5 Minute Summer Beauty for Busy Moms

5 Minute Summer Makeup
Humid, sticky, hot, but without the Mai Tai and the Cabana boy....what's a busy woman to do? This season's got me revamping my whole makeup routine just to find some extra time to stay cool. Here are some quick makeup tricks that can not only revitalize your look and help keep your cool in a busy day.
1. Grab that self-tanner...for the face. By adding a little bit of color to your skin already, you'll find that you don't need to pack on the foundation and concealer as much. And you can go as light or as dark as you want. A favorite: Neutragena's Spray on Tanner . I know it's for the body, but it's one of the few that doesn't cause breakouts....and it's quick and easy to put on. Just spray your hands and apply onto your face like you would moisturizer. Than be sure to wash your hands. Another fav is Neutrogena's Moisturizer SPF 15 in the tinted form. It's 3 steps (moisturizer/sunscreen/color) in 1.
2. Apply a light dusting of a light yellow Loose Powder over clean skin first. By applying first before foundation, it helps keeps foundation on longer without melting. It also lightens up redness, and keeps dewy skin looking fresher longer, before it turns into a shiny greasy mess. This step is a must to looking light all day.
3. Apply a Shine Control Product, like Origin's just on the t-zone, and on eyelids as a eye shadow base...anywhere you feel you need a little extra touch.
