Everyday Makeup Routine

Hello!

So this post is going to be about my everyday makeup routine. I don't wear makeup everyday as my school does not allow it but I wear it on the weekends when I go out.

Step 1 

So first I have to prep my skin for foundation as I have oily skin otherwise my makeup will literally slip off during the day.

I use MAC Prep + Prime Skin Base Visage as a primer which provides me with a silky and smooth base for my foundation. I apply this to my face with my clean hands.




Step 2.

Depending on how my skin is on a particular day I would either choose my MAC Studio Fix Fluid in the shade NC20 for more of a full coverage face or I would go for the not as full coverage option which is my Benefit Big Easy Bigger Than BB foundation in the shade 02 Light.

I use my xobeauty flat top Synthetic Face Brush to Buff all my foundation in. I absolutely love this brush as it blends my foundation in seamlessly.


Step 3.

I have really dark under eye circles ( mainly because I've been staying up too late whoops!) so I use one of my favourite under eye concealers which is the Maybelline instant age rewind concealer. I usually blend this in with the tip of my beauty blender which gives it the best result but if I am too lazy I would just use my ring finger instead.





Step 4.

To set the base I use my Sephora matte powder foundation in the shade 23 , clair light which I blend it with a Real Techniques powder brush.




Step 5.

To contour my face and to make it appear slimmer I use my Nars Bronzer in Laguna which I mainly focus it on my cheek bones which I apply it with my Real Techniques contour brush.




Step 6.

To bring some more colour back into my face I use my coralista to give myself a flushed appearance with the xobeauty angled blush brush.




Step 7.

To add a glow to my face I use my Benefit girl meets pearl which I absolutely love!
I dab a bit of this onto my finger and apply it to the tops of my cheek bone and cupids bow.



Step 8.

I apply my Urban Decay primer potion to my eyelid and then usually for eye shadow I choose one base shade and a inner corner shade which is from my MAC palette , I apply this with my MAC 239 and 217 brush.






Step 9. 

As my eyelashes are not curly I use my Shu Uemura eye lash curler to curl my lashes,
then I apply Maybelline the falsies flared mascara.



Step 10.

For my brows sometimes I would fill it in with this japanese eye brow powder/pencil and set it with a random clear mascara.




I know this is a lot of makeup for an everyday look but I only wear makeup on the weekends so I usually go all out.

I hope you enjoyed it!
