Beauty tips : Easy makeup for moms on the go

When a houseful of children or a busy workload leaves little time for yourself, beautifying your appearance is still possible. Follow these easy steps and learn how to achieve a trendy look in five minutes tops!

1) Start by applying CC cream to your face and neck. CC cream is a colour-correcting product that helps cover redness and pigmentation defects, in addition to hydrating and brightening the skin. Some excellent products include Biotherm's new Aquasource CC gel that allows the skin to breathe, giving it a natural glow without a mask effect. For those who love basking in the sun, we recommend Neutrogena's Healthy Skin CC cream—a CC cream formulated with SPF 30 to provide broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection.  

2) To enhance your eyes, choose a lash-volumizing mascara. A great pick is CoverGirl's two-step Bombshell mascara. Simply apply the base coat, followed by the intensifying topcoat.  

3) Finish off your look with lipstick. Try Maybelline's Color Elixir, available in 20 sensational shades that deliver the comfort of a balm with the shine of a gloss. Overall, in addition to a fresh look, this elegant makeup routine takes only three minutes!

For a more elaborate look, take an extra minute or two to apply a well-defined line to your eyelids with Annabelle's Smudgeliner. You can even create that smoky eye look by blurring the liner with the smudge brush the pencil comes equipped with.  

For lightning fast makeup, try Jouviance's 3-in-1 cream-powder Beauty Stick. It can be applied to cheeks, lips and eyelids. Keep this magic beauty stick close so you can freshen and refreshen your face in a flash! Available online in four different shades
