Everyday Makeup Routine

I haven't done an everyday makeup routine in a really long time, and the products I use now have pretty much all changed since then. The makeup that I do now I can have done in 10 minutes, its so easy and simple and perfect for those mornings when you can't be bothered to get ready. 

 The other great thing about this look is that it can be taken from day to night really easily by adding darker shadow or liner or by simply adding a bold lip!

I start out by prepping my skin with the Garnier Moisture Match Illuminating Light Lotion, which just gives my skin a glow. Perfect for mornings when my skin is looking a little dull and lacklustre. This is also great for no makeup days when your skin needs a little more life in it.

For my base I use my holy grail foundation product the Innoxa Skin Perfecting Foundation. I very rarely have breakouts the only skin issue that I face is slight redness on my cheeks. This product looks so natural on the skin and just evens everything out. I use this on a real techniques buffing brush which is amazing at applying any kind of base product. I then highlight and conceal under my eyes using the Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser which I buff in using the Elf Small Stipple brush.

 Using an Elf Kabuki brush I use a small amount of the Rimmel Stay Matte powder, I usually only put this over my concealer and then accross my eyelids.

For the cheeks I use the Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Golden Bronze on a powder brush to lightly contour and add warmth to my face. I tend to skip the blush and opt for a highlighter instead, this one is from Topshop and is the Crescent Moon Highlighter. IT. IS. AMAZING. Seriously go buy this highlighter its incredible it leaves your face looking glowing and bright but not shiny and sparkly. I use this on a tapered brush again from Elf can you tell I really love the Elf brushes?!

Now for the most important part! The eyebrows!! I fill and shape them using the Mac Brow Crayon in Fling, I then go over them and brush them into place with the Gimme Brow fro Benefit. This combination is unbeatable for me and just makes my look more polished and put together instead of having unruly brows!

Onto eye shadow, I use the Nars duo in Portobello which has two really nice browny taupe colours both of which are matte. I use the lighter of the two on an eco tools brush to slightly define my lids. I then pat a little bit of the Topshop highlighter on the centre of my lids. To finish it off I apply a million coats or just under of the One By One mascara my Maybelline, not my favourite but it will do.

To finish everything off I apply the Korres Jasmine Lip butter for a little bit of pinky gloss to my lips!

There ya go! The finished makeup which is still natural but looks slightly more put together! I'm going to try and do these more often, or whenever my makeup routine changed significantly. For now this is my go to look and its one that I really love.
