Make Up Your Face in Five Minutes!

I don't claim to be a make up artist, but I have picked up some tricks of the trade along the way with doing pageants and such.  I find that though I love applying make up, sometimes running behind four children tends to put makeup on the back burner

Over the years I've learned that if you concentrate on your Eyes, Lips, and Cheeks, you will be good to go.  This will not only add a little glamour to your life, but it will also give a natural look and glow to your overall look.
Gather a Few Items:

• Foundation
• Moisturizing Lotion (that you can apply to your face...scented lotions may be an irritant to your skin)
• Eyeliner (in the video I use a Gel liner)
• Mascara
• Blush
• Bronzer
• Lip Gloss
• Lip Stick (A few shades lighter than your lips for a nude look)

So, how do we make the most of our “Mommy Time?” Well, I will list a few tips that help me when I am able to grasp them…and each of these things take a few moments to do, so group them together as they fit for you!
