Quote from sunnyleaf on March 25, 2020, 11:14 pmso 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?

Quote from Jennifer1997 on March 28, 2020, 8:07 am@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.

Quote from Luckycharm54 on April 1, 2020, 8:29 pm@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.

Quote from twinklerush on April 3, 2020, 10:06 pm@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.

Quote from Songcount on April 5, 2020, 4:50 pm@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.
