My Daily Face Routine in 4 Easy Steps

On a day to day basis, I want to keep my makeup application as low maintenance as possible but I still want to a little umph to my face. So this is my 4 step process to easy breezy but cute and fab makeup.

1. Prep + Prime:

3 oz-32oz ($10-$45.50)

0.6 fl oz ($28.00)

I first start out with a clean surface using Philosophy's Purity Made Simple
Then I prime my face with Urban Decay's De-Slick in a Tube. This is a mattifying gel that keeps my face oil free all day



2. Perfect the Canvas

1.15 fl oz ($8.95)

.24 oz ($16.50)

I then apply a liquid foundation (it varies but I use Black Opal a large amount of the time: My color TRULY TOPAZ) to even out my skin tone.

I then apply my concealer on any blemishes and hiperpigmented areas. And then underneath my eyes to hide dark circles and act as a minimal highlight. My favorite being M.A.C's Studio Finish Concealer. My color (NC43)

3. Set + Define

                             (Prices vary depending on where you buy it: All major RX stores $5-$8)

.42 oz ($22.00)

                                                                    0.17 oz (16.50)

                                  (Trio varies depending on where you purchase-- $8.00-$10.00)

                                                                              ($1.99)

 

I fill in my brows with a dark brown Pencil and my tool of choice is Maybelline Define A Brow

Then I set my foundation with a pressed powder that mattifies with little color. I use MAC's Blot Powder
I prime my eyelids with MAC's Paint Pot in Soft Ochre
Then I apply a neutral shade to my entire lid and add a darker brown shade to the crease. This adds a little dimension to the eye. I like to use NYX Trio Shadow Palette in (Nude/Taupe/Dark Brown). It has all the colors you need.
Then I like to add a little umph with liner. I use MAC's Fluid Line Gel Liner to add a little wing effect to the top lash line
Lastly, I line my water line with a light pencil. White would be too stark, so I use a light nudish pink. Essence has a great one called "Almost Famous"

4. The Finishing Touches

Prices vary ($3.00-$5.00)

Prices Vary ($8.00-$10.00)



Pencils vary ($4.00-$7.00)

.5 fl oz ($24.00 each)

I add a bit of matte colored bronzer to the perimeter of my face and on my cheeks. A great one is NYC Bronzing Face Powder.

I then apply my favorite Mascara, Maybelline Lash Stiletto

Lastly I slightly color my lips with a liner and gloss. I usually line my lips and fill them in with a liner and then place a great gloss on top. The colors featured in the picture are Milani's Lipliner in "Mauve Star" and Face Atelier's LipGlaze in "Cameo"
