Today I had the pleasure of being on Rogers Daytime T.V for a Mother's Day makeover segment with Will Nash and Melanie Case. Being a mother myself I can really relate to the challenges mothers face. I know that moms just don't have the time to spend hours in front of the mirror, nor do we have hundreds of dollars to spend on the latest, greatest products every season. So I wanted to show the viewers a Fresh, glowing spring makeup look that is time and budget friendly. The products I have listed below I have personally tried out and keep as staples in my makeup artist kit. So they are not only easy on the budget, they perform and wear great too. Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there. :)
"Step 1. Apply an all in one CC cream that can cover redness, brighten your skin and protect it from harsh UV in one easy product. If you are SPF sensitive then opt for the Garnier BB Cream."
CC Creams, also known as Colour Correcting creams, provide all-in-one skin perfecting benefits for naturally beautiful skin. Like BB Creams (Beauty Balm Creams), they will instantly correct your complexion, plus go one step further to help even your skin tone and reduce the look of dark spots. This tinted lightweight non-greasy moisturizer contains ESSENTIAL SOY® extract to brighten skin and minimize the look of freckles and dark spots for flawless, even looking skin while SPF 30 protects against sunburn. Available in 2 shades: Fair-Light and Light to Medium.

Wake Me Up Concealer
"Step 2. Say goodbye to your under eye darkness and any remaining redness on the face. I love this product! It has a glowing look to it so your under eyes look bright...like you actually slept the night before, but moms know the truth. Keep in mind if you have more than the occasional blemish you should get another concealer specifically to cover your blemishes. I like this concealer for under eye darkness and redness on the nose and chin."
Rimmel's first full coverage concealer Instant anti-fatigue effect with peptides and vitamin moisturising complex. Visibly reawakens and illuminates under the eyes. Completely conceals spots and other blemishes

"Step 3. Time to add a pop of colour! This will give you more naturally flushed cheeks & lips. Spring is all about pinks, corals and soft reds. Two swipes on each cheek and blend in with your finger to the apple of your cheek. Next lightly apply on your lips. Super fast and looks great. Another personal favourite of mine is the Revlon Just bitten kissable balm stains. They stain the lips for long wear and keep the lips soft. I also apply a little to my cheeks and blend it in with a brush or clean fingers."

"Step 4. Apply a long wearing eyeliner gel on the top lid. Pencils tend to smug to easily, so use a waterproof gel or liquid liner so it stays in place and lasts all day. I love L'Oreal's 24 hour black gel liner and as a bonus it comes with a brush for applying."

"Step 5. Time to define your brows! It is all about natural amount of definition. No, you do not need to go crazy and over draw your brows, this product has a gel texture to keep your brows groomed and in place, and a tint of colour to add some definition. If you have very little brow hair, then opt for a brow pencil and add small flicks to mimic brow hair."

"Last step ladies, and it is a very important step. Even if you just don't have time to get your eye liner on, curl your lashes and apply two coats of mascara. This will instantly open up your eyes and give you a much more polished look for the day. I highly recommend MAC's lash curler. Don't buy the plastic lash curlers, use a metal one they are made much better. Then and most importantly, apply mascara. I love Loreal Telescopic! It is amazing on super short and long thick lashes . It has a small comb-like wand that really brushes through every lash for a well defined look."

That's it ladies you did it.... This easy fresh spring makeup is super quick and perfect for moms on the go. Now if you fall into the category of oily skin, you will want to apply some translucent powder here just to set your makeup. I like the Rimmel stay matte pressed powder translucent powder. Lastly if you're like me and still feel just a little pale from the winter, apply some bronzer to your cheeks, temple, nose and forehead after you applied your step #2 the concealer. I like the Rimmal natural bronzer with no shimmer .
In case you are lucky enough to get a babysitter and get a night out, turn this makeup look to a slightly more dramatic night time look by just adding a gray shadow pencil all over the lid and along the under eye. I love Gosh shadow sticks, they last all day with out creasing.
All of these products can be purchased at Wal-Mart or Shoppers Drug Mart. The lip and cheek stick. that can be found inside Georgian Mall at The Body Shop.
