Mom Makeup for Beginners

in Beauty, Makeup, Self Care on 12/18/19

A Beginner’s Guide to Mom Makeup

I used to think that everyday mom makeup was pointless. It either didn’t do enough to make a difference or it made me feel like a completely different person (and not in a good way); it certainly wasn’t worth all the time it took.

I mean, sure, makeup had its place in my life, like going out for date night or dressing nice for church, but that was about it. It wasn’t until I realized how much I had lost myself over the years of being a wife and mother that I started to change my thinking. Then I found some products which were quick, were easy, and made me feel good while still feeling like myself.

My entire world changed.

Okay, maybe not my entire world, but a pretty decent chunk of it. When you suddenly start remembering you are beautiful after years and years of believing otherwise, that’s a pretty big deal. Well, I’m here to remind you of this truth: YOU are beautiful and YOU are worth taking a few minutes of your day to highlight that.

What is Mom Makeup?

Mom’s give their all. It’s in the job description. You give, and give, and give. But what if, for just a few moments, you put yourself first?

Mom makeup simplifies the busy woman’s makeup routine. It allows her the freedom to live life outside of the bathroom and gives her the confidence to know she is uniquely beautiful. It’s a statement that she is worth the time and she can have it all.

It’s hard, isn’t it? How often we believe that to best serve our family we must give everything we have! But hear me when I say this: intentionally making small efforts to enrich yourself will also enrich all those around you. You are not selfish. In just a few minutes each day, you will find a little self-care only magnifies the all you have to give.

How to Get Started

Look in the mirror. Really look. Now, tell yourself these two things: I am beautiful and I am worth it. Did you do it? I mean it! Stop reading and look in the mirror. Affirm the truth of your beauty. Only then can you discover if there are products that might be right for you. I don’t mean something that’s going to cover you up, but just touches that will emphasize your unique features. Remarkably subtle techniques will show off what is already there.

If that sounds intimidating (because it did to me! Have you seen that makeup aisle?!), then let me assure you, it doesn’t have to be. Imagine this: no more giant bags and totes filled with individual containers of concealer, BB cream, foundation, blush, highlighter, contour, bronzer, setting powder, eyeliner, and eyeshadow. No more trying to determine if you should use “Color Me Ghostly” or “Fell Asleep in the Tanning Bed.” I’m talking about simplifying, so all your makeup… for your entire face… fits in one customized compact.

I can help you. I want to help you. After first learning to help myself and then helping many other women like me, I’m confident I can help you too. Just send me a snapshot of yourself, and we can start this journey together.

Tips for Success

  • Send me a clear picture of yourself without makeup in soft, natural light.
  • I will prepare your personal color match.
  • Together, we will build your customized compact — the complete set of colors and techniques to uncover your best features.
  • Receive your makeup, an email with tips for applying your simplified beauty routine, and an optional one-on-one video chat where I will help you during your first makeover.
  • Practice! Take a few moments daily to use these new techniques and get comfortable with your new routine. For the first week or so, allow yourself 15 to 20 minutes to really develop your new skills.
  • As your confidence builds, spend 3 to 10 minutes each day (depending on your desired look).
  • Now, go forth and slay the day!

Hey there!

As a mom of five young kids, I find myself perpetually busy. I often hear, "how on earth do you do it all?" Well, let me fill you in on a little secret: I don't! I have learned instead how to find the good among the chaos, making it more manageable. I'm still learning. I hope this space can help you do the same. Because life may be crazy, darling, but that is where the beauty lies.

We cut, sewed, glued, dyed, painted, buzzed, and knit to bring this year’s theme together. It was definitely a family effort this year and I think it may be our best yet.
Has your inner voice been bringing you down? It mi Has your inner voice been bringing you down? It might have sounded like this:

- You are not enough
- You aren’t lovable
- You are a failure
- You’re overreacting
- It’s too late

Honestly, the list could go on and on. After all, we’re our own worst critics. Right?

But it doesn’t have to be that way. It shouldn’t be that way. It’s time to take back your power and stop believing those lies. Make it RAIN!

1️⃣ Realize you’re being a jerk to yourself. 

2️⃣ Accept and acknowledge that the thought happened. Don’t beat yourself up further!

3️⃣ Investigate what is truth, exaggeration, or false perception. 

4️⃣ “NOPE” to the negativity and switch to a neutral or positive

- I love myself for who I am now
- I trust that ______ loves me
- Failing is okay, it means I tried
- These feelings are okay
- I can start now

Slow down. Analyze your thoughts. Flip the script.

You deserve a happier you.

Good things come to those who wait. 3 years and 8 Good things come to those who wait. 3 years and 8 months, almost to the day, and I’m a braceface no more! It’s crazy to think this was the first time my youngest has EVER seen me without braces. 

It was a long, long road with lots of frustrations, complications, and delays, but it just makes today that much sweeter. Now to eat Indian Korma without the fear of staining brackets and caramel apples without worrying about knocking anything off.
Oftentimes women put themselves at the end of thei Oftentimes women put themselves at the end of their to-do lists—or don't even put themselves on the list at all! This is scary when you think about health care to-do lists.

Studies found that most women ranked their time spent managing health care in the following order:

1. Children
2. Pets
3. Elder relatives
4. Spouse or significant others
5. Themselves

I put myself as priority #1 today and went to the optometrist to update my prescription. (Hello crazy dilated eyes!) Turns out that my eyes have changed so much that I jumped 5 whole lines in the eye exam. No wonder I’ve been struggling with blurred vision and headaches!

Do you struggle making your health a priority? What if there was a way for you to easily manage not only your family’s needs, but yours as well? Are you ready to make yourself a priority?
Do you ever feel like the grief you carry isn’t Do you ever feel like the grief you carry isn’t legitimate? That it’s too small or too old or you’re too blessed? 

I’ve felt that.

Ten years ago today I experienced my second miscarriage. The first time it happened so early I didn’t even realize what was happening until a nurse at my university clinic told me. This time we thought we were far enough along it was “safe” to tell our families. I was so devastated I asked my sister to tell everyone for me because I couldn’t bear saying the words another time. Yet, I didn’t feel like it was right for me to grieve for long because I had a healthy seven month old baby to love and the pregnancy had been a surprise. I thought I was wrong to feel so sad when I had friends who hadn’t been able to get pregnant at all. I didn’t believe I was allowed true grief. But the hole in my heart remained.

Over the years the pain of loss dulled and the thoughts of what could have been became less frequent. Yet the guilt of grief was still there when they came. Who was I, mom to five beautifully rambunctious girls, to mourn such early losses from so long ago?

I’ve come to realize that grief isn’t bound by size or time or blessings. We don’t recover from grief, we grow in it. Grief provides perspective on our immense capacity for finding strength and becomes part of how we share our humanity.

So if you’ve ever felt like the grief you carry isn’t legitimate, I’m here to tell you it is and you are allowed to feel it.

✨ Are you ready to build greater self-esteem?

✨ Are you ready to clarify who you are, what you want, what you value and believe?

✨ Are you ready to focus on yourself and your well-being?

✨ Are you ready to enhance your mental health and emotional well-being?

✨ Are you ready to develop independence?

✨ Are you ready to gain a greater sense of identity?

It can be tricky navigating how to identify, set, and enforce boundaries, but you don't have to do it alone. If you are ready to see boundaries work their magic in your life and don't know where to start, I have the guidance you need. In just a few weeks I'll be launching my flagship course, The Boundary Breakdown, where I'll walk you through the five steps to becoming a boundaried person, guilt-free.

Are you ready?
I’m an enneagram type 6, which basically means I I’m an enneagram type 6, which basically means I’m a natural worrier. If you look it up, often the first thing noted about type sixes is we “anticipate life’s dangers.”

When I walk into a building I note where exits are.

When I’m driving, I’m hyper-vigilant about what other drivers around me are doing, anticipating mistakes they might make.

When I’m planning any event I think about all the things that can go wrong, what I’ll do to minimize the likelihood of it happening, and how I’ll respond if it does.

For me, thinking of the worst calms me because I know I’m prepared should it happen. I handle chaotic situations extremely well because, more often than not, I’ve played through a similar scenario in my head already.

I’ve spent the last few days updating our “bug out bags” or 72-hour kits. It’s been on my to-do list for a while and knowing it’s finally done has brought me an immense amount of peace. Hopefully we won’t ever need them, but they’re ready in case we do.

I’m fascinated by enneagrams and what they can teach us about ourselves. I always felt like such a weirdo for thinking the way I do, until I read about the enneagram. Turns out I’m not alone! Though probably still weird. 😉

Tell me, what’s your enneagram number? How have you seen it manifest in your life?
