My Everyday Makeup Routine

First I start by priming my face. I've been loving my The Body Shop Skin Primer Matte It. It makes my skin feel so smooth and I have found I don't get as oily when I use it. 


I don't use foundation ever, but I love BB cream. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB and Pure BB are my two favorites that I use. I love the Dream Fresh when I know I'm going to be out in the sun for long periods of time.  Lately I've been using more of the Pure BB because of it's added benefit of having 2% salicylic acid to help combat breakouts. 

To conceal my under eye circles, I absolutely LOVE my Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer. It blends well into my skin and it really helps to lighten my dark circles. I recently bought the Nars Creamy Concealer after hearing so many great things about it, and I have to say it does live up to its hype. I use this more for spot treatments on my face, but it works great for under eyes as well. 

To set my face make up, I first use my NYX Studio Finishing Powder Translucent Finish. To apply that i use my elf kabuki face brush. Then i spray the all too famous UD de-slick makeup setting spray, of course. I love these two together because they really keep my oily skin under control. 

For my cheeks I love theBalm DownBoy. It's the perfect baby pink to give your cheeks a nice rosy glow.  Then right above that I do three dots of Benefits High Beam

To fill in my eyebrows, I have been using Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eye Pencil. For my eyeliner, my go-to is my Almay Intense I-Color  in brown topaz to make my blue eyes pop. I finish with my Benefits They're Real Mascara.

I don't use eyeshadow every single day, but when I do, my go-to lately has been the Lorac Unzipped palette. The perfect nude eyeshadows are so creamy and blend beautifully.

For my lips, I recently purchased the Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lip Color in Lust for Blush. It's been my go-to lip color ever since.
