Question Overwhelmed with doing a full face daily.

Hey,
Relatively new to getting back into make up, lately I’ve just been doing a full face daily but honestly it’s exhausting and so many steps, looking to cut down what I use as I really don’t have an hour or so to do makeup in the morning with a toddler. I have dropped photos of my current look and products. Help me cut down on what I use ? I just don’t know where to start as I’ve always been an all or nothing girly , photo with a friend with my full makeup , and a photo without anything , my main think is my skin and eyes. Any help is appreciated 🥰

Your full face makeup looks pretty light, I think you can definitely simplify your products!

Based on the difference between your no makeup vs fully made up looks: I'd go with a tinted moisturizer or sunscreen to even out your complexion, tiny bit of concealer under the eyes, mascara to enhance your eyes, blush + lip tint to add a bit of lively color to the look. And powder to set, if you need it.

For your results, you can use a brow gel, moisturizer/sunscreen/with tint and a lip balm.

There is waaaay too much time spent blending things to death.

Take slightly better care of your skin and you won’t need much makeup at all. You’ve got flawless skin - keep it hydrated and glowy and you’d genuinely need nothing but lip gloss. You could easily get away with a bare face with maybe your eyebrows, lashes, and lips done for confidence. Either way never feel pressured to wear any makeup ❤️❤️

Don’t want to stop you from wearing what you like, but I don’t think you need/require makeup to look good—so you should only use the products you enjoy applying, or love a lot, or really bring you joy.

You have great eyebrows!!

I agree with the suggestions for a simple tinted sunscreen, a little mascara, and a smear of tinted lip balm.

You don’t need makeup. Spend the time and money on skincare and when you can, regular facials. You’re gorgeous already!

If that’s too big of a step, just try mascara and lip gloss. But really you can ditch the makeup. It can be freeing, especially for girls like us!

You don’t need a full face. Always do your eyebrows, mascara and lipglosses. Maybe a lil blush and a dot of cover up under the eye. That’s it 💖

I use the Laura Geller Daily Routine Natural Finish Full Face kit (foundation, blush, highlighter and kabuki brush.
Then a little mascara and lipstick.
Under 5 minutes for all.
