If I had known how significantly my skin would improve after just a brief period with this system, I would have invested in it long ago.

After a long day, the absolute last thing I feel like doing before hitting the sack is removing my makeup. I’m well aware that if I skip this step, my skin will feel awful, my eyelashes will become fragile, and I’ll wake up to a few blemishes. Yet, despite knowing the consequences, I often lack the energy to cleanse my skin properly after a tiring day, especially as a busy mom.
However, after hearing rave reviews from beauty editors and friends, I decided to give the Clarisonic Mia 2 a try when it was generously sent to me. The Mia 2 is an electronic cleansing device that employs pulsing vibrations and specialized brushes to tackle various skin issues, providing a deep clean that is six times more effective than using just your hands.
Following my first use of the Mia 2, my skin felt remarkably different—not just cleaner, but genuinely healthier. It maintained its moisture without any dry, post-wash feel. I thought to myself, “Is this how my skin is meant to feel?”
Cleaning my face transformed from a dreaded chore into a breeze almost overnight. Makeup removal became far less tedious. Had I known how much my skin would benefit from this system, I would have purchased one ages ago.
But Wait, There’s an Even Better Part!
I also had the chance to try a new brush designed for the Mia 2. As I mentioned, there are a variety of brushes available, and the latest addition is the Sonic Foundation Makeup Brush (available exclusively on Clarisonic’s website and at Ulta). While the Mia 2 revolutionizes your skincare routine, this makeup brush completely changes the game for makeup application.
My bathroom is stocked with makeup and tools. On days when I have time, I use brushes to apply my foundation, concealer, bronzer, blush, and highlighter. But most mornings, I’m lucky to squeeze in a bit of BB cream and concealer with just my fingers. Touching your face with your fingers is said to be beneficial, but that’s a common misconception.
The first time I used the Sonic Foundation Makeup Brush, I blended my foundation in mere seconds without any streaks or patches. When applying concealer, simply hovering the brush over the area while it spun blended everything seamlessly. You couldn’t even tell where I had applied the products.
You can even apply all your face makeup—foundation, blush, bronzer, and highlighter—simultaneously and achieve a flawless blend in under a minute. This brush saves me precious time in the morning, and as a mom with two little ones under five, I cherish every moment.
So, for quicker makeup application and removal, the Clarisonic Mia 2 paired with the Sonic Foundation Brush is a must-have. These two tools have officially earned their spot in my essential mom toolkit.
