Keeping Your Hair and Makeup Sanity: The Mom Edition

All Day Makeup in 10 Minutes

As a mom of two little ones, I feel like I’m always on the move from car to house to kitchen to living room to car… Sitting down sounds like an absolute luxury at this point. I do get to have fun, though, when it comes to dressing in my favorite designers and shooting photos for my site. I know I’m not the only mom who feels this way, so I thought you might like to hear from my hair and makeup team. After all, who knows more about styling someone who’s jumping up every 5 minutes than they do? So, from the lovely ladies of Fedeinsieme, here are some tips on keeping my hair and makeup looking fresh on days when I barely sit still.

YOUR ALL DAY MAKEUP IN 10 MINUTES

FROM JACLYN ACCETTA

If you are a busy woman who is looking for a quick makeup routine for every day, here are a few products and tips to help you get out of the house looking awake!

ONE. MOISTURIZE

That goes for face and eyes. I usually recommend doing this right before you brush your teeth in the morning. This way, the product has a few minutes to settle into your skin.

TWO. BROWS BROWS BROWS

Shaping and lightly filling in your eyes can change your whole look within seconds. You can use a pencil or just an eyeshadow with an eyebrow brush. Start at your arch and fill to the end of the brow, then using light strokes work your way to the inner brow towards your nose.

THREE. MASCARA

everyone has their personal favorite, so choose what formula works best for you and simply apply to the lashes on the outer corner of your eyes to give a little volume and length.

FOUR. FOUNDATION + CONCEALER

Take your time to shop around and choose the best foundation for your skin. Depending on the formula, you can apply with your fingers, beauty blender, or brush.

FIVE. HIGHLIGHT, BRONZE + GLOW

Look for a palette that has a shadow, bronzer, blush, and highlight. Tarte has many palettes for this, like their Clay Play Eye and Cheek Palette Vol. II.

SIX. LIPS

Urban Decay’s Vice Lip Chemistry is incredible! It gives your lips color, hydration, and lasts for up to 5 hours.

SEVEN. SETTING SPRAY

The last step is setting your look with a setting spray.

FAST + EASY HAIR TIPS

FROM TRACY AHERN

ONE. CLEANSE + CONDITION

The first thing is to make sure you are using the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair. Most people don’t realize, but shampoo weighs your hair down. Depending on your hair type, you need to be sure to use professional brands for the best results. I personally have thin hair, so I find L’Oréal Professional Series Expert B6 + Biotin Inforcer works best for me.

TWO. STYLE

Rock a Pony Like a Pro

If you’re in a rush, you can always throw it in a ponytail, but not too tight. Use the same steps above, blow dry just the front of your hair around your face, and put the rest up. Be sure to tie it with a great scrunchy; they’re back in. Promise.

Pro-Tip: Try Not to Wash Your Hair Every Day

Got a little extra time? Get luminous skin without looking greasy!

ONE. PREP

Skin prep is the first step to all makeup applications. Using a hydrating moisturizer daily, like Clinique Moisture Surge, is a good start. If you are very dry regularly, an oil primer (try Smashbox Oil Primer) will do wonders and also cut the time down in your skin prep/makeup process. If you are generally oily, a light yet hydrating primer, like Lancome Prep and Hydrate, will give you the dewy, luminous skin look without making you feel as if you want to take a tissue you to your face mid-day.

TWO. FOUNDATION

Go for a foundation that is medium coverage. Use a wet beauty blender when applying to achieve that dewy look.

Combination to Oily Skin: try Anastasia Beverly Hills Luminous Foundation.
Dry Skin: try Nars Radiant Longwear Foundation. It is a long-lasting foundation that still has a weightless feel about it.
If you prefer a medium to full coverage, try Tarte Shape Tape Foundation. When following the previous prep steps, it still gives the luminous appearance, while maintaining its coverage.
For those who are more of a tinted moisturizer lover, but feel they are reapplying more than they wish…Bareminerals Complexion Rescue or Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer will most likely become your new favorites.

THREE. CONCEALER

Concealer is a must for this luminous makeup look. Start with an eye cream, then apply your concealer. My personal favorite is Tarte Shape Tape. It works for all skin types, corrects and conceals while still lasting all day.

FOUR. HIGHLIGHT +CONTOUR

Tarteist PRO Glow to Go Highlight & Contour Palette will finish off this luminous look. First, apply with a small fluffy brush the highlighter right above your cheekbone, then apply the contour using another small brush just below your cheekbone, starting from your hairline downwards following the cheekbone.

Even on the move, you can look amazing every day with just a few minutes and a good plan.

The Chic List: The Spa at the Four Seasons at the Surf Club

There is nothing better than treating yourself to a visit to the spa. Whether you’re with your girlfriends, your mother or gloriously by yourself, it’s a time to take a deep breath, unwind and soak in some pampering. Going to the spa is almost always an experience that is, in some way, “just what you are looking for” – the spa may not have the serene environment you crave, or the top product lines, or the best service, but you likely always walk away with at least one “check” off that list and, more importantly, feeling relaxed and clear-headed.

So, rewind to this weekend when I was on a girls’ trip with some of my best high school girlfriends. We had an amazing few days together – some shopping, delicious food, and lots of laughs – but what stood out most was our time at the Spa at the Four Seasons Hotel at the Surf Club in Surfside, Florida. We were together, which is what mattered most and for three moms of two and three children respectively, just having some uninterrupted time to talk and relax made the visit amazing. But, it is not often that I walk out of a Spa “experience” thinking “this is the most amazing Spa I have ever been too.” And this time, I did.

The Spa at the Four Seasons at the Surf Club sits on the second floor of the pristine hotel, just high enough to get a glimpse of the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. Walking up the steps to the reception area, the front desk attendants warmly greeted us for our services. They knew who we were without us telling them our names because the Spa is quite exclusive and intimate (an immediate plus). The bespoke product lines were displayed, which immediately had me sold. I have always been a huge fan of Susanne Kaufman, an amazing organic skincare line, but they carried Biologique Rechereche, which is a luxury line not often found in Spas.

As we journeyed back to the changing room, the vibe was just what one would want from a Spa – clean, fresh, simple, peaceful. The décor is beautiful and specific, but not overdone. A sauna and steam room were available for use. Cool towels set over ornate bowls of ice, with beautiful orchid blooms surrounding them were available for guests to decompress, a finishing touch I found thoughtful.

After changing, we were brought back to the waiting lounge. Cushioned chaise lounges were available and spaced apart with delicate dividers, to ensure peace and privacy. These were available to guests to relax before and after treatments, with assorted teas, frozen grapes and more offered if you were needing a pick-me-up.

Once back to the treatment room, I had a brief conversation with my Esthetician, then got comfortable. I chose to have one of Biologique’s Signature Facials, as I was somewhat familiar with the line and heard amazing things about their products. My specific Esthetician had worked with the skincare line for over 20 years, which does not happen often, particularly in hotel spas. She was very talented, and also very informative (which was incredible because I asked a lot of questions!).

As we left the Spa, I purchased a few of the products that I had been looking to incorporate into my skincare routine. My Esthetician was honest about what I needed and at no point did I feel like I was being “sold,” which can be super irritating to me. It was one of those experiences that I kind of wanted to give her a hug, she was so amazing. But, I refrained – lol – and decided the best thing to do, being local, was to book another appointment with her in 6 weeks.

Miami may be in your back yard, or it may be a destination you have been eyeing for your next girls’ trip, romantic getaway or solo escape. Whichever it may be, if you are looking for a place to indulge and unwind, book your treatment here. I promise you will leave feeling refreshed, with great skin and positive energy …

And bonus, the hotel has one of the prettier Champagne bars I have ever seen, which every girl should have during a day of pampering! xx
