Beauty Tip, MOTY Style

Between chasing Sofia, walking the dog, preparing real food, teaching yoga and occasionally spending time with my man, I never have time to do full make up these days. But, I still want to look like a freaking model when I actually make the effort. Do you know what a model's secret is, mamas? Well, besides airbrushing. It's highlights and shadows! I don't usually have time to contour my damn face and do both highlights and shadows, so I just rock out with a really good highlighter.

Have I lost you? Don't get overwhelmed! I'm here to break it down into three simple steps:

1. Buy something called a luminizer or illuminator. Here are some of the best.

2. Squeeze a small amount on the top of your hand. Then, dab and blend with your finger. Still using your finger, gently apply to these areas on your face:
  • Underneath your eyebrows to make it look like you weren't up half the night with your kids and also to fake a sexy arched brow.
  • Along your cheekbones to make your cheekbones pop and look more chiseled.
  • Down the center of your nose to give the illusion of a straighter nose. And it's symmetry that makes a model's face look stinkin' pretty, by the way!
  • Right above the upper lip to get fuller-looking Angelina Jolie-esque lips.
  • Underneath your chin to accentuate your natural face shape. Because YOU are beautiful, mamas. You really are.

3. Then, just blend it all evenly into your skin.

Oftentimes, all I wear is highlighter, mascara, and lipstick. And, it always makes me feel super put-together and fancy.

Highlighter makes you glow. What woman doesn't want to glow? So, get on it! Don't worry about applying it perfectly. Just blend, blend, blend!
Disclaimer: If this beauty tip doesn't work for you, too bad! A true MOTY hardly has time to perfect her own look, let alone care about yours.
