Raise your hand if you barely have any time to get ready in the morning?!
Me! Me! Me!
I think in some alternate universe I could actually get myself together AND get a three year old out the door AND look as good as the 100+ fashion & beauty blogs that I follow. To those women - you. go. girlfriend. I want so badly to be as put together as you. It's what this mama's dreams are made of.
I'm going to keep trying to problem solve where I'm going wrong - cough, snoozing 70 times - but in the meantime, here is how I keep it simple with seven steps in seven minutes!

I'm going to keep trying to problem solve where I'm going wrong - cough, snoozing 70 times - but in the meantime, here is how I keep it simple with seven steps in seven minutes!
(one) This is a great primer that reduces pores and gives your skin the perfect start to your beauty routine. The product itself lasts forever which is great and it's priced really reasonable. I try to get an even better deal by waiting until Black Friday and stocking up when they run deals ;)
(two) This is a new one for me and yes, yes, YES. I was using Makeup Forever Foundation which I also LOVE but I wanted to try something a little lighter. I've seen a cult following for this NARS tinted moisturizer and after using it for two weeks I agree that everyone is on to something! It's super pigmented so it still gives substantial converge and it's buildable for those problem areas.
(three) This is only $5.99 and makes a good under eye concealer and HIGHLIGHTER! I put this down the bridge of my nose, on my chin, above the top lip and my forehead.
(four) This is an amazing option for contouring in a jiffy. It works on my skin tone BUT I will say that I don't think it would be right for everyone. Blend, blend, blend!
(five) NARS mata hari has been a long time love :)
(six) This is another one I've been using for a long time! Easy to apply after you take the time to teach yourself to use a brush and seriously long lasting.
(seven) This is a good day to day mascara but I have to say I don't discriminate when it comes to mascaras. I buy anything and I think some drug store ones work just as well!
My makeup routine is definitely longer when it's a special occasion but this covers everything I need for most days! I am constantly trying new products - major junkie and I love experimenting! But it always comes down to these seven steps. And if I've had two cups of coffee I can get it done in less than seven minutes ;)
What are your secrets for quick morning makeup?
