Mix peppermint oil in lipgloss
Want a quick and natural way to plump your lips? Place a couple of drops of organic peppermint oil into your favorite lip gloss. Shake and done!
Go with a natural eyeshadow
Who has time for blending and doing a smoky eye look? Instead go for the no-makeup makeup look and choose a natural eye shadow that will make your eyes pop and give you an effortless "I woke up like this" look.
Go with a long-wear foundation
If you don't want a makeup meltdown on your face, go with a lightweight and breathable long-wear foundation. Apply only in areas needed. Just a few sweeps and you'll be good to go!
Contour in 1, 2, 3
Let's face it. You aren't a celebrity makeup artist. There's no need to contour your entire face with several color palettes. Instead, go with one shade that's slightly darker than your natural skin tone. Make a number 3-shaped sweep starting at the top of your eyebrow, going down your eye crease and circling the apples of your cheeks.
Remove build-up in curly hair
It could be easy to skip on washing your hair when you're busy with the kiddies. Remove oil build-up by applying apple cider vinegar to your wet hair and then finishing with conditioner.
Give mascara some love
If your mascara is looking too clumpy, add a couple of drops of contact solution and shake. I swear by this!
Dry shampoo is your friend
If you don't have time for a wash, make sure you keep dry shampoo on hand. A couple of sprays will leave your tresses looking fresh in just seconds.
Cream lipsticks for cheeks
When you're in a rush, you want products that will multi-task. Go with cream lipsticks that you can apply as blush too. One product for two uses!
Store your lipstick in the refrigerator
To avoid a melty lipstick, store your favorite shades in the refrigerator. It will also increase their lifespan.
Go with a facial mist
If you don't have time to apply any makeup, spray on a facial mist that will give you a well-rested and dewy look in seconds. Spray and done!
