On the Run: The Perfect Makeup Look In Under 3 Minutes

3 minute makeup look

It’s that time of year again when the kids are back to school and we’re all running around trying to adjust to the schedule. Frankly, it’s been exhausting and I am now convinced September is just one of the most hectic months of the year! 🙂

Getting the kids fed, dressed, combed, and in the car by 7:30am calls for a quick morning makeup fix (because time is limited and mommy is on the go)!

So to make it easy with no time to spare, I’ve put together this 3 minute makeup look that’s fresh, flawless and lasts all day, using only four products!  It’s an easy morning routine.

Fresh Face in 3 Minutes

Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer

I love this tinted moisturizer because it hydrates my skin and gives it a luminous glow. And since I love anything with SPF, I cannot get enough of it since it also has SPF 20 protection! This formula is made with vitamin C, great for those who struggle with age spots and for those who want brighter skin. It also has hyaluronic acid, making your skin look smoother and feel firmer.  I can’t live my house without it.

Color Shade Eye Duo

What I like about this duo is I never have to think twice about creating an eye look (which saves me time during my crazy mornings!). The eye shadow is satiny, goes on smoothly—it feels very soft on your eyes. I use the lighter shade on my lower lid and the darker one on my crease. It’s a very natural look!

Lengthening Mascara

Made with organic oils and shea butter, it conditions my lashes while I wear it. This soft black mascara doesn’t smudge, clump, or flake. It’s even been given the Best of Beauty Award for 2016 by Allure Magazine! This by far is the best mascara I have ever used. Period.

Lip Gloss

It’s not sticky or goopy and the peony pink is the perfect color for a sophisticated and natural look. It’s my must have! I always pop it in my purse whenever I leave the house so that I can reapply it on-the-go.

This lip gloss goes on smoothly, and has a unique teardrop applicator that gives you just the perfect amount of sheer. You can also use this gloss on top of the Lip Sheer for added color and shine (Twig is everyone’s favorite).
