The Everyday Makeup Bag

So my daily routine has changed just a little bit since Baby C came along. My biggest pleasure on any given day is taking a nice hot shower without interruption. Most days I don't get to blow dry my hair, but on days when I do, I feel like a million bucks. One thing I always try to do is put on a little makeup. I guess it makes me feel more "normal" and human, plus I don't look like I just rolled out of bed when the husband comes home. So what's in my makeup bag? Just a few essentials. 

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW 25

MAC Paint Pot in Painterly

MAC Proenza Schouler collaboration Ombre Blush

1. Concealer: for covering up the dark circles from the interrupted sleep I'm getting at night. 
   
2. MAC Paint Pot in Painterly: this evens up the skin tone on my eyelids and makes me look more awake. 
3. Pressed powder: I use MAC Studio Fix. This sets the concealer and helps to make sure my skin looks even without being heavy. 
4. Blush: to make me look like I have actually spent more than 10 minutes at a time outdoors. 
5. Mascara: to open up my eyes a little. 
6. Eyeliner: Not always, but if I know I'll be going on, I'll throw on a little eyeliner. It really helps me look pulled together and like I actually made an effort. 
7. Chapstick: so my lips don't dry out. I like this candy cane one that they had at Christmastime. 
8. It's not makeup, but I ALWAYS have a hair tie on me. 

So there you go, my five-minute makeup routine (sometimes it's even faster!).
