Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I am going in depth with my everyday makeup routine! I have always loved makeup so much and how it can completely transform your look. I also love playing with different eyeshadow and lip products to get a new look everyday! Recently, I have been keeping it simple and using the same products every time I wear makeup (which lately hasn't been too often). I will be going in the order of how I use my products so lets get started!
The first thing I apply is my concealer. I have been using the Tarte Shape Tape for as long as I can remember and it is my holy grail! It covers every dark circle and imperfection perfectly and dries down matte. I use the shade Light Sand and apply is under my eyes and on any breakouts I may have. I always blend it in with a stippling brush since it blends easier for me than it does with a makeup sponge. I make sure to always stock up on them when they go on sale, and Ulta has them for 50% off THIS SATURDAY!
I then go in with my powder, and lately I have been using the Coty Airspun powder. This powder has the scent of an old lady, but works so well. I started using this after my regular powder ran out, and it has lasted me forever. I apply it with a makeup sponge under my eyes, on the hollows of my cheeks, my forehead, my chin, and my neck and blend it in with a big fluffy brush. You can get this powder at Target or Walmart for like $6 or $7! I use the shade translucent.
The next product I use is my bronzer! I definitely like to have some shape and definition to my face since I have a rounder face. I try and focus my bronzer on the sides of my nose, the hollows of my cheeks, my temples, my chin, and some down my neck. I then take whatever is left and brush it over the rest of my face. I always use the shade "bronzer" since I am not super fair! I have been using Physician's Formula Butter Bronzer for almost 2 years and it has been my ride or die. I keep backups incase I run out! You can get this from Walmart, Target, or Ulta for around $15 but it is so worth it!
The next product I use is my blush! Blush has been a new product I have been using since I used to hate how it looked on me. I love the look of a peachy blush on my skin tone so I use the CoverFX Monochromatic Blush Duo in Soft Peach. I use the matte powder first and then top it with the shimmery side. I apply it to the apples of my cheeks and the tip of my nose to give a "sun kissed" look. I got mine from Ulta when they were having them half off and they are having them half off again on September 10th! Make sure to grab one if you're eyeing them, they will sell out!
I then go in with my highlighter. I used to love a good blinding highlight, but recently I have been loving the subtle shimmer on the highs of the cheeks and down the bridge of the nose. I have been using the Benefit Cookie highlight for about a year now, and I love it so much! It is a perfect blinding highlight so I use a big fluffy brush to blend it out after I apply it! This is a beautiful cool toned champagne that looks great on everyone! I got mine from Ulta for $30
After I apply my highlight, I then do my eyeshadow. This is not an every day thing but I will go ahead and touch on it! I have so many eyeshadow palettes it's embarrassing, but eyeshadow is one of my favorite products since you can be so creative with it. Two of my go to palettes are by Tarte! They are the Tartelette In Bloom and the Tartelette Toasted. The In Bloom palette is more cool toned neutrals and a really great winter and spring paltette. The Toasted palette is a great palette for the summer and fall since it is more "orangy" browns. I love both and use both interchangeably. You can get these palettes from Tarte.com , Ulta or Sephora for $39!
After I do my eyeshadow, I then move on to my brows. I have naturally bushy eyebrows so I use a pencil to fill in the sparse areas. I have tried so many brow pencils and everytime I go back to the Colourpop Brow Boss Pencil. I use the shade taupe and it is perfect for my brows! I always make sure to keep a backup incase I run out. I buy mine from Ulta for $6. They are slim and great to create brow like hairs.
To lock my eyebrows in, I always make sure to use clear brow gel. I switch between the Elf clear brow mascara and the Colourpop clear brow gel since they are both amazing. The elf one is $2 and the Colourpop one is $5 or $6.
Lastly, I curl my eyelashes and apply my mascara. This mascara is my holy grail! I have tried so many different mascaras in the past, and this one has been my absolute favorite. I use the Benefit Bad Gal Bang. It has a very slim silicone wand which makes sure to get every lash. It does not flake and stays all day long. You can get them at Ulta for $25 but HSN and QVC often run deals where you can get two for the price of one or three for the price of two! I always try and stock up since it is just SO GOOD!
Lastly I apply my lip product. Recently, I have been loving my Buxom lip gloss in the color Hot Toddy! These lipglosses have a plumping effect so it makes your lips tingly slightly after putting it on. I love the shine and the look of glossy lips right now, and these are my go tos! I apply a lip product every single day, but when I do, I tend to reach for these.
I hope you enjoyed getting a look into my everyday makeup routine! If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to reach out! Also, don't forget to subscribe so you can be notified every time I post!
