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.
