5 Beauty Products Cool, Busy Moms (Not Regular Moms) Swear By
October 05, 2018Here’s something you need to take a moment to consider: Mommy bloggers are the real MVPs of social media. On top of being the parent of a wild (but adorable) kid or kids, they’re also badass influencers with massive to-do lists and non-stop tasks. If you already have a solid number of them popping up in your Insta feed, you’re well aware that plenty of them are also on top of their makeup game. And if you’re new to this, we have some awesome cool-mom beauty recs you’ll want to give the follow to ASAP.
So what’s their secret? What products do they use to get flawless, Instagrammable makeup first thing in the morning? To find out, we slipped into their DM’s for their makeup must-haves. Ahead, find out some of the best products cool moms swear by and why. Because even if you’re years away from thinking about becoming a mom yourself, these ladies and their makeup picks are goals.
For an IG page and family that’s ridiculously adorable, check out Bethany Ciotola. You’ll fall in love with her profile and her blog, which is full of all the lifestyle inspo you could ever need. She recommends Olay Luminous Whips as her go-to multipurpose beauty product. “I have sensitive/combination skin so I’m super aware of everything I choose to use on my face and this moisturizer is the holy grail of drugstore skincare, Ciotola explains. “It works as my primer/moisturizer and SPF so it’s the only product I need to use after getting out of the shower and before putting on makeup which when you’re a mom is a godsend since you have all of about 5-10 minutes to get ready on a daily basis.”
Blogger Christina Brown of LoveBrownSugar.com appropriately dubbs herself a “mompreneur” and we’re into it. She’s also a beauty lover and one product she can’t live without as a busy mom is red lipstick. “I swear by The Lip Bar’s “Bawse Lady” red. It’s perfect for all shades and it stays on all day.”
“I really, really love the e.l.f. Brow Pencil,” Holden explains. “It’s super affordable ($2.00), really pigmented, has a spoolie brush and super smooth application. I love eyebrow products specially because eyebrows shape the face and filled in brows can change your appearance a lot.”
Whether you know her for her role on “The Hills” or you’re obsessed with her lifestyle brand, Whitney Port crushes it as a mom and blogger. Port recommends IT Cosmetics CC cream as a great complexion product. “It’s my go-to tinted moisturizer. It evens out my skin tone while giving me a glow and not making me feel like I am wearing so much base. I swear by it!”
