My 5 Minute Makeup Routine (Perfect For Busy Mamas!)

My Five Minute Face

Hi, sweet friends. I had a few hours of free time yesterday, so I did what any mama of 3 little ones would do: I showered in peace. Then, I did my 5 minute makeup routine. And it felt GOOD.

Most days, I’ve been neglecting the little things that make me feel like me. I prioritize the big thing – working out (I shared my current at home routine yesterday), but the little things have been overlooked. Understandably, since these days we are all just trying to get by.

But, I can’t tell you what a difference it makes in my mood when I take 5 minutes – yes, for real, JUST 5 minutes – to put on some makeup.

I filmed this 5 minute makeup video yesterday to share with you. There’s no contouring. No eyeshadow or eyeliner or fake lashes or microbladed brows. It’s a quick, easy, REAL look at my 5 minute face.

Head to the bottom of the post for a real-time video!

CHARLOTTE TILBURY MAGIC CREAM

As a mom of three littles, it's hard to make time to get ready, so I'm sharing a 5 minute makeup routine routine to help you feel good.
I’ve been using this moisturizer for a few years. I like it as a base for my makeup, so I tend to use it in the morning. It’s thick, but not goopy and doesn’t feel thick on my face. A little goes a long way.

CHARLOTTE TILBURY WONDERGLOW FACE PRIMER

As a mom of three littles, it's hard to make time to get ready, so I'm sharing a 5 minute makeup routine routine to help you feel good.
This face primer is a such an easy way to achieve a dewy look. It’s not heavy and doesn’t make you look like a disco ball. Instead, it just gives you a little glow that is amazing. I put in on after my moisturizer.

TARTE SHAPE TAPE CONCEALER

As a mom of three littles, it's hard to make time to get ready, so I'm sharing a 5 minute makeup routine routine to help you feel good.
This little wonder is the game-changer. I haven’t worn foundation since I added this concealer into my daily routine.

CHARLOTTE TILBURY FILMSTAR BRONZE & GLOW CONTOUR DUO

As a mom of three littles, it's hard to make time to get ready, so I'm sharing a 5 minute makeup routine routine to help you feel good.
This is by far my favorite ever bronzer. I love that it comes with a highlight – but it’s not too harsh.

VANITY PLANET BLEND MAKEUP BRUSHES

As a mom of three littles, it's hard to make time to get ready, so I'm sharing a 5 minute makeup routine routine to help you feel good.
I wasn’t sure about these blending brushes, but I’ve been loving them. They really do make blending a breeze.

BEAUTYCOUNTER COLOR DEFINE BROW PENCIL

As a mom of three littles, it's hard to make time to get ready, so I'm sharing a 5 minute makeup routine routine to help you feel good.
My favorite brow pencil! Because I really have no brows. I have it in the medium shade.

BEAUTYCOUNTER BRILLIANT BROW GEL

As a mom of three littles, it's hard to make time to get ready, so I'm sharing a 5 minute makeup routine routine to help you feel good.
I included this brow gel in My Favorite Beauty Finds of 2019 post because it’s the best I’ve tried. I pencil in my brows first and then top it off with this to make them look more natural and help them last all day. I have it in Neutral Medium Brown.

L’OREAL PARIS VOMUNIOUS PRIMER + L’OREAL PARIS VOLUMINOUS LASH PARADISE MASCARA

I’ve tried so many mascaras over the past 6 months or so, and this pair was the clear winner. The primer is a game-changer and really helps my lashes look fuller all day long.
