A quick and easy makeup routine to prep you up for Zoom meetings – perfect for busy Mompreneurs!

 

Clean your face

Having a clean canvas to work with is the first step, make sure to clean your face thoroughly removing the dirt and oil that built up overnight. This makes the makeup application cleaner and easier. It also promotes a healthy skincare routine that can prevent breakouts and improve the appearance of your skin.

 

Moisturise your skin

After washing your face, apply a good facial moisturiser to hydrate and nourish your skin. A good facial cream will give your skin a healthy glow with just the right shimmer without appearing too glamorous on video calls.

If your meeting will be outside, consider purchasing a moisturiser with sunscreen to help protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun, this will also help your skin remain youthful. A good moisturised will effectively reduce the need for much foundation as it mixes well with a good moisturiser.

 

Apply foundation

Less is more with a good foundation application. With the right colour match to your complexion, a light coverage of foundation whether liquid or powder form, will help smooth your complexion, especially around the eyes.

 

Fill your eye brows

A quick addition of a well matched eye brow pencil will help define and fill in your eye brows, this will be noticeable on camera and will help to add more shape to your brows.

 

Apply a coat of mascara

A quick mascara application will add fullness to your lashes, helping your eyes appear larger on screen.

 

Add a touch of bronze

The camera can often times leave you looking washed out. Therefore a small amount of bronzer to your temples, cheekbones and jawline will give your face more depth on screen and give you a healthy glow.

 

Give your lips some lasting colour

Lastly, apply a lipstick shade to highlight your lips. Alternatively for quick and long lasting colour, use a lip tint of your chosen shade, these are great alternative for smudge proof colour.

 

Non-essential make up items

You can skip the eyeliner and eyeshadow since they are not very visible on screen and are much more time consuming to apply and remove.

Using an efficient makeup routine to create a simple and professional work at home look

As a wedding makeup artist in Melbourne, I can tell you that the makeup process that I go through for each of my clients is very extensive and requires a ton of products.

However what mompreneurs need is an essentials-only list. By passing the extras and the products that aren’t worth their time in application, you can use the most effective products and techniques without wasting any of your precious time. Remember what you’re aiming for is a simple and professional makeup look that can be done within a few minutes using only a few steps.

The technique for fast but professional-looking makeup is to focus on highlighting your facial features. There is no need to change the way you look or completely make yourself over for the screen, it is not about changing your features of hiding imperfections to a picture-perfect complexion, it is about enhancing what you have and giving yourself a little boost with a healthy glow.

 

Bronzer to the rescue – The favourite essential makeup tool of Mompreneurs

Many women underestimate the power of a little bronzer. A good bronzer can come to your rescue when you are feeling drained from a rough night with the kids or looking a bit pale.

Adding a light touch of sun kissed colour to your cheekbones, temples and jawline can do wonders for giving you a healthy glow that translates on the screen.

Keep these makeup tool essentials within reach for a simple and time-efficient makeup routine. Keeping in mind that this simple day time routine can easily be tweaked for a fancier look with a stronger lip colour and a little eye shadow.

An important note is to routinely clean your makeup tools to prevent the bacterial spread onto your skin, reducing the likely hood of break outs.

 

Mastering your morning efficient makeup routine

Mastering a go-to make up routine for busy mornings will give you a confidence boost for your next meeting, whether it be with colleagues or with a client. A healthy glow with a neat hairstyle and clothing will ooze professionalism in your next meeting. If you’re stretched for time to get to a hair salon, consider the idea of a mobile hairdresser that comes to you, this will save you time and help keep your mompreneur image professional.
