5-Minute Beauty Routine for the Perpetually Late Mom

Because who has time for a full glam squad when you’ve got lunchboxes to pack?

1. The Night-Before Power Move: Heatless Curlers

Time: 1 minute (before bed)

Pop in some velcro rollers, flexi rods, or your fave TikTok-worthy heatless curlers the night before. In the morning, just take them out and shake. Boom—effortless waves and zero heat damage.

💡Pro Tip: Use a light leave-in conditioner or curl mousse before rolling for extra hold

2. Tinted Moisturizer with SPF

Time: 1 minute

Skip the foundation. Use a tinted moisturizer or BB cream with SPF to even out your skin and protect it while you mom around.

• Look for products that hydrate + correct.

3. Concealer & Brows = Game Changers

Time: 1 minute

Dot a concealer under the eyes, around the nose, or anywhere you need a pick-me-up.

Swipe a tinted brow gel through your brows for an instant lifted look.

4. Cream Blush That Does Double Duty

Time: 30 seconds

Cream blush is your secret weapon. Dab it on your cheeks and lips. It gives you that “I actually slept” glow.

5. Mascara or Lash Curler (Pick One!)

Time: 3

No time? Just curl your lashes. Got a sec more? Add mascara for bright, wide-awake eyes.

*Bonus: Dry Shampoo = Mom Crown PolisH

Time: 30 seconds

Spritz and fluff. It buys you another day (or two) of not washing your hair and adds some volume to boot!y
