Mums often come to me for advice on how to create a good look with their make up in minimal time. Here are my top personal favourite products to help busy mums look & feel good in their make up...

Hi I'm Nicola, a proud mum of two beautiful little girls aged two and four years

old. Everything I do is for my children, including my business decisions. My passion for make up led me to my current position as a part time make up artist. This works perfectly with my family life, I have created a balance of enjoying being a mum and being Nicola ( not mummy) for three days a week! I work hard to be an amazing mum for my children and I work even hard to make sure I'm the role model I want my children gather inspiration from. The most amazing feeling I get from being a MUA is making my clients feel good about themselves, they are noticeably more confident. Make up to me is all about enhancing your natural beauty, being creative and having fun. I do love my job!

Here are my top products that I currently love using ...

This is a part of my quick skin prep, after cleansing I use Pixi Glow Tonic. This gently exfoliates your skin and tones leaving it looking super fresh, ready for your make up. After I apply a small amount of moisturizer to hydrate.

This is my favourite brow pencil ever! The NYX Micro Bro pencil has a massive amount of eight different shades and they are all amazing at a bargain price of £8! If you haven't already got one of these in your make up tool kit, go get one!

Everyone needs to try this concelor, it's amazing! It allows you to have that perfect amount of coverage with a fresh finish. Some concelors can emphasise lines and wrinkles but because of its light reflection this isn't the case with this concelor. I find it perfect for under the eyes to disguise those sleepless nights all of us mums have!

I LOVE this foundation! It really does what it says on the bottle, stays on all day! Perfect for us busy mums! It is a medium colour but it's buildable if you want a bit more coverage. The texture is soft and creamy and doesn't dry flat on tour skin, it stays looking fresh all day. I use shade golden beige or rich tan if I'm more tanned. I apply with a soft fluffy foundation brush for quickness or a beauty blender if my little ones are asleep and I have an extra five minutes!

Ok, so being a busy mum I really haven't

got the time to be correcting my mascara from all over my face after using a big mascara brush, this product is my favourite for this reason! The brush size the perfect size to coat top and bottom without mess! It's ultra black, so no need for five layers, oh and to top it all off its water proof ready for those emotional mummy moments!
