Hey guys! Although my makeup doesn’t vary too much on a regular basis, there are techniques and products that change from time to time so I thought it was a good time to update you all on my everyday makeup! This is my go-to everyday and then I usually just build on it depending on the kind of look I’m going for but for the most part this can easily go from day to night without being too excessive which is why I love it. Hope you enjoy!
STEP 1: FOUNDATION – I do like to try different foundations but the one that is always a favorite of mine is the Laura Mercier Photo Edition Foundation. It’s super hydrating and goes on flawlessly however I will say if you are oily or don’t like a very dewy feel this may not be the foundation for you. I happen to be extremely dry so I love how much hydration it gives me!
STEP 2: CONCEALER – I have been loving the Too Faced Born this Way concealer. I usually apply concealer under my eyes and to any areas where I have blemishes. Then I usually use a brush or beauty blender to blend it in.
STEP 3: SETTING POWDER – I recently tried the Hourglass Cosmetics Veil Translucent powder and let me tell you, this one is giving my Laura Mercier powder a run for it’s money. I’m actually obsessed with it and have been using it every day!
STEP 4: BRONZER – On a regular basis I don’t like to do any kind of heavy contouring but I will use a bronzer to just carve out some parts of my face that I want to pop a bit more and also add a bit more color to my skin with bronzer. I do this with a very light hand just to add a subtle bit of contour without doing anything extreme. I like to switch up my bronzers a lot but the one I used here today was the NARS Matte Bronzer in Laguna.
STEP 5: BLUSH – On days where I’m wearing makeup, I will never leave the house without blush, it’s my absolute favorite and I feel gives so much life back to the face. I have a huge collection of blushes but the one I used here is the Tarte Amazonian Blush.
STEP 6: HIGHLIGHTER – I love a good highlight right above my cheekbones and on the tip of my nose. There are so many amazing highlighters but one I’ll always reach for is my Mac Cosmetics Skinfinish Highlighters – they are so good! My fav shade is soft & gentle although I have pretty much all of them!
STEP 7: EYESHADOW – I usually go for a bronze or neutral brown eye. One of my favorite palettes right now is the Too Faced Natural Nudes Palette since it has all the colors I would reach for on a day to day basis. Usually I apply a neutral shade in my crease and today I used Maple from that same palette. For the eyelid I wanted to add a little shimmer so I used my NARS Powerchrome Loose Eye Pigment in Stricken.
STEP 8: MASCARA – I like to apply mascara to the top mainly and use any excess on my wand for the bottom lashes. Today used this Lancome Mascara.
STEP 9: LIP LINER – I will typically always line my lips. I think it gives such a polished and gorgeous look to the face and really defines the lips and makes them look fuller. I will typically choose a shade slightly darker than the lip color I choose to do for the day to really make it stand out. I love the colourpop lip liners right now and the shade I used is Lumiere.
STEP 10: LIPSTICK – I’m usually more of a gloss gal so I am usually reaching for a colored gloss. I love the MAC Lipglasses and love the shade Cultured as my “go-to.”
Voila! Sometimes I’ll spritz with a setting powder as well and I’m good to go! Let me know what you guys think about this look and if you have tried any of the same products! I hope you found this useful and let me know if you have any questions!
