I love doing my make up but as I work 9-6 five days a week I soon found that I needed to
discover a lasting but quick and simple daily make up routine. I like to keep my day to day
make up routine simple and my face looking natural, so I keep the amount of products I
use to a minimum. I decided to show you my everyday make up routine, as I am quite
boring and stick to the same thing every day.
Face: After prepping my skin with a morning cleanse and moisturise routine I apply the Revlon Photoready
Skinlights Face Illuminator in Pink Light. I use this to brighten up my skin as it leaves a dewy finish.
Then I use my Real Techniques Expert Face brush to buff the Nars Tinted Moisturiser, in Finland,
into my skin. The Expert Face brush is a bit of a cult classic in the beauty world, and personally
I have never used anything that has left such an even finish with my foundation. As the weather is
getting warmer I recently switched from foundation to the Nars Tinted Moisturiser as it is lighter
and has a high SPF. I finish off my my face makeup by lightly dusting on the Illamasqua
Translucent Loose Powder using the Mac Duo Fibre Face Brush. Then, using the same
brush, I lightly sweep the Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Naked Rose over the apples of my
cheeks and up along my cheekbones.
Eyes: After finishing my face I then move on to my eyes and usually start with my brows. I use
the Illamasqua Eyebrow Cake in Thunder and the Benefit Hard Angle Brush to lightly fill in my
eyebrows and give them definition. I find a powder gives more of a natural finish than a pencil
when it comes to perfect brows. Then I apply a very light dusting of Mac Vanilla Pigment
(this is such a wonder product!) over the top of the eyelid using the Real Techniques Base
Shadow Brush . I don't like to wear eye shadow every day but I find that the vanilla pigment
opens up the eye and leaves it looking brighter, which I am all for. I finish off my eyes with a
few coats of Loreal Miss Manga Mascara in Black on both my top and bottom lashes.
Lips: On a day to day basis my make up look is very natural, and so I like to choose a lip
colour to reflect this. I usually opt for the Mac Matte Lipstick in Kinda Sexy as the shade
is a neutral pinky-rose and blends well with the rest of my daytime make up look. I love
the matte look of this lipstick but it can sometimes be a little drying so I finish the whole thing
off with a dab of the Lush Cosmetics Honey Trap lip balm as is is nourishing and hydrating.
What is your daily make up routine like? Do you use any of these products?
