As soon as you become a mum I think not only does your heart grow bigger to envelop your children, but it may grow bigger for certain products in your beauty kit too.
In fact, things that never really mattered to your pre-baby face like that quick slick of mascara, that now adds an extra hours sleep, or a pop of bright lippie to shake you out of a bad night’s funk will post baby matter to you… A LOT. However, one of the beauty heroes that will undoubtedly shine brightly through your makeup bag every morning as you attempt to get ready, feed your baby, re-heat your coffee and mentally prep for your day’s meetings is: concealer. You see, post-baby life is much better with concealer. Also coffee…but mostly concealer. It truly is the best at hiding all your imperfections with ease. Like a tiny, magical eraser that is not only relatively easy to use but can also be popped on in under 30 seconds from the comfort of your car. Which we all know is important too.
