I headed over to one of my Facebook mama groups to get a roundup of “makeup must-haves”. Moms have some of the best tips for everything – makeup being one of them. Why? Because, we want coverage while also looking natural. Keep reading to see makeup must-haves from 20 moms plus some of my own!
Makeup…a mamas best friend!
Well, maybe not to all but I definitely love mine. For some, makeup is a form of art, a way to show their creative side. But, for most? It’s a cover up for those dark circles and baggy eyes – the evidence of sleepless nights (aka: motherhood). It’s a way to hide those sun spots, from too much sun exposure as a young adult. We use it to cover the fine lines we’ve created from smiling too much over time. It’s a way to feel put together, even when our life is a total mess. These are just a few of the many reasons why makeup is our BFF.

I am a makeup die hard. this post is so much fun for discovering new brands and new products
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed reading it!
Great list. Moms need some good make up
Yes! Yes, we do!
I love tape shape concealer. it is the best out there. it covers my eye circles better than any other concealer. there were some brands mentioned here that are new to me. i will have to check them out.
That one I have not tried but sounds like I should! I’ve been using Kat Von D and it works great!
I also really love the Burt’s Bees natural conditioning lip scrub.
Yess it’s so awesome!
Lots of good ideas to try here. I am so bad about makeup. I never change things up. Look forward to trying something new
Gosh, I feel like I am always changing up – with my concealer/mascara anyway. It’s great though if you can find something you love so much you don’t have to switch up!
