MY 10 MINUTE BEAUTY ROUTINE!

MOMMYHOOD, BEAUTYLindsey Smith

Only two snooze-buttons long to get out the door in the morning…no problem! My go-to beauty picks for reliable results and a quick, clean morning routine.

As much as I complain about being busy, I actually prefer to be a busy-bee with my cutie in-tow. Truthfully, I don’t think I’d know how to function any other way. Being on the go-go with an even busier baby comes with some challenges. For me, I would say the HARDEST part of Motherhood is getting out the door.

There always seems to be so many distractions along the way and just one more thing I need to grab before leaving the house.

On the days where I’m in Mom Mode I like to keep my beauty routine and wardrobe pretty simple. I have found that I’m a better human when I spend at least ten minutes putting myself together. Just because you’re an exhausted Mom, doesn’t mean everyone else needs to know that.  Gotta fake it till you make it, am I right ladies ;)

Also, on the days I’m chasing my buddy out the door, I truly don’t have the energy to spend more than 10-minutes getting ready. And if I did it seems silly since it all usually comes off on Henry anyway. Because in case someone of you haven’t figure this out yet … * Spoiler Alert * -  Motherhood is a FULL contact sport.

Without further ado, here it is:

1. In between sipping coffee and after washing my face: MOISTURIZE THE HECK OUT OF YOUR SKIN! This is the key for healthy, rejuvenated, more energized looking skin.  

2. Currently loving this serum. *oh la la*

3. Follow with this moisturizer, trust me.

4. Let the above absorb + chug the rest of your coffee.

5. Addicted to this tinted moisturizer and have been for years. Apply quarter-size amount evenly all over your face.

6. Fill in eyebrows, they frame your face. I do this before ever putting on mascara using the Anastasia Brow Wiz Pencil in soft brown for super natural look.

7. Then I use a chocolatey brown shadow to lightly line my top and bottom eyelid: My go-to shadow is this one. (I've been using it for years - I use the darkest shade as liner!)

8. Finally, pop- on your favorite moisturizing gloss.

Wa-lah! You’re ready for take off.
