MY UPDATED EVERYDAY MAKEUP ROUTINE

February 26, 2019

Hey babes! I’m FINALLY sharing my updated everyday makeup routine with you all. This is my go to look on the daily and what I have been doing for a couple years now. When I think of everyday makeup, I think of something that makes me look put together and does not take a lot time! Especially, now as a mom who is always on the go.


To be honest with you guys, given my everyday routine I always do my makeup in the car lol. So I kept that in mind when it came to this routine. Simple and easy is best in my book! George and I are always on the go, so I don’t always have time to sit and take my time putting makeup on. If you are on the same boat as me, girlfriend I got you covered! These are my suggestions for you and what I believe can make you look bright, refreshed and beautiful!


1. CONCEALER

My favorite drugstore concealer is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind in the color light pale. This concealer provides perfect coverage and the applicator is perfect when you are on the go. I simply use my ring finger to blend it onto my skin. This color is lighter than my skin tone, but that will allow my under eyes to look bright, refreshed and awake! Concealer is a must ALWAYS!



2. POWDER


This Cover FX Pressed Mineral Foundation is AMAZING! I use the shade G50, which is Golden and ideal for yellow or olive skin tones with a warmer hue to the skin. This provides sheer to full build-able coverage and makes my skin look flawless. I love that it is talc free and oil-absorbing too! I have combination skin and it works perfect.


3. BRONZER


Benefit products are so convenient and cute as well lol! The Hoola Bronzer comes in the perfect size for my makeup bag. That is a huge plus when you need to grab and go! The coolest part is that it comes with a brush already, so cool right? This shade is universal, meaning that it will look great on any skin tone. The brush is also a great shape to help you do a quick contour. P.S they also have a smaller size than the one I have!

 

4. BLUSH

Another Benefit product LOL! I can’t help it guys, I love that each of these products comes with their own brush. That alone won me over. This eliminates me from having to carry a million brushes around! They have various blush shades, but the Rockateur Rose gold Powder Blush is my ALL time favorite. It has a bit of shimmer and it makes me look glowy and again is a universal shade. 


5. BROWS

Okay, this Almay brow pencil is literally the perfect dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pencil. I love that it basically has the same applicator and is also more affordable. I use the color brunette and it works great for me. I fist outline the ends and fill them in. I use a lighter hand on the inner corners and blend them out using the brush at the other end. It’s important to always blend and use a light hand to achieve that natural brow look. I do not take a long time on my brows, I naturally have dark brows so I use this to fill in the ends.

 

6. MASCARA

MY FAVORITE PART!! Mascara is truly a must in any look. This will help to brighten and open your eyes! This is an instant eye lift and completes the look. In the pictures you can compare my eyelashes, before and after applying mascara. See how different I look? Amazing! My lashes are naturally long, but they tend to go down and curl. That is why I ALWAYS use a primer before my mascara. This makes such a big difference and preps my lashes. The primer I use is the L’Oréal Voluminous primer. It applies white, but of course changes once you add mascara. This helps to brush and smooth my lashes out. It definitely adds length and volume as well which is always a plus. My mascara is the L’Oréal Voluminous in Blackest Black. These two together, add volume and length! I am so obsessed. I apply to my top and bottom lashes. I apply a lot, lol I like to make sure they look full and long. Out of my whole routine, my lashes is what takes me the longest..that’s just because I am picky lol.

 



7. LIPSTICK

My go to lately is the Jordana Lip liner in Tawny, I love it because it is the same color of my natural lips. So it makes my natural lips look more plump and bigger in a subtle way. (it's also super cheap, so that's a plus!) My favorite NYX color is called "Cannes". This is a lip cream and applies smoothly and goes great with any outfit or look. This would look so pretty on any skin tone.
