Postpartum changed me in the most beautiful ways, but it also made it easy to forget myself. Between sleepless nights and caring for everyone else, getting ready quickly became the last priority.

That’s where this 5-minute mom makeup routine comes in. It’s not about looking “done,” it’s about feeling like me again.

On the days I barely have time to think, this simple routine helps me feel refreshed and confident, without taking away from my time as a mom. A little concealer to brighten tired eyes, mascara to feel awake, a soft blush for color, and a lip that makes me feel put together. That’s it.

These small moments matter. Taking just five minutes for myself reminds me that I’m still here, still worthy of care, and still allowed to feel good in my own skin.

This routine has become part of my “Finding My Pink Again” postpartum series, a gentle reminder that rediscovering yourself doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, it starts with something as simple as getting ready in five minutes. If you’re looking for more on this series, you can find them HERE
