Step-by-Step Guide: Your 5-Minute Mom Makeup Routine

Minute 1: Base Game Strong

• Use a BB cream or tinted moisturizer to even out your complexion.
   
• No time for foundation blending? This is your holy grail.
   
• Dab it in with your fingers for a natural finish.
   

Quick Quote: “A good base hides your tiredness, not your face.”

Minute 2: Conceal the Chaos

• Apply concealer only where needed — under your eyes and around the nose/mouth.
   
• Blend using ring finger. Don’t go overboard.
   

Minute 3: Lock It In

• A light touch of compact powder helps set your base and control shine.
   
• Perfect for Indian humid weather — especially if you’re stepping out for groceries or a meeting.
   

Minute 4: Eyes That Pop

• Use an eyebrow pencil to fill in sparse areas — makes a huge difference.
   
• Swipe kajal or eyeliner for definition. Want more drama? Use mascara.
   
• If you’re really in a rush, just the kajal will do wonders!
   

Minute 5: Fresh & Glowing

• A lip & cheek tint is your 2-in-1 hero.
   
• Dab a little on your cheeks and lips.
   
• It adds life to your face without looking too made up.
   

Beauty Hack: Keep all products in a small pouch near your mirror or in your purse — saves hunt time.

Tips to Make 5-Minute Mom Makeup Even Faster

• Organize your makeup in one place.
   
• Invest in multipurpose products.
   
• Do your routine while your child is brushing or while tea boils!
   
• Don’t aim for perfection — aim for refreshment.
