Becoming a mother means making many
sacrifices. First on the list is sleep. That’s a thing of the past. Certainly,
an uninterrupted six, seven, or eight hours of sleep, at any rate. Gone, gone,
gone. Next, money. Babies have a tendency to blow holes in your bank account,
and in your savings account, and in your super-secret savings in the jar on top
of the fridge. So, there you’ll be, a brand-new mother, a few months into the
job, broke, sleep deprived, and wearing baggy sweatpants that you didn’t even
know you owned. There’s nothing wrong with sweatpants. They’re comfortable. And
scragging your hair up in a messy knot. That’s fine, too. Practical. Sensible
walking shoes will help as well. Add an oversized comfortable hoodie for the
active lifestyle of dealing with babies and toddlers, annnnd you’ve
successfully cultivated the classic ‘mom look’.
Nobody is expecting new parents to walk the
red carpet. However, there are simple ways of adding hints of style to your
daily routine that can instantly rejuvenate your tired look.
Making
a spectacle
Eyeglasses offer the perfect way to add flare
and colour to your everyday appearance. EyeBuyDirect
offers a huge range of options, for example, including red glasses (not for the
faint of heart, but worth considering if you want that ‘pop’ of colour to suit
all hair colours and skin types). Eyeglasses can cover a multitude of sins.
From weary dry eyes to droopy sleepless bags under your eyes, glasses will instantly
add a layer of definition to your otherwise washed out features. Only require
reading glasses? No problem. Occasional glasses will help to spruce up your
look better than no glasses at all. This is a quick win you shouldn’t ignore.
Lighten
up
This tip works extremely well when used
alongside the glasses trick above. Select a nude eyeliner and apply a generous amount to
the lower lid (but stop a few millimetres before reaching the inside corner of
the eye). This tip will help to lighten up your eyes, while creating the
illusion that your sleepy tired eyes are wide open and much larger. Be sure to
blend your handiwork side and side and never downwards, avoiding a messy
situation with your lashes.
By following these tips, no matter your
clothing or your footwear or your hairstyle, you’ll look fresh and enigmatic,
like your ‘practical’ look is a choice and not a result of a tiresome lifestyle.
