Make up or a miracle post baby?!

I’m due my first baby in a couple of weeks and hoping to find a miracle product that I can use to make me look half human if/when I can’t do a full face of make up.

Something that will smooth and even my skin tone out so I don’t need to bother with foundation etc. Is Clarins Beauty Flash Balm any good? Or any other recommendations? Do I need a BB/CC cream?

No idea.

Varies on skin type.

I find clarins products diabolical and not worth the money but may suit you.

Trial and error really.

Perhaps a tinted moisturiser?
Having said that,with a new baby just getting dressed is a miracle let alone face creams!

Everyone will be looking at baby not you...

I'm 7 weeks post baby, so I know what you mean. I'm using L'Oréal magic nude BB cream, it makes me look alive and ticks plenty of boxes. I also have Clarinda tinted moisturizer which is nice light coverage and makes me look glowy rather than knackered.

Tinted moisturiser or B.B. cream.

I love the Clarins flash balm. Worked wonders when ds was tiny and 3 years later whilst I’m still knackered

I found Clarins flash balm makes me waxy rather than glowy but I'm very fond of Bourjois CC cream to slap on and improve my face.
