Mascara is a tried and true product that makes a big difference in your look. It takes 30 seconds at the most, opens the eyes, and makes you appear awake. Even on a naked lid, adding just mascara and liner makes you seem more polished.
To apply quickly and correctly, start at the base of your lashes and wiggle the brush from left to right, at least two to three times.
The biggest mistake tired moms in a rush make is using a mascara that smudges during application. Try different brands to find the right applicator brush that works with your eye size and shape. You want to be able to quickly apply your mascara in the morning without having to worry about cleaning up smears and chunks of mascara that smudged on your eyelid.
An oldie-but-goodie that seems to work for everyone is the Maybelline Great Lash Mascara With the Curved Brush by Maybelline ($5). This mascara wand is small and easy to manipulate for most women while offering beautiful volume and length.
