Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Daily Makeup for a Busy Mom

March 8, 2018 by Katie Haller

You will rarely find me without makeup on.  Unless I’m working out, at the pool or I just got out of bed, I always wear makeup.  I think that makeup is one of the best things about being a girl!  Every morning, I set aside a little bit of time to put on my daily makeup.  It doesn’t take me long and I always feel like it makes such a difference.

If you don’t wear makeup every day, I can understand how you might be a little overwhelmed by it all.  There are so many different products and makeup brushes.  I mean, even I get overwhelmed when I walk into a Sephora store and start to question if I am supposed to be using all these different products.  Over the years, I’ve done a lot of experimenting with my makeup.  After watching lots of YouTube tutorials and reading a lot of beauty bloggers, I finally have a good routine down for how I apply my makeup everyday.  I switch up my makeup products, but my routine usually stays the same.

I mostly wear budget-friendly drug store brands, with the exception of a few things.  Maybelline and e.l.f. are just a couple of my favorite brands.  I’d love to one day start wearing a few more higher-end products, especially with my foundation, but as of right now, drug store brands work just fine.  I really think it’s all how you apply your makeup that makes all the difference.  I use eco tools or e.l.f. brushes to apply most of my makeup and I have a beauty blender that I like to use for my concealer.


Since I have a hard time writing down in words my daily makeup routine, I decided to make my very first video to show you how I apply my makeup daily.  Hopefully you will find it helpful!

    Oh YES!! I needed this post! I’m constantly struggling with even getting makeup on! And if I’m honest, there have been times I forgot to use mascara on one side. <3

    I love easy makeup routines and tips. As long as I have lipstick, mascara and some eyeliner I'm good to step out of the house 😉

    I hope it can be helpful to you! Don't worry I have done the same thing with the mascara.

    I use the Loreal True Match foundation and I think it's pretty good! I've heard positive things about the Wet & Wild too photo focus too though so I might try that next!
