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!

User AvatarAs 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.
