On Mother’s Day, COVERGIRL celebrates all moms especially busy moms (what mom isn’t busy though, right? I had no idea how busy I’d become once I was a mom. No one could tell me exactly how little time I’d have for myself. I remember thinking how great it would be, I’d be home and babies sleep all day. Well first of all my baby didn’t sleep all day and second of all I was home but taking care of a child (that didn’t sleep), a house and all the things that went along with it. So needless to say time for me was non-existent, especially since I wasn’t able to put her down.
My daily routines changed so fast and I stopped wearing makeup, barely got dressed in ‘pretty’ clothes and didn’t even style my hair anymore. I didn’t have time for myself anymore for a lot of years. Eventually that changed as they got older and I can now take a long shower, dry and style my hair and even apply makeup. It’s really nice!
If you are one of those busy moms, Here are some tips for you. Celebrity makeup artist Sage Maitri, who works with celebrity moms like Molly Sims, Rebecca Romijn, Jessica Capshaw, Minnie Driver, Elizabeth Banks and Emily Deschanel, shares some of her favorite mom-friendly makeup tips:
- Morning Mayhem – For a busy mom, mornings can be the hardest part of the day! Concealer is mother’s little helper! Try COVERGIRL + Olay Simply Ageless Concealer, which brightens up your eyes for a wide-awake look while the Olay Regenerist Serum covers fine lines and wrinkles.
- 1 + 2 = 3 Time Saving Products – A product that contains more than one beauty benefit can be a real time saver. Try these three multi-benefit products from COVERGIRL:
COVERGIRL Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation is a primer, concealer and foundation in one.
For a quick pop of color on your nails try COVERGIRL Outlast Nail Gloss which contains a built in top coat.
To cover up those dark circles, try COVERGIRL + Olay Concealer Balm which is a concealer that is also infused with emollient-rich serum. - Bath Time is a Must – For a busy mom it’s hard to carve out time to wash your face before bed. Try to sync your schedule with your children’s so you can make time to keep you skin fresh and clean.
- Date Night – A little lip color can go a long way and transform your daytime mommy look, to date night glam! Try COVERGIRL Jumbo Gloss Balm for a sheer pop of color, or LipPerfection Lip Color for a deeper more vibrant lip color. Both also have moisturizing ingredients which will keep your lips refreshed.
- Mom-Only Brunch – When you’re a mom, your life revolves around your kids. Whenever I have an afternoon with the girls, I like to spice up my day-to-day look by adding a little life to my eyes. I love Clump Crusher by LashBlast Mascara to really bring volume to my lashes. The water-resistant formula is also great for any unforeseen moments.
- Treat Yourself – Sometimes you don’t always have time for yourself, but it’s important to treat yourself, even if it’s something small. I always have my clients invest in a face masque that is meant to be slept in. Wake up with glowing skin, a treat for all, but especially a multi-tasking mom!
