The Blah-to-Glam Wavy Hair Makeover

Total Beauty reader Nisa goes from exhausted mom to bohemian chic -- see her dramatic hair and makeup transformation

5 of 7

The makeup Sarah Uslan gives Nisa a look she can pull off in five minutes or less -- a necessity for a busy mom. She starts by perfecting Nisa's skin tone with Bobbi Brown SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer, $40. Then she gets to work on covering Nisa's dark under eye circles by applying a concealer with pink tones (Paul & Joe Beaute Stick Concealer, $24.80) to combat the blue and purple hues under her eyes. Next, she layers a yellow tinted concealer over the pink to help better match Nisa's olive complexion. She finishes the eyes with a sweep of neutral-colored eyeshadow then smudges brown liner along her lash lines. A touch of cream blush blended onto the apples of her cheeks, a bit of lash curling and black mascara and Uslan is ready to move on to Nisa's brows and lips. She fills in Nisa's brows with a gel eyebrow pencil and completes the look by applying a chocolate-y brick-colored gloss to her lips (try New York Color Liquid Lip Shine in Cherrywood, $2).
