The beginning - Everyday Makeup Routine

Hey everyone,

Welcome to my new blog! I have decided to create a blog where I can share my interests and aspects of my life with the blogging community. I aim to write about beauty, DIYs, cooking and lifestyle events.

A few things you should know I am 21 and from Melbourne, Australia. My skin is fairly normal with the exception of hormonal breakouts.

As this is the first post I thought I would start of with something simple like my everyday make up routine.

 

I like to keep my make up to a minimum on the day to day basis. In order to do so I begin with the hourglass mineral veil primer.  This is perfect as it has a purple tone to it in which cancels out redness. It also makes my skin so smooth and keeps my make up lasting all day. 

Next up is concealer and my favourite one is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer in the shade 'fair clair'. It is perfect for covering up dark circles and making the under eye area appear much brighter. I then apply some of this to the top of my nose, the centre of my forehead and my chin. Once blended i move on to powder.

I first set my concealer with the Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder. It is finely blended and does not add any extra coverage so therefore it does not look cakey.

I then use the Tarte Amazonian Clay Full coverage Foundation on the rest of my face. This is a powder foundation however it applies smoothy and does not have a powdery finish. It looks more like an airbrushed finish and is fast & easy to apply so is perfect for everyday.

I then move on to blush and bronzer. My favourites of the moment are  Nars Laguna Bronzer and Mac Springsheen Blush. The Nars bronzer is the perfect shade, not to muddy or to orange, it gives you the perfect bronze glow. The mac blush is a rosey pink with a slight gold shimmer. It is not intense and I have found it goes with almost every make up look. 

 On the everyday I do not tend to use eyeshadow, instead I use the Nars bronzer and apply that with a soft blender brush in the crease to create some dimension without being anything to intense.

I then fill in my eyebrows using the Anastasia brow wiz in the shade soft brown. This has to be the easy brow product. It applies so easily and fills in all the gaps so quickly. I have brown hair with some lighter highlights and this colour matches perfectly. I then set it all with the essence brow gel.

 Next up is mascara and my favourite of the moment is the tarte lights camera flashes mascara. It creates lots of volume and length without looking clumpy. It lasts all day and does not flake off however when it comes to removing it is not difficult. Simply comes off with make up remover. 

Finally it is lip time, my go to everyday lip product is the revlon colorburst matte balm in the shade 205 Elusive Insaisable. It is the perfect everyday shade and can be applied on the go with no mirror needed.








So there you have it my everyday make up routine. There is a few products involved however I have found when I need to get ready fast I can do this look in 10 mins.
Thank you for reading and I look forward to continuing blogging.
