Daily Makeup Routine...
I have found a lot of beauty products I love that are part of my routine and products I don't love so much. I thought I would share a daily makeup routine and what I have been wearing on repeat.
Get ready because this post is gonna be a mouth full since I wanted to break it down.
Primer / For the past few weeks I have been using the Too Faced Hangover Primer. I have tried many different primers and none of them seem to work. They either make my makeup separate on my face or not make my makeup stay on. This primer moisturizes, keeps my makeup on all day, and smells like a trip to Hawaii!
Foundation / I am not a big fan of foundations because they feel so heavy and 'cakey' on my face. I love CC creams because of all the effects they give. SPF, hydration, coverage, etc. My favorite CC cream is by Mary Kay. I wear the shade Very Light and use a damp Beauty Blender to blend it out. I have found a foundation I really like though by Too Faced. I am in the shade Porcelain. I either use my beauty blender or this foundation brush by Morphe.
Concealer / Since I have struggled with acne, I always searched for the best concealer. Now that my face is clear (plus monthly breakouts) I only use an under eye concealer. My favorites are UD Naked Skin concealer, Tarte Shape Tape concealer, and the Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer. The one I am using right now is Benefit Boing concealer in the shade 01.
Powder / When I first started wearing makeup, powder was my best friend. Powder is usually a bad idea under the eyes because of creasing. Now I use it to brighten my under eyes and set the T-zone. I use the highlighting shades in the Anatasia Contour Kit. I kinda just mix the whole top row. The Sand shade doesn't show up as much as you may think. It gives a nice subtle glow.
Bronzer-Contour / To contour, I like to use the bronzers in the Anatasia Contour Kit, as mentioned above. My favorite shade is the middle one because it goes best with my fair skin tone. I also like the Hoola bronzer by Benefit. I apply bronzer to my cheekbones, nose, and around my forehead.
Blush / I tend to change my blushes up everyday. It just depends on what I am wearing or where I am going. I always reach for the beautiful blushes in the Jaclyn Hill x Becca palette. I swirl my brush in different shades every day. Now that I realize that is sold out, I love the Nars blush in Deep Throat. All of the blushes blend beautifully.
Highlighter / Oh my, this is the rave right now! Who can have their highlight more "poppin"! Haha! Since I am fair, I stick to using the Becca Skin Perfector in Opal. It is perfect for fair skin girls, but they also have other beautiful shades if you have a darker skin tone.
Brows / This is also the rave, Lol! #eyebrowsonfleek I never fill in my brows because they are naturally thick and dark. I only use the Benefit Gimmie Brow to keep them in place all day. 😊
Eye shadow / This is where my routine changes up a bit. I have 3 eye shadow palettes that I use
and switch around. They are Naked 2 palette, Naked palette, and Morphe 35f palette. I mainly stick to the Urban Decay Naked palettes because they are easier to work with. You can really create any look with these palettes, whether you want to a smokey eye, a natural look, or something fancy. They are also great travel palettes! Shades I use most in Naked 1: Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Toasted, Hustle
Shades I use most in Naked 2: Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, YDK, Busted
Eyeliner / I do not wear eyeliner everyday. I only wear it to a special occasions like to dinners. I haven't really tried a variety of eyeliners, but out of the ones I have tried the Marc Jacobs gel eyeliner is my favorite. I also like the NYX eye pencil / liner. It gets the job done and it is a way better price than the Marc Jacobs one! :)
Mascara / I love applying mascara because it truly changes your look. My favorites are the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara and the Diorshow volume mascara. They look beautiful together. They each give the look of false lashes! People always ask if I'm wearing false lashes, and nope I do not! It's these mascaras! Right now I am using the Fat Lash mascara by Merle Norman and I really like it!
Lip liner / I am currently using a lip liner by MAC in the color Dervish. I like the color a lot but it just does not stay on. I really want to try the Stila lipliner. I swatched it in Ulta and it stayed on my hand all day! I even tried to wipe it off in the store!
Lipstick / This part of my routine also changes. I have so many lipsticks that I never know which one I am going to wear next. My current favorites are MAC lipstick in Hot Gossip, Lorac lipstick in Goddess and I mix it with Clinique Matte lipstick in Petal
