I found this totally fabulous makeup website called “Mommy Makeup.” I was able to exchange emails with the woman (err mom) behind the concept and company. She emailed me details about herself, which you can view in full on her website:

Debra Rubin-Roberts has over 15 years of experience as a professional makeup artist and has worked with some of the best in the cosmetic industry, including Bobbi Brown, Prescriptives , Laura Mercier, Nars, Smashbox, and Estee Lauder. Her work has been featured in various publications including The Daily News, Avenue Magazine, and Manhattan Bride Magazine. Her clients have included women (and a few men) of every ethnicity. Debra has worked on studio shoots, fashion shows (including “7th on 6th”), video and television. Her work has appeared on “60 Minutes” and “CBS Sunday Morning” . You may have seen her on E! Entertainment Network and “The Maury Povich Show”. In addition to being the founder of Mommy Makeup, Debra is still a working makeup artist as well, but her most favorite thing is being Jeremy’s wife and Daisy’s mom.

Here is what else she told me:

I am a professional, award-winning makeup artist, and a New York City
mom. About two weeks after my daughter was born I had my “lightbulb
moment”…. my daughter was napping, my mom came over to babysit so
that my husband and I could go out for dinner like adults. We had 90
minutes before the next nursing so I had to get ready quickly. I
started to put on my makeup the way I used to, before motherhood and
I realized that it just wasn’t going to happen… I either had to be
able to put makeup on in about 7 minutes or not at all… my daughter
is 3 years old now and I’ve spent a good 2 1/2 years developing Mommy
Makeup and I can honestly say that with it, I can do my makeup
everyday in 6-7 minutes.

I created Mommy Makeup to simplify the busy mom’s daily beauty
routine. Mommy Makeup is different than other makeup lines for 3
reasons:

1) Makeup kits that do your ENTIRE FACE in minutes from start to
finish. The Clean-n-Casual and Pretty-n-Polished kits contain 5 or 6
products that do your ENTIRE FACE! From your first touch of concealer
to the finishing touch of lipgloss, it’s all included. And each kit
contains “Paint by Number” Instructions and Face Chart to allow
mistake proof application! The application technique I developed and
using the products in the kits allow a women to apply her makeup in
5-7 minutes. There are other makeup kits out there, but they either
do just your eyes, just your lips, or just foundation and bronzer but
not the entire face and not in 6 minutes.

2) Multi-purpose products - All Mommy Makeup products are multi-
purpose so they save a mom time and money. You will be amazed how
much time you can save by NOT having to screw and unscrew caps of
various individual items! And all Mommy Makeup products are allergy
tested and hypo-allergenic.

3) PRESSED Mineral Powders - Mineral Powders are naturally oil-free,
talc-free, and fragrance-free making them ideal for sensitive skins
(and for women who find their skin going through hormonal changes).
They also give nice coverage but feel weightless on the skin.
However, most mineral powders on the market today are loose powders,
making them a MESS, especially with a baby or toddler around. That’s
why Mommy Makeup’s mineral powders are all pressed…. so you get the
benefits and coverage of mineral powders with on-the-go convenience
and NO MESS!

Sounds good to me! Go check out Mommy Makeup, even you are not a mom but need a super quick makeup routine in the morning!
