times there's not enough hours in a day!! But I definitely do for special occasions!

[lmaster]

ohhhh I feel you there!! my two year old son is the crier! constantly to keep my attention lol

[bakeamuffin]

2 is such a busy age! My daughter is 2 as well ☺️ I also have a 4 and 7 year old so I can relate to not having enough time in the day, there’s just always something to do, someone who needs help, a mess to clean, etc. It’s hard to carve out time for yourself!

[lmaster]

I feel you there!! I have a 10, 3 and 2 year old,,,,,KILLEN ME LOL 😵 I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel,,,ha!

[HamsterButts]

I make time!!! 3 hours of time. Not that it takes me 3 hours but you have to plan for the occasional mess ups and fixes. I do my face every day that I work and occasionally when I'm going out to run errands but rarely even then. I'm not scared to go without makeup like I know some are. I'll go to the grocery store just woken up and hair a mess but sometimes it's just nice to put on my best face.

[Shikis]

I do my makeup everyday 😊💕 I try to make time for me

[bakeamuffin]

I find a big difference in my mood when I make time for me 😄

[Didem]

I hear you!

[jessie416]

For work and when I go out yes , but if I’m home then I keep a bare face . If I’m rushed or just running errands I keep it very simple ( cc cream, mascara and eyebrows )

[bakeamuffin]

I enjoy a simple bb cream for running errands and things like that too. It doesn’t feel heavy on the face but helps hide those little imperfections and gives a more awake appearance haha 🙂
