Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Gifts for Moms Who are Obsessed with Makeup

Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Gifts for Moms Who are Obsessed with Makeup

When you’re a mother, you’re always pressed for time. With the kids and the husband bring a priority, it’s often the case that women who are mothers don’t have time for themselves. That’s why sometimes a mom’s makeup routine has to be cut in half, because there are so many other pressing matters to attend to. But of course, that doesn’t mean a mother can’t look presentable. In this Mother’s Day Gift Guide, we’re counting down some of the best gifts for moms who are obsessed with makeup and won’t go without it despite their hectic schedules. Before we head over to that list, however, here are some mom-approved makeup tips from makeup artist and mother Laura Geller.

 

  • Go for powder foundation to get the best coverage. Laura Geller suggested to Parents Magazine that powder foundation is best for on-the-go moms who don’t have time to perfectly blend liquid or cream foundations. It can also be used to cover up those eye bags!
  • It’s all about the eyes. Geller recommends spending time on doing your eyeliner, eyelashes, and eyebrows to make your face come alive. Go for mascara that is a deep black so you can just swipe and go, and even forget about putting mascara on your lower lashes. Go for waterproof gel eyeliner that will stay put all day because who has time for touch ups when you have brunches and playdates to attend?
  • Blush can be used more ways than one. Geller said that putting blush on the cheeks can bring a glow to the face, but adding it to the eyelids can definitely level up your makeup game.

Find all the great gifts for moms who are obsessed with makeup in this Mother’s Day Gift Guide, and check out other women’s recommendations too. Discover your mother’s new favorite makeup in this list.

I provides sunscreen, moisture and slip so perfect under foundation. Just a great all around product.” Vinxy

Promising review: “When I first opened this [and] while applying, I wasn’t sure [about the wand]. I am usually not a fan of these type of brushes. But oh my! I curled my lashes first and after two coats it looked like I am wearing false lashes! Now, my lashes are longer and decently full but this is by far my new favorite mascara! Love that it is water-resistant, normally I only wear waterproof as I am a contact lens wearer and I tend to have watery eyes at some point in the day.” Katpem
