Combating Those Tired Mama Eyes
The days are long, but the years are short. Five months into a pandemic, this phrase has never felt truer.
The load of motherhood has felt a bit heavier these days. However, I have good news for you busy and sleepy mamas!
This quick and simple daily routine will help your eyes look visibly brighter, awake, and more youthful. Struggle with eye makeup smudging throughout the day? I have a solution for you too.
If you are like me, a quick self care pick me up at the beginning of the day always helps me to recharge and feel a bit more ready to tackle the day!
First step:
Countertime Ulta Renewal Eye Cream:
This is the MVP of all eye creams. Eye creams are an important part of our skin care regimen. The skin under the eyes is naturally thinner than the rest of the skin and as we age the skin becomes less elastic. Eye creams help to keep the skin hydrated and less puffy and therefore help to decrease the aging process. This eye cream does it all! It helps with puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles. This one leaves my eyes looking visibly brighter and younger looking! I apply day and night. However, if that is too much, it is best to at least apply at night since skin regenerates the most overnight!
Second Step:
Click, cover, & correct. Beautycounter’s Touch up concealer pen is highly blendable and allows for full coverage. Best part, it stays all day long. The concealer pen is formulated with knot grass extract to help reduce the appearance of fine lines. Therefore, skin looks firmer, brighter, and instantly more even. I always have an extra one of these on hand in case I run out!
Third Step:
Emollients can cause mascara to rub off above and below your eyes. Add a bit of loose mattifying powder around the eye (top and bottom) to brighten and set makeup for the day. This trick will prevent any makeup from smudging throughout the day that can make you look tired. Bye bye to raccoon eyes.
Fourth Step:
Safer mascara is a tricky topic because let’s be honest, as women, we want one that is going to work. Mascaras often contain ingredients contaminated with known carcinogens (PEG’s, heavy metals, and Parabens) . So if you are considering a safer swap, mascara is a great starting point! Beautycounter’s volumizing mascara uses natural fibers, as opposed to synthetic which can cause eye irritation, to create fuller and more natural looking lashes. This volumizing mascara is my absolute favorite. It transforms my eyes immediately! I place in a hot glass of water for a couple minutes to give a super smooth application. Beautycounter’s mascara is made of shea & coco butter and therefore the warm water allows the butters to melt perfectly for application.
