The Effortless Beauty Products Every New Mum Needs!
Last Updated on February 18, 2025 by Amy
Congratulations, new mums! Amidst the whirlwind of parenthood, it’s easy to let self-care take a backseat. However, with the right beauty products, you can reclaim moments for yourself even in the busiest days. In this post, I’ll share three beauty essentials that have become my daily go-tos since my baby was born. They’re perfect for new mums—easy to use, effective, and guaranteed to help you feel refreshed, radiant, and ready to conquer whatever parenthood throws your way.
Why Beauty Matters for New Mums
Parenthood can be exhausting, and it’s normal to feel like there’s no time for self-care. But taking just a few minutes to use products that make you feel good can boost your confidence and energy. These quick, multitasking beauty products have made a world of difference for me!
The New Mum Beauty Products I can’t Live Without!
Oskia Nutri-Bronze: A Skincare-Makeup Hybrid for a Healthy Glow
If, like me, you feel your best with a bit of colour on your face, Oskia Nutri-Bronze is the product for you! This skincare/makeup hybrid combines Bakuchiol, Milk Peptides, Pro-Vitamin B5, Swiss Apple Stem Cells, Vitamin E, MSM, and Hyaluronic Acid to create an adaptive bronzing skin tint and anti-ageing serum all in one. It gives your skin a luminous, healthy holiday glow while also giving skincare benefits.
How I Use It:
I apply it all over my face and décolletage for a radiant finish. It also blends beautifully with other moisturisers, tints, or foundations if you’re looking for a more customised glow. Don’t be alarmed by its dark appearance—it evens out seamlessly with your skin tone. For me, this product has completely replaced foundation. Paired with a touch of concealer, blush, and mascara, it’s all I need.
Why I Love It:
- Instant glow with zero effort.
- Multitasking formula saves time.
- Long-lasting: my bottle is still going strong after three months of daily use!
Now I am not going to lie to you and pretend that it can completely erase the sleep deprived pallor of a new Mum’s face but I can tell you that I think I will be re-purchasing this for the rest of my life. Coming from someone who has bought hundreds of products since her teens on a never ending quest for the complexion Holy Grail, this is high praise indeed! While it’s a bit of an investment at £64, Oskia offers a subscription service with a 15% discount for automatic deliveries. For me, it’s worth every penny.
Beauty Pie Superluminous Undereye Corrector
Tired eyes are an inevitable part of new mum life, but Beauty Pie’s Superluminous Undereye Corrector is here to save the day. This affordable gem brightens dark circles and adds a refreshed look to even the most sleep-deprived faces. It’s available in three shades (light/medium, medium/deep, and deep), and I’ve been using light/medium.
How I Use It:
I dab it on with my fingers after applying eye cream, followed by the Beauty Pie Everyday Great Skin Concealer. This duo works wonders—for some, it might completely erase signs of fatigue. While I still contend with a little darkness, my under-eye area looks significantly brighter and more awake.
Why I Love It:
- Affordable: £12 for members (£25 for non-members).
- Lightweight formula blends beautifully without creasing.
- A reliable replacement for the discontinued Becca corrector.

Sunday Riley Auto Correct Brightening and Depuffing Eye Contour Cream
We’ve reached the grand finale of my quest for the perfect tired Mummy saviour – the Sunday Riley Auto Correct Eye Cream. Are you starting to sense a theme with my obsession at vanquishing dark circles yet? Now, this one’s a bit of a splurge at £60. Howeve it hydrates, depuffs, and brightens tired eyes in an instant with ingredients like caffeine and Brazilian ginseng root extract.
How I Use It:
A tiny amount goes a long way—half a pump is plenty for both eyes. I use it every morning, and it preps my under-eyes perfectly for makeup application with no creasing or pilling.
Why I Love It:
- Instantly reduces puffiness.
- Leaves the under-eye area looking hydrated and lifted.
- Luxurious texture feels like a treat.
