During my first year of Mommyhood, I often chose sleep over getting dolled up. Slowly but surely, I found myself living in sweats, a ponytail & a bare face 99% of the time. This was NOT my personality at ALL. Since I always felt goofy wearing my regular clothes with a bare face & couldn’t seem to keep my hands off of my face without makeup, I decided it was time to do something.
Since I’m not a natural beauty, I always feel my best in full makeup {even though completely DONE I’m not much to shake a stick at..ha!}. Full makeup for me takes about 30 minutes, but I don’t always have 30 minutes to paint my face. I came up with a Five Minute Face that makes me feel & look more “me” while keeping us on time.
Obviously feel free to use any of your favorites, these are just products that I personally love. 
Mascara
Benefit Cosmetics’ They’re Real Mini {$10}
I got this in my free birthday gift from Sephora. My lashes look great without being overly done & lasts all day without smudging.
Merle Norman’s Flawless Effects Loose Powder in Translucent {$25}
I use this on top of BB Cream & it gives my skin a nice peachy glow & SPF protection.
Lip Butter
NYX Cosmetics’ Butter Lip Balm in Lady Fingers {$3.99}
I use this to give my lips a splash of color while keeping them moisturized.
Revlon’s ColorStay Eyeliner in Black {$4.99}
I don’t feel like me without my black eyeliner! This glides right on & lasts all day without the dreaded raccoon eye. You can really control the size of the line with this as well.
BB Cream
L’Oreal’s Studio Secrets Magic Liquid BB Cream in Fair {$7.99}
This was the first BB Cream that I tried & I love it! It smooths out my skin tone without being overly pigmented. When you have super fair skin, that is a HUGE plus! It also holds my powder in place for most of the day.
Eyeshadow
N.Y.C.’s Sparkle Eye Dust in Champagne {$2.99}
It give my eyelids a nice neutral shimmer without being over the top.
Here it is on:
Whooaaaa that Daylight Savings Time sleep schedule is really showing on those bags under my eyes! Eeek!
Even though I didn’t have time to do full makeup, I definitely feel more put together & can wear regular clothes & leave the sweats at home=feeling more human.
Go ahead & hit the snooze button. 
What are your go-to quick makeup fixes?
