Hello !
I was wandering for a quite a while what kind of post should I insert next and I decided to make "My everyday makeup routine" Obviousely I'm not a makeup artist however I love doing my makeup and testing new products. I really enjoy a lot of the makeup pieces that I'm using right now so I thought I would share that with you :)
FACE
So the first thing that I am doing before putting any makeup on is moisturizing my face and to do that I used my favourite moisturizer ever Clinique dramatically different moisturizing cream. I've wrote about this cream in my January Favourites post. I absolutly adore it, it absorbs very quickly and leaves my skin fresh and incredibly moisturized. Next I apply foundation or BB cream. For todays look I used BB cream from Garnier because I was having good skin day and thought I can use somethig lighter ( when I'm feeleng that my skin needs a little more coverege I usually use Revlon Colorstay foundation ). For blending that out I used Real Techniques buffing brush. Then on my blemishes, under eyes, and the top of my nose I apply some Loreal True Match concealer in number 2 "Vanilla" by a wet beauty blender using quick, stipping motions. Wetting your beauty blender makes your foundation or colcealer look flawles, it absorbes the water so the product that you're going to use sits on the top of the sponge, that way it doesn't absorbe all way into the middle of it. Before powdering my skin I like to do contour first, mainly because when you are doing contouring on powdered skin it doesn't blend so well and I didn't want any harsh lines. I contoured under my cheekbones, on my temple, and jawline. To do that I used Maybelline Master Sculpt Contour Palette in number 02 "Medium Dark" with Hakuro H21 brush, then I powdered my face, especially the T-zone with Collection Lasting Perfection powder by using Inglot 15BJF brush. I usually use Loreal True Match powder but mine unfortunlly got shattered and all that has left are just tiny, little pieces. To make my face makeup complete I highlighted my T-zone, above cheekbones, and a little above mouth - that makes your lips look a bit bigger.
Face done, so lets jump into eyes and brows.
EYES / BROWS
First thing I do before putting anything on my eyes is powdering my lashes, just a bit, so my lashes will look fuller after applying mascara. Then I take my Loreal concealer again and use it as a base to eyeshadows. This will make them stay longer and look more pigmented. The eyeshadow that I used were Collection Little Mix Love - All About The Eyes Palette. I chosed two colours, "Dazzling Brown" on the top of my eyelid and "Cocoa Dream" in the creases. For putting and blending the eyeshadows I used Hakuro H79 brush.
Next I made a line with Bourjois Mega Liner Ultra Black. I really like this eyeliner, it stays on for all day, it doesn't fade, and dries in a second. Easy to use and also very pigmented. Love it.
Then on my lashes I used Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, but first I curled them with eyelash curler from Avon. I'm absolutly obsessed with this mascara, I wrote about it in my January Favourites post.
Eyebrows was my struggle since I remember, I always did them wrong. I filled them with eyeshadows, sometimes it looked okey sometimes not, but a year ago I found my brow saver. The Soap & Glory Archery Brow Tint & Precision Shaping Pencil in colour Brownie Points. It has two ends. One for shaping, one for filling. Easy to use, so if you have problem with your eyebrows go and check it out.
LIPS
My favourite part of makeup - LIPS ! I relly like making my lips, testing different shades of lipsticks. This part makes our look complete and defined. So, the lipstick that I used today was Mac in the shade "Velvet Teddy". I love this lipstick so much, it has this gorgeous nude colour. Like all Mac lipsticks it stays on long hours, it has lovely consistency, makes lips soft and flawles. But before that to make my lips a little more bigger, I contoured my lips with Mac Lip Pencil in the shade "Spiece".
That is everything for today. Hope you liked it guys.
