Everyday Makeup Routine







NARS bronzer in Laguna, BareMinerals Touch Up Veil, MAC blush in Harmony, Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer, Esteé Lauder Double Wear Foundation, Benefit thePorefessional, Maybelline One by One, Maybelline Illegal Lengths, Clinique High Impact mascara, MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study, Avon Supershock Gel Liner in Black, Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner, MAC Brow Gel in Clear, Avon Brow Definer in Dark Brown and MAC lipstick in Hue


I call this my "everyday makeup routine" but, to be fair, it's really the routine I use when I actually wear makeup as I don't wear it everyday. I hardly have any time during school!

Taken by my iPhone, apologises for awful quality

For my face the first product I use is the Benefit Porefessional primer followed by my new found love, Esteé Lauder Double Wear foundation. I picked up a sample as I heard so many great things about this product, and after three uses, I can already tell it is going to be my new favourite foundation. The full size is on my wist list already! Using the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair I go over any redness or imperfections and then I set everything with the bareMinerals Ready Touch Up Veil in Translucent. To contour I use Harmony by MAC and then put some NARS Laguna bronzer all over the face. Done.

I use a lot of products on my eyes, I know. If I have time I'll pop a few eyeshadows on, but for everyday makeup I just put Bare Study Paint Pot by MAC all over the lid. I line my upper lash line by using the Maybelline Master Pecise Liquid Eyeliner in Black and my tight-line using Avon Supershock Gel Liner in Black. For mascara I use three: Maybelline One by One, Maybelline Illegal Lengths and Clinique High Impact. For my brows I use the Avon Brow Definer in Dark Brown followed by MAC Brow Gel in Clear.

Lastly I use my favourite MAC lipstick, Hue.

As for tools and brushes, I mainly use Real Techniques - their face brushes are perfection. For bronzer I use my MAC 129 as it collects the perfect amount of product.

What's your everyday routine like?
