Fast Hair and Makeup Tips for Moms to Look Fabulous
We’ve teamed up with Janelle Tavormina, Hair and Makeup expert and creator of LOOK, A Beauty Blog for an exciting Mother’s Day Makeover event!
As a mom of an active 3 year old and sleepless 6 month old, as well as running WhatEveryBabyNeeds.com, I have little time for myself. I know I’m not alone! A common mom dilemma, Janelle and I thought we could inspire some moms how to be able to quickly pull that hair up in a great not-your-ordinary-mom-ponytail (my standard go to when time is tight) and makeup tips that will have you out the door looking awake and luminous.
Let me note for a moment that this is how much I love you all…for the benefit of these video tutorials and at Look A Beauty Blog, you will see me in all my un-hairbrushed, makeup free glory that I would otherwise NEVER allow to be photographed!
This tutorial is a playlist of 3 videos: The introduction, The Hair Tutorial and The Makeup. Although in the videos the hair and makeup take longer than just a few minutes, it is for the purposes of demonstration. I tried these after the fact and, although I still need to practice a bit with the bobby pins, I really have been able to do both the hair and makeup in about 7 minutes - doable!
What tips did I get the most out of? The makeup is now my new routine and I love it! I do add eyeliner on occasion, but it's fast and I think it looks great. I also love the idea of lightly teasing my hair - it definitely adds that little extra volume, even when I do just pull my hair back into a basic pony.
We hope this was helpful and has given you some tips and inspiration on how you can still look great in just minutes! What are your tips? Please comment!
