Actually obtaining a mom makeup routine can seem basically impossible when you barely have time to feed yourself. If you are someone that really enjoys looking and feeling good, then it is important that you set aside some time for yourself. All you need is 7 minutes to get yourself all put together whether you are going to work or just want to feel hot for the day!

We have all had those mornings where we have a million and one things to do and places to be. You were barely able to make time to put on clothes this morning, let alone have the time to even think about your mom makeup routine. But some days you just truly need a little pick me up, and don’t want your coworkers to all be staring at your ghostly face.
When saying all of this, I by no means think it’s bad to go places or to work without makeup. Girl, if that’s how you’re feeling then DO IT. That’s amazing. I, however, have a very hard time being around people without a little makeup magic.
If you are in the need of a little makeup pick me up routine but don’t have much time to spare, then you girl have came to the right place. We are going to discuss a 7 minute mom makeup routine that will have you feeling confident all day without needing to set aside much time out of your morning.
This post is all about a mom makeup routine for the women that don’t have much time to spare in the morning but still want to feel confident.
The Best Mom Makeup Routine
makeup for the face

So let’s begin your mom makeup routine with our foundation and concealer. We don’t have the time to be layering on top of layering. These two products have been my ultimate go to, for a full coverage look. Whether your face is full of zits, oily af, or dry like your ex’s DM’s, you will find major benefits from these products.
The Tarte Maracuja Tinted Hydrator has been my favorite foundation lately (I hype this girl all up on my October 2022 Favorites post). My skin type is combination. It is incredibly hard for me to find a foundation that can help with both the dryness and oiliness. I also don’t want my foundation to come off super cakey. This foundation only requires ONE layer. Yes, one application. I personally apply this Tarte foundation with a foundation brush, and it blends in so smoothly into my skin. Some liquid foundations can come off pretty dry, and it can take up so much time trying to blend into your skin. If you have that problem with your current foundation, look no further because you will literally fall in love with one from Tarte Cosmetics.
I also like to top off my foundation and go over areas of my face that need a little more love. Usually, I apply concealer under my eyes, around my nose, chin, and forehead area. I recently have been loving this Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch concealer from Fenty Beauty. This concealer is literally is so light, yet fully covers any imperfections I need it to. It applies so smoothly to my face and blends in so well with the Tarte foundation.
makeup for the eyes and brows

Next up for our makeup routine are the eyes and eyebrows. I don’t know about you, but ever since having a kid I literally look almost dead when I wake up. So the eyes are so important for me to hit every day. I’ve tried fake eyelashes, and they are great. But it takes me 20 minutes to *maybe* get them lined up on my lids. So it is very important to find a mascara that lengthens and adds the volume my poor eyes need. After giving my eyes some help, it is so necessary to also add some love to your brows. We don’t want to be looking all wonky with uneven tones and shades!
For my skin tone and light colored eyes, I have found using a mascara in a brown shade works the best. I used to always use “blackest black” but it just made the rest of my face look even more pale and washed out. The drugstore mascara that I have been using recently is the Covergirl Lash Blast Volume Mascara. It not only gives my lashes volume but it also lengthens. It also helps my eyes look more awake than they really are. One of my other favorites is the Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Curling Mascara, if you’re okay with spending a little more.
Brushing and tinting my eyebrows has become a true necessity of mine. It takes less than one minute and is so crucial to your routine. It really is a step that is so simple, yet makes your face look put together. My favorite eyebrow product is no secret, it is the Dipbrow Pomade by Anastasia. I apply this product with their Dual-Ended Brush. This allows me to brush out my brows, and then apply the pomade for a beautiful, sealed effect. This pomade glides SO well on your eyebrows and tints them so perfectly, without it looking crusty or too harsh.
makeup for the cheeks

I personally always like to add a little color or highlight to my face. It not only gives your skin more definition, but it also makes you look more alive. I have been loving this loose powder blush from bareMinerals. It not only adds some color to your cheeks but also adds such a nice glow. This means, you don’t need to waste the time adding highlight because this product does it all for you! This product is formulated for all skin types, even if you have sensitive skin. It adds a soft, vibrant color to your cheekbones and also makes them pop.
I have always found that I can trust bareMinerals products. This blush is cruelty free, dermatology tested, and free of parabens, formaldehyde, and more.
make your makeup LAST

As a mom you have a busy, hectic day ahead of you. With busy days, come lots of running around and sweat. We certainly would not have wanted you to have wasted those 7 precious minutes doing your mom makeup routine for you to just sweat it off. So we need to set our makeup, which for me I do a two step process.
I first like to set my makeup with a powder. Like many other women I am in love with the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder. This powder is for ALL skin types. It is also feels very light on your face and lasts all day. This powder does an amazing job of basically amplifying my makeup. It is like you apply your face makeup and you look beautiful. And then you apply this powder and your like DAMN OK I’M HOT. So not only are you going to have longer lasting makeup, but your overall makeup look will be transformed.
My final last step in my quick little glow up is the NYX Dewy Finish Makeup Setting Spray. Now you might say, but Britney didn’t we just use a setting powder? Why do I also need a setting spray? Yes you are correct, we did. I however like to finish any of my skin routines with a spray. Just like my skincare routine, I love to end it with some water just misting on my face. It feels amazing and really seals the whole deal for me. This setting spray I love because it has a dewy finish. Because the powder, is well obviously a powder, I want a more silky finish to my makeup. So I grab this little bad boy and mist my entire face! This setting spray also comes in a matte finish if that is more your thing!
I hope with this post you were able to find a little inspiration for some new makeup products, allow yourself to have a little me time in the morning, and are able to look and feel your best! I hope you have the best day yet! xxx
