Now that I’m a new mama, every routine has become “under 5 minutes” 😂! With baby Sage being #1 priority, putting on a full face of makeup nowadays is just not realistic when I’m running between her nap and feeding schedule! So, a quick makeup routine in the mornings just to feel even slightly put together makes a world of difference. Over the past few days, with only a few minutes to spare, I’ve really started to master my go-to 5-minute makeup look.
Before I go into products, I thought I’d share my recipe for the *simple* look that most mamas will have time for. Let me tell you, downsizing my routine is the best thing I’ve ever done! The idea is to keep it short, sweet, and simple with just the basics. For me, that means concealer, SPF, multi-use blush/lips product, mascara, and a brow pencil. If you’re a new mama like me, keep scrolling for a few time-saving products that have truly changed my life!
#1 NARS Soft Matte Concealer
My favorite part of this concealer is how easy it is to blend in. There is no cakey-ness, and it just melts right into my skin!
#2 Supergoop! CC Screen
I would trust Supergoop! Sunscreen with my life, I love this CC Screen because it adds the perfect amount of coverage and glow 😍
#3 Ilia Muli-Stick Cheek & Lip
Multi-sticks are a new mom’s dream come true! They fit perfectly in any bag and are great for quick touch-ups when you’re in a time crunch!
#4 Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
This mascara has been my ride or die for years. It gives your lashes the perfect amount of volume and always makes me look wide awake! A necessity for a new mom 😂
#5 It! Cosmetics Brow Pencil
I never feel complete without doing my brows. This brow pencil is amazing! I love how natural it looks, and the price is on point.
