4 Minute Mom Makeup Routine: The Essentials

After I did my initial 10 minute makeup routine, I got a few requests for a 5 minute makeup routine. Hello mom life, after all!! Then my friend with 3 kids gave me the ultimate challenge: a 2 minute makeup routine. Challenge accepted!

So yesterday morning, at 7:40 (school starts at 8 a.m.!), I was scrambling and thought, I’ll video right now and see what I can get on in under 5 minutes.

You check out the video on my Instagram account Cutewithkids or by clicking the small IG icon at the top of the web page, OR….

If you like to proactive tips, I’ve summarized the top 3 takeaways:

1. Keep all of your 5 minute makeup products in 1 spot, like a vanity or bathroom drawer, and keep it in a small makeup bag.
2. Use a tinted mineral sunblock or BB cream to even out skin.
3. If you run out of time, grab that makeup bag and toss it in your purse or diaper bag, and you can finish in the car!
