As a busy Mom of 2 little girls I don’t have much time for makeup during the day.
It happens to me regularly that I leave the house to bring my toddler to preschool, being super proud I managed to get 2 kids ready in time and out of the house, realizing at the school that I haven’t even brushed my hair since I got out of bed. And for sure I didn’t put any makeup on. This super easy and quick makeup routine helps me to feel good, pretty and confident to leave the house. It uses only the 5 mandatory products for me to really be done in under 5 minutes. I love that I only use vegan, botanical based and tox-free products that also have never be tested on animals.
Step 1: The first step of any makeup look should be a quick application of moisturizer. The Arbonne RE9 Advanced Extra Moisture Restorative Cream with SPF 20 is a great option to wear under makeup because it moisturizes your skin without leaving a greasy residue. If you’ve never tried a moisturizer before, I guarantee that you will like this product. It feels great on your skin and leaves a smooth and soft finish.
Step 2: Next, I use a dampened beauty sponge to apply a light foundation across my face. The Arbonne Pollution Defense CC Cream with a Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen is my favorite that I am wearing almost every day. The CC Cream contains mineral SPF and creates a breathable “second skin” to protect you from everyday pollution. It has a very lightweight formula and gives medium coverage. It comes in 4 different shades. I am using LIGHT.
Step 3: For the third step, I use one of my favorite products the Arbonne Sheer Glow Highlight Stick. It has 2 sides. The bronzer goes across my hairline, temples, underneath my cheekbones, and along my jawline. If you’re not sure how to apply bronzer, just draw a number three on your face starting at the middle of the top of your hairline, moving underneath your cheekbones, and then moving to your jawline. Then use the highlighter side and apply a straight line down your forehead, your nose, above your lips and on your chin. In addition, make a half moon shape under your eyes on top of your cheekbone.
Step 4: To finish the eye look, I apply two coats of black mascara. I used the new Speak Volumes from Arbonne.
Step 5: Last I apply my favorite lipstick or lip gloss. In this look I used Glossed Over Lip Gloss in color Mallow.
