Quick Car Makeup Tips - for every on-the-go Mom

by Nicole Hild May 2, 2023

I'm all about easy makeup! As a mom of 4, I am always on the go, and having a quick and easy makeup routine is a must for me. Most days that I do wear makeup, I'm putting it on in the car, using natural light, which is my favorite way to apply my makeup.

Here are a couple tips and tricks if you're on the go and needing a quick and easy makeup routine!

1. Have your makeup bag filled with ONLY the things you will be using. This way, you're not fumbling around sifting through empty mascara tubes or lipsticks that are so last season. Trust me, cleaning out your makeup bag will save you TIME, and time is GOLD!

2. Have makeup wipes or in my case, baby wipes handy in the car! If you apply your tinted moisturizer with your hands like me, then you'll need something to clean up your hands with.

3. If you are on the go while applying makeup, DUH, please don't do it at a stop light... Just pull over and park, or find my favorite spot - the Target parking lot. If you will be in your car, try to find a shaded spot. The harsh sunlight will not help with seeing if you're blending properly and if you're going to take a cute selfie, the direct sunlight will make you squint!

Some current makeup staples when I'm doing my 10 min car makeup:

@iliabeauty Skin Tint

@supergoop glow screen

@youniqueproducts pressed blusher

@youniqueproducts brow liner

@elfcosmetics non smudge eyeliner

@flutterhabit lashes (current fave style: Snowdrop)

@wetnwildbeauty bronzer in Ticket to Brazil used as highlight

@colourpopcosmetics blotted lip in Super Mellow

Easy Peasy! And I feel so glowy and fab! Honestly, any longer than 10 minutes and I'm not doing it!

Hope this helps!
