Fall Makeup Look | 5 Minutes
I'm a busy mom of a very active almost 14 month old baby girl. I'm also a 23 week pregnant mama. This means I have limited time to get my makeup done in the mornings. Addison has been taking two naps, but recently, she has been going through a sleep regression. Let me tell you, these regressions are NO JOKE, MAN! She hasn't been napping at all most days, which means I'm normally wearing no makeup, with week old unwashed hair in a messy bun. Anyone else feel me?
This means, when I get time to do my makeup, it needs to be quick and simple. As a mom I don't glam up on a daily basis. I feel most comfortable in a simple, light weight makeup look.
My favorite makeup items usually consist of affordable, drug store products; however, I do tend to use a mixture of higher end and lower end products. On today's blog, I use mainly affordable drug store products. Below are the products used to create this everyday, no makeup, makeup look for fall!

Tarte Blush - (Paaarty)
Mac Lipstick - (Posh Tone)

Cover Girl- Loose Powder
(Translucent Medium 115)
Essence - Pure Nude Highlighter
(#10 Be my highlight)
ALL OF THESE PRODUCTS WILL BE LINKED BELOW.
As I mentioned before, this entire look takes approximately 5 minutes to accomplish. I will be detailing a step by step how how to achieve this simple look.
See below:
1) Apply Cover Girl Foundation with a damp beauty blender to entire face.
2) Wait a few minutes until the foundation has dried, then apply a light coat of Cover Girl Translucent Powder. Apply under eyes, chin, T-zone and any other area that will become oily throughout the day. This varies person to person.
3) Take the e.l.f. Bronzer Palette and apply softly to check bones to bronze up your face. You don't want to contour, just add some color.
4) Take the Tarte Blush and apply to the apples of your cheeks. Use a very light hand for this, as the blush is extremely pigmented.
5) Take the Essence Highlighter and apply to high points of your face, including your brow bone, nose, chin and cupids bow. (this product is also very pigmented)
6) Take the Urban Decay Naked palette --- First, go in mixing the shades Dust and Burnout. Apply to entire lid. Next, go in with the shade Nonner and apply this to your crease. Lastly, you will take the shade Liar and apply this to the outer corners of your eye give your eyes some more depth. Make sure you take a blending brush and blend all of this in. You want this to be a more subtle look.
7) Take the Maybelline Mascara and coat your top and bottom lashes. I tend to coat them both twice. This will give your eyes a more dramatic and intense look.
8) Lastly, take your Mac Lipstick and apply all over lips. I like to apply a lip balm on top of my lips after applying lipstick, just to add a little more shine and make it less dramatic.
