Time is precious especially for new moms. As a mommy of two little ones, I know what it means to have limited time to ourselves, and this often leaves us without any time to walk out of the house with a face that is remotely decent. To help you get through this phase easily, here are some makeup tips to help you step out and know with confidence how gorgeous you actually are.
Tip # 1: Concealer is your best friend.
A good concealer is the perfect tool to balance your skin tone and make you look like you got a full eight hours of sleep. Be sure to dab a bit under your eyes and around your nose as well as any spots or blemishes.

Tip # 2: Lip and cheek tints are glorious.
Lip and cheek tints are the easiest way to give your skin a natural flush without having to worry about time. Just swipe on your cheekbones, lips, and the bridge of your nose for a little healthy color.

MILK MAKEUP LIP + CHEEK, P1,750: A multi-use stick that can be used to give your face a natural flush and much-needed moisture with its mango butter, peach nectar, and avocado oils.
Tip # 3: Brow game strong.
It took me a while to figure this out, but one of the first signs of a groomed face is your eyebrows. And if you’re one of those who sadly weren’t blessed with thick detailed brows, I recommend being sure to give them a swipe or two of powder or colored wax before stepping out your door.

Tip # 4: Taupe eyes are fool proof.
If you don’t have time to do your eye makeup daily (and really, how many of us do?), invest in a beautiful taupe eyeshadow shade that can be used for a quick swipe and blend in the crease, and can also function as an eyeliner and even brow filler.
