Everyday Make-Up Routine

Hey guys, today's blog is my everyday make-up routine. I will give a step by step run through and my reviews on each product. Most of the products I've been using for years and some are fairly new staples. Carry on reading if you want to find out more. 

Firstly, I start with balance me tinted wonder eye cream. This has light-reflecting particles and suits all skin types. This is great if you’re a beginner and don't want to colour correct. It's nourishing while giving a hint of cover. For foundation I use hello flawless, oxygen wow by benefit. It's oil free with SPF 25. I use "I’m pure for sure" ivory. I blend this in with a damp real technique sponge. I then go in with collection lasting perfection concealer in light. I apply this under the eyes, on the centre of the forehead and down the nose. I then blend this in with a damp sponge. I then set this in with translucent powder by Rimmel London match perfection. 

I then go to my eye makeup. I start with urban decay eye shadow primer potion in original. This is very easy to apply and a little goes a long way. My go to summer palette has to be urban decay naked 2. I use tease all over my lid then go in with suspect on the centre of the lid. I then blend busted into the outer corner and blend into suspect. I then blend foxy into the upper eyelid towards the brow bone. I then blend tease and busted round to the under eye. I use booty call to highlight the inner corner. 

I then move onto my brows. I use my Maybelline New York line refine expression kojol in 38 brown. I then use more brows by model co. in medium/dark. I then use booty call to highlight the brow bone.

I then move onto bronzer. I use hoola by benefit. I love this bronzer. As I am quite pale it is hard for me to find a bronzer which makes me have a nice glow, as most make me look dirty as they're too dark. This is the perfect bronzer and as it’s such a nice shade I actually use it as eye shadow some times when I want I smoked out brown look. I then bake this using the same loose powder. 

While that is on I go in with Smashbox blush rush in flush. This is a gorgeous light pink that has a light shimmer in it. It is perfect to use by itself or with some added highlight. It is a great spring/ summer blush that would look amazing on light skin tones. I then take collection contour kit Highlight & Sculpt. I use this highlight on the top of my cheekbones on the nose and on my cupids bow. This is a light highlight that isn't too intense so just gives the skin a nice, natural glow. 

Next I normally apply eyeliner but it depends on my mood and the look I’m going for. So I normally use either soap &glory supercat or Kiko lasting gel eyeliner. I then go in with benefit bad gal lash on the top lashes and then M.A.C false extreme lashes extreme black. 

My go to lipsticks are all nudes for the summer. So my go to nudes are Maybelline New York colour drama in nude perfection, soap & glory sexy mother pucker lipstick in the missing pink, M.A.C matte in velvet teddy and max factor in 833 rosewood.
