My Everyday Makeup

SO, I have a confession to make. My beauty in all of my photos may not be ENTIRELY natural. Like many others, I have a makeup routine that I do everyday. Somedays it varies: I might do more/less makeup, change my eyeshadow or use bronzer instead of blush. Normally, though, it stays consistent.

Here's a shot of me in my normal makeup:

For my face...

1. I start with applying Revlon's Color Correcting Primer. It's eleven dollars and a total steal. It allows for my makeup to go on smoothly and evenly, and corrects any red spots on my face. The trick is to let it set for 2-3 minutes.
2. Next, I use Maybelline's BB Cream in Fair. I don't love it (I prefer Kiehl's as it offers more coverage, but the one I have is too dark for my skin!)
3. I cover any blemishes with MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC20. I swear by this stuff. It can cover ANYTHING!
4. I finish with Laura Mercier's Translucent Powder

For my cheeks...

1. I love the color of Bobbi Brown's Bronzer in Natural. It's the perfect color for fair skin, and the touch of pink is beautiful!

For my eyes...

1. The first option is MAC's Naked Lunch Eyeshadow. It's a light tan/peach color with a bit of a metallic-shimmer to it. It's perfect for a simple look. ***Note: I use my Revlon primer on my eyelids as well. It helps to make the eyeshadow last!
2. For mascara, I use Clinique's Lash Doubling Mascara. I'm not a mascara junkie, but my aunt gave this to me, and I love it!

That's it! It takes me about 10-15 minutes to apply, depending on if I had more or less to my makeup. This is really the basics of my makeup: sort of like creating my blank palette. For more formal events, adding a lip color or adding more intense eyeshadow colors can make the biggest difference.

Have a lovely day, beauties!
