My Everyday Make Up Routine

by - September 26, 2018



Hello again, 3 weeks on the run I'm getting good at this right? Todays post is going to be my everyday make up routine, now I am someone who loves the extra 5 minutes in bed but also feel like need to be glam everyday. I work in retail and the store I work in is blooming boiling so I need make up that isn't going to run off my face. Anyway I will get started!


  1. Primer: I know some people skip the primer stage and I do sometimes, but recently I have had a lot of HUGE spots that were very hard to cover due to the broken, uneven skin so the Smashbox Photo Finish primer has been a godsend. 
  2. Foundation: If you have followed my blog for a while now then you will know that I LOVE the Maybelline 24hr Super Stay foundation I use the shade Ivory, however it does oxidise quite a bit so maybe go down a shade! The foundation is full coverage with a dewy finish and this lasts me all day long. I use a beauty blender (real techniques) to get an even coverage all over my face then I use a brush to buff in the excess product in.
  3. Contour/Bronzer- I use the Too Faced Sweetheart Bronzer for my contour, the colour is a very warm brown and really helps to give my face some shape! 
  4. Blush- I have to be in the mood for blush and recently I have been reaching for the Too Faced Sweetheart blush. 
  5. Loose Powder- I live for banana powders due to having very dark under eyes, so on a day to day basis I use the Elf yellow loose powder and this really helps to take away the harsh black under my eyes. I usually let it bake for 2/3 minutes then just brush it away with a fluffy brush.
  6.  Brows- Anastasia Brow Pomade (Taupe) 
  7. Mascara- Better than sex by Too Faced, honestly this mascara will change your life. 
  8. Lipsticks- I have been lovely liquid lipsticks recently and have been reaching for my NARS liquid lip in the colour Le Freak.
  9. Gloss-Some day I rather just wear a gloss and when I do i just wear the Too Faced Lip Injection! 
  10. Powder- Not in the picture above sorry, however when I use powder I use the Laura Geller powder foundation in the colour light! It is amazing and helps add coverage on top of your foundation. 
  11. Setting spray- I always switch up my setting sprays as I have some at home and some in the boyfs, usually its the Tarte Setting spray or the Gerrard Cosmetics in mango! 
There we have it my Daily make up routine, I hope you enjoyed reading this. Let me know in the comments below what you use everyday without fail! Thank you so much for reading! 

Love

Mel
