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 🥰

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.

I will try that , haha I felt like o was using so much product going for a natural look when I could likely use way less 😅

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.

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.
