so im 36, and i feel like i look 86 most days. between the 3 year old and the baby, sleep is a distant memory. i just need some quick makeup tricks that dont take forever in the morning. like, what foundation actually covers dark circles without looking cakey? and is there anything for a quick brow lift? im usually rushing out the door to daycare dropoff around 815 and then straight to work. i cant spend an hour on my face. i saw some stuff at target, but im overwhelmed. what actually works and is easy?

@sunnyleaf OMG I totally get it. I'm 38 with a toddler and a kindergartener. That under-eye concealer is a lifesaver. I just dab a little on and blend with my ring finger. So much easier than a full face.

Seriously @sunnyleaf, I'm 45 and my skin looks so dull. I’ve been using a cream blush instead of powder, and it gives me a little glow. It’s way faster than trying to blend powder.

Yep, @sunnyleaf, sleep is a myth. I'm 52 and found that just a swipe of mascara makes a huge difference. Opens up my eyes even when I feel dead inside.

@sunnyleaf, I'm 32 and the struggle is real. A tinted moisturizer is my best friend. It evens out my skin tone super quick and doesn't feel heavy. Way better than foundation when you're exhausted.

@sunnyleaf, I'm 42 and totally agree with the cream blush! I use a peachy one and it really wakes up my face. I usually just put it on with my fingers while I'm waiting for the coffee maker.

@sunnyleaf, oh girl, the mascara trick is SO good. I'm 55 and it’s like instant wake-up. I keep it in my purse so I can reapply if I have to run out to the store and I'm feeling super rough.

@sunnyleaf, tinted moisturizer is a game changer! I’m 34 and it’s so much faster than foundation. I just put it on with my hands after I brush my teeth.

@sunnyleaf, I’m 48 and that under-eye concealer is everything. It really covers up the evidence of those late nights. I usually just use my finger to dab it on while I’m checking my phone.

@sunnyleaf, yes to the mascara! @ladybug1971, totally feel you on the "dead inside" mornings. I'm 58 and that little bit of mascara is my secret weapon. I always keep one in my car too, for those last-minute errands.
