f you are a mum you are
probably a master of
many things but chances
are prioritising yourself
may not be one of them. 
We understand it is hard to
justify spending time to get
yourself ready when there are
a million things to be done in a
morning routine. However, we
also know that when a woman
feels she is looking her best
somehow everything else just
seems to be a little easier to cope
with. Yes, there is definitely
some sense in the saying “look
good, feel good”!
Now we are not saying you

with some mascara makes you
feel more confident, in control
and energised then why not

Just another reason why our
Busy Woman’s Makeover is such
a good skill to learn, it requires
minimum makeup products and
only has 10 steps to master! Plus
depending on the look you are
after these steps and products
may even be less.
Before we start…the most
important thing to remember
when applying makeup is
practise, practise, practise!!
Exercise:
ready for YOUR day ahead once you
have dropped the kids off…pure bliss!!
This blissful thought doesn’t have to
stay just a thought – it can be a reality
and we are going to show you how with
our “Busy Woman’s Makeover”!
Make up (when applied correctly)
should enhance your natural features
not hide or cover your natural beauty,
THE BUSY WOMAN’S
MAKEOVER
The makeover you are going
to learn today is designed to
have you out the door and
feeling gorgeous in less than 5
minutes. Now that may sound
unreasonable but it can be done!
What’s the catch? You
have to practice the steps and
challenge yourself to get faster
over time. To the right is a time
chart for you to complete over the next
15 days. Time yourself every 5 days and
see how fast you can get at applying
your makeup and also note how your
technique improved.
You will be amazed at how quick you
can get and just how worthwhile it is
when you get used to seeing yourself
looking so fresh and fabulous!
