Another makeup update for you! I wanted to share a little update with all the details of every single product I used on my face for my everyday makeup look!
Most of my makeup favorites can now be found on Amazon!
Recent Ulta Haul
SKIN PREP
Obviously I wash my face and do my whole skin routine before- you can read all about that here. If I am waiting for a while ( like more than an hour in between washing my face and applying makeup) I usually use a small amount of my moisturizer before beginning my makeup routine. This is the one I currently use.
PRIME
I NEVER used a primer for the longest time. I had never tried one so I didn’t notice a difference until I tried it. Guys if you don’t use one- I promise it will change your life. It’s crazy how much of a difference it makes on how long your foundation lasts and how quickly it oxidizes.
I switch it up between three mainly. The first one is NYX marshmellow or the NYX Angel Veil
The second one I use is the Benefit POREfessional primer. This one really smoothes out any imperfections and lets your makeup stay all day. This one really prevents me from getting super oily throughout the day.
***PRO TIP*** One of my Sephora gals told me to wait a few minutes after applying your face lotion, primer, and foundation in order to let each dry and soak in completely. I never thought of this before she told me (and maybe I’m just late to this trick) but it really does make a world of difference!
FOUNDATION
So like every other girl, I have used 1,000 different foundations. . . and I go back to the same 2 every time. My absolute all time favorite is the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. It’s super pricey but oh my gosh worth every penny. It gives a medium coverage but leaves your skin looking like skin…not cakey and gritty. If you want more of a full coverage you can still achieve it with this foundation by layering it and it still looks flawless!
Gone are the days of HAVING to spend A TON of money on foundation- cause my new go to is the Maybelline Fit Me. One of my friends showed me this and I am absolutely in love. It is a matte foundation but it really gives your skin a “skin” look. It’s not cakey and it super full coverage.
BROW
I swear by this elf $2 brow pencil! Lots of shades and colors to choose from!
CONCEALER
Elf actually is the maker of my go to concealer and I think it’s only like $6?! But I seriously swear by it. It’s very thick but doesn’t crease- reminds me a lot of Shape Tape for like 1/10 of the price!
SETTING
I have tried A MILLION of these and I absolutely swear by the Revolution Banana Powder. It lasts all day and its literally $8. You can’t beat it.
EYES
While I’m setting, I usually go in and do my eyeshadow. I LOOOOVE the Morphe palettes- I don’t think I’ve even touched another eyeshadow in like 2 years- they are my go- to’s and super affordable.
This is the “coffee” pallette I use almost everyday too! A cheap version and it has some shimmery shades in it too!
BRONZER
I have a few Mac palettes with a matte contour/bronzer- so I use those to contour my nose and face- they’re not shimmery at all. For the rest of my face, I like to use this one my cheap Elf Bronzer! Only $6!
HIGHLIGHTER
For highlighter, I am currently using the Jaclyn Hill one. I like it a lot- but it’s really not anything SUPER special- I really enjoy the Becca ones too.
BLUSH
The one that I use daily currently is the NYX sweet cheeks. It’s a liquid blush but blends so beautiful! The shade I use is Babydoll.
If you’re not a liquid blush gal, Orgasm by Nars is my all time favorite. I like the peachy/pink tones for my skin personally. The Nars blushes are amazing! I also love Mac powder blushes. Modern Mandarin, Peachy Keen (it has some sparkle to it), and Pink Swoon. I have literally had them for years! They last forever!
SETTING SPRAY
Morphe definitely has the holy grail of all setting sprays! It’s not super matte or super dewey and for $8- I mean you can’t beat that!
EYELASHES
I wore fake eyelashes for the longest time and there are a couple that I absolutely love- my MOST worn pair are the Ardell ones here. I also love the Demi Wisipes by Ardell if you’re looking for a more suttle pair!
MASCARA
I don’t really have to use a lot of mascara both with the strip lashes. I’ll put a little on my bottom lashes but that’s about it! I love the Loreal Lash Paradise. It makes your lashes super full and long. You can re apply as much as you want to build on for the look you want!
LIPS
I recently found an AMAZING lip plumper that works really well (it does burn a little) but I love the look it gives. It’s by Dirty Works and smells like coconut (I literally love anything and everything coconut flavored/scented).
My everyday favorite lipstick is by Mac in the shade Daddys Girl and I use the liner by Rimmel London in Tiramisu.
The nude Charlotte Tilbury dupe I wore by elf is here in the shade “Satin”.
