The Essential Makeup Kit Every Mum Needs
The Essential Makeup Kit Every Mum Needs
For mums constantly on the go, an easy, streamlined makeup kit is a lifesaver. From light coverage foundation to versatile lip balms, here’s your go-to guide to creating a practical, everyday makeup kit that ensures you look polished in under 10 minutes.
Face Essentials for Mums
Lightweight Foundation or BB Cream: For an all-over coverage that doesn’t weigh the skin down go for the BB Cream or Tinted Moisturizer. These products give out a natural sheen which makes them very suitable for use during the day. You should go for cheaper BB Creams such as Rimmel BB Cream or Garnier’s BB Cream for they are cheap but effective.
Concealer for Coverage: Blotting creams are somewhat essentials in moments when we cannot take time to apply foundation and cover all imperfections, including dark circles which may appear after night-studies or night-shift. Type of Makeover: Select a product that can work in a short amount of time and still give good results; Maybelline’s Instant Age Rewind Concealer, for example.
Setting Powder: A setting powder used to give a light feel to your skin and to set the makeup in place while also preventing Oiliness. You can go for translucent powders like Rimmel Stay Matte and is effective in giving a natural finish while staying longer.
Blush or Bronzer: Just a blusher or a bronzer and you are good to go – it’s like you just stepped out from the sun. However, for a multi-tasking blush that works for each and every season, check out the Zoeva Coral Spectrum Blush Palette.

Eye Essentials for Every Day
Mascara: A few layers of mascara in general transform the entire face, and the eyes particularly, to a bright and lively pair. Use it on the upper and lower lashes and also to obtain maximum volume without smudging use waterproof mascara if needed.
Eyeliner: If you would like a simple washing without excessively distinct line, then better to stay neutral and paint with brown or charcoal color. I recommend a soft pencil or gel liner because not only are they simple to apply and perfect for those on the go.
Neutral Eyeshadow Palette: Select a smaller range of eyeshadows that are matte and has some shimmer that can be used for later use as well. Choose palettes that are mostly natural; this way, they can be used anywhere, anytime easily.

Lip Essentials for Versatile Style
Tinted Lip Balm: Tinted lip balms give more than mere moisture to the lips while giving the lips a natural tinge of color. It does not take long to comply with and not one of them needs a mirror, therefore it’s perfect for any mum on the go.
Everyday Lipstick or Gloss: On days the lips require a bit of colour addition, find a good lipstick or a shiny gloss appropriate for skin type. Think about an endearing formula that will not require constant reinforcements.
Sheer Lipstick: A sheer lipstick should be included especially when you want a delicate touch of color to be used when going out during the day. This is incredibly light, and it gives my lips a rather subtle shine as they are moisturized.
Lip Liner: Lip liners are handy and you should invest in a nude one for lining your lips and keeping the lipstick from bleeding. It is also useful in making your lip color last longer and also giving a more professional finished look.
Lip Scrub: Lip scrubs should also be included as a regular part of ones beauty regime to ensure ones lips are smooth and free from flak. A healthy base prevents staining thereby improving the hold of the products on to the lip color that they are applied on.
Hydrating Lip Mask: In the evenings or on days when it is not possible to wear lipstick, a fascinating lip mask will give the lips the necessary hydration and a natural shine. This helps keep your lips in good shape and set for any style you want to achieve.
Lip Stain: If you’re going to watch a movie or do some work that requires lipstick to last the full duration of the day, then a lip stain should do the trick and add some color without chapping your lips. It is perfect to be worn on casual and less casual occasions alike.
Clear Lip Gloss: A clear lip gloss can give more definition to your lips and also give your lips a natural shine. It can also be applied all by itself, or over lipstick for that extra definition and thickness.
Must-Have Makeup Tools
Foundation Brush or Beauty Sponge: In case of even dispersion, a beauty blender or a foundation brush will work best. Beauty blenders are particularly taken by ladies as they produce fast natural looking finish.
Blush and Eyeshadow Brushes: The quality of brushes lets the applicator control and glide in a very smooth way. A blush brush assists in the application of color on the cheeks and keeps blending for nice effects; an eyeshadow brush is great for its ability to apply pigment accurately and blend at the same time.
Eyelash Curler: An eyelash curler is a great tool for adding boom and height to lashes, of especially useful if you are running short on time and might even skip eyeliner or eyeshadow.
Concealer Brush: A small concealer brush gives one a quickest and the best way to apply concealer as you need to cover some zits, dark circles or any other imperfection. This is especially made to fit your contour; it has a thin shape that easily fits on the skin.
Brow Brush or Spoolie: Spool or brow brush is another product that is used in shaping of eyebrows. Use it to comb and set the brow in the desired shape and to apply brow color for that neat look.
Lip Brush: A lip brush makes it easier to apply lipstick or a lip gloss since you are able to have neat lines to define the shape much better. For instance, it works best when you want to rock dark lip shades.
Setting Brush: A soft touching setting brush is best used in applying the setting powder or the highlighter. It can be used with light touch, some even use it to set makeup to avoid it looking cakey.
Fan Brush: A fan brush I have found is best for applying highlighter due to the laid-back spreading of the highlighter. It also used for removing any remaining powder or powder dust from eyeshadow.
Makeup Sponge (for Baking): A makeup sponge can be used for some “setting” under the eyes or anywhere on your face where you want to set your concealer or your foundation to keep it from moving or rubbing off.
Sharpener: When used on lip liners and eyeliners and other pencil type products, a good-quality makeup sharpener will help you maintain the tips in perfect condition for perfect draws.

FAQ
Is there a way through which I can enhance the texture of my makeup that I cannot reapply?
Answer: Applying a setting powder or spraying will seal the makeup to ensure that it does not smear all over. There’s always something else to clean up and oil-absorbing sheets are perfect for quick fixes.
What useful makeup product should be used to conceal the dark circles as a mum?
Answer: It is advisable to use a full Coverage concealer especially when it comes to concealing the dark circles. Select an option that is not very thick but is long wearing if you do not want to fix it several times.
What is the proper way of choosing the foundation for your skin tone and type?
Answer: Do the foundation test on the jawline to find the perfect match when examined in natural light. Oily skin requires a matte product while dry skin needs a product that gives the skin a boost and slightly glowing skin.
