My Everyday Makeup!

So it's very gloomy and humid today, so there's really nothing to do, and quit frankly, nothing that I want to do.  So, I thought that I would share my everyday make-up routine with you!

 So firstly, I start with my face. For foundation, I use makeup forever HD foundation. This foundation is FANTASTIC for special events because it's HD. There is no SPF, so it photographs beautifully, and, there is no white cast in the photos. However, if you are using this as an every day foundation, then I would absolutely suggest wearing a sun block under it (to be honest, sometimes I don't wear the foundation at all and just wear sun screen). The I put the Maybelline Dream Lume Touche concealer under my eyes. This is a very inexpensive dupe for the YSL Touche Eclat concealer. Then i cover my blemished with the Maybelline FIT ME concealer. To finish it all off, I power my nose, under-eyes, and forehead with Rimmel London Stay Matte Power. This stuff is awesome! I have combination skin so my t-zone tends to get oily, but if I apply this, I don't have to re-apply. This would be great for someone with oily skin, but I do not recommend it if you're skin tends to be on the dryer side.

 Then I move onto eyes and brows. I do my brows using Anastasia Beverly Hill Brow Power Duo. I just use a brow brush to apply this, and to set it I use the Great Lash Clear mascara. Then the eye lid. I usually like to stick with one color for the summer. I feel like it looks more natural and not as heavy, especially in the hot summer months. So, first I prime my eyes with Urban Decay Primer Potion. This is optional, but if I don't then my eye make-up creases and it looks very gunk-y. Then I take MAC Woodwinked (shown in the palette- the color with the hole in the middle- and swatched on my hand) and put it all over my eyelid. Taking the same color, I work it into my crease. The great thing about this color is that, I find, the more you play with it and work it it, it changed color a little bit, so, you get 2 or 3 colors in one product! AWESOME!!For the last two steps, I line my upper lash line with Revlon Color Stay, and but Benefit's They're Real! mascara on my upper lashes. Sometimes I put it on my lower lashes, sometimes I don't. It really depends on the day. And, TADA! That's it for the eyes!

 For lips, my usual choices are MAC Speed Dial if I want want to go a little more natural (top color on my hand) or Maybelline Color Whisper in Faint for Fuscia (the bottom color on my hand) if I want to go more bold. If Speed Dial is still a little too much, then another great color that is more natural is MAC Creamcup.

 Finally, I spritz a little but of this Nollie perfume. I'm not sure that the name of it is, but they have a punch of different colors in the same package, but my favorite is this green one, and you can get this from PacSun. The PacSun website describes this as "Nollie combines the scents of sweet fruit & light floral undertones with hints of pink rose petals& white jasmine. (www.pacsun.com)"

And that is it! My daily makeup routine! On average it usually takes me about 10 minutes to do!

Until next time!
