I just put my son in his bumbo seat on the counter and let him play with toys and he likes to watch me too lol

It's imperative I do my hair and makeup. It really helps me get motivated to take on the day and get out of the house w M.

I get it done during her morning nap, after I've fed her. I usually get about 45 minutes. If she wakes earlier or won't nap, I either wear her in a carrier or have her nearby so she can see me.

Go for a more simple look so you can get it done with little time or concentration.
I just throw my hair in a pony tail and clip it up, and stick with foundation, eye shadow, mascara, and a light blush for an every day look.
If you're planning on going on a date or somewhere fancier, have the babysitter come a little early so you can take some time to get ready. Or let your SO drop them off and use the time he's gone.
You can also start early, do your daughters makeup first so she's happy, then tell her it's your turn. Make it a compromise so you both have fun with it 😄

@m.mandy05 ohhh I got you. I have two boys and one girl who is 8 and does her own thing so I'm pretty lucky when it comes to doing my makeup. Part of that is I've established with the two oldest that if they need somthing go to dad and I've established with my hubbs that if I'm having me time (bath or makeup or whatever) the kids are his responsibility for the time being. I guess it helps that the two oldest aren't my kids so they naturally go to dad for everything when they need it.

My youngest is 3 so I have to worry more about her wanting her makeup done too or just plain getting into my stuff and making a mess. Makes me crazy! lol

@kiwimcdaniels rofl 😂 you need a strong lock and a steady hand. My kids start banging on the door and I inevitably mess something up. lol

Either when my son naps or I put him in the baby carrier and hold him close start my make up which usually puts him to sleep so it makes it easier but it is hard you just have to find your rhythm

When my baby is sleeping or playing where I can watch him..

Or one of my other. Favorite times is when baby naps

Ditch the kids with Dad and lock yourself up tightly in the bathroom hahaha. At least that's how I do it. Or I keep a hand held mirror and my makeup in a basket thingy and sit at the table while baby plays. I've always been able to get my makeup done one way or another. Took allot of trial and error but I think I finally got it figured out. Gets easier when the baby doesn't need you as often as say when they're first born.
