Hi lovely's! I’m so excited to share my everyday makeup routine — the one that keeps me feeling fresh, confident, and ready to tackle mum life with two little girls in tow 💗
Whether I’m doing nursery runs, filming content, or squeezing in a bit of self-care, this routine is quick, affordable, and packed with products I genuinely love.
💫
Step 1: Skin Prep = A Must
Before anything goes on my face, I take 2 minutes (literally!) to prep:
· Cleanser – Something gentle and fresh
· Hydrating serum or primer – I love how this gives my skin a glowy base
· Moisturiser – Keeps everything smooth all day
💡 Mum tip: Keep your skincare in a little caddy so you can grab it even if the toddler’s climbing on you!

Step 2: Base Makeup — Quick & Light
I go for something breathable and easy:
· Garnier BB Cream or Tinted Moisturiser – Light but evens me out perfectly
· Concealer – Under my eyes and around my nose (because hello, no sleep)
· Translucent powder – Just a tiny bit to set things in place
✨
Step 3: Cheeks & Glow
· Blush – Cream or powder, depending on my mood (rosy pinks are my fave)
· Highlighter – A swipe on the cheekbones = instant glow-up

Step 4: Eyes in Under 3 Minutes
· NYX Brow Pencil – Quick fill-in, nothing too dramatic
· Neutral Eyeshadow – One shimmer shade across the lid = done
· Mascara – Lengthening, because my eyes need help 😅
💋
Step 5: Lips to Finish
· Lip balm + NYX Butter Gloss – Soft pink or nude shades
· Optional: I’ll sometimes wear a matte liquid lipstick if I’m filming!
💕
Final Touches
· A spritz of setting spray or a refreshing mist
· If I’m filming or going out, I’ll add lashes or a cat-eye flick
