Daily Make-Up Routine

Hello everyone! Today I am going to talk about my natural glow go-to make-up routine.

In the mornings, I have about 15 minutes to work with for make-up so I try to keep it pretty simple.

I start off with a pea-sized amount of primer, which is Charlotte Tilbury’s, Wonder Glow. I rub that all over my face with my fingers. Then I combine a pump of Cetaphil’s Redness Relieving Daily Facial Moisturizer and It Cosmetics CC cream, and blend it in with a damp beauty blender. I like to mix them together so that the CC cream isn’t as heavy or full coverage.

Surprise! I don’t use concealer unless it is a special occasion, but I do use Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector. I find that it looks more natural because its job is to cancel out the dark color instead of just covering it up. If you want to learn more about the difference between concealer and collectors leave a comment below and I will make a blog post about it. Blend out using your finger, brush or beauty blender. If you haven’t tried this and you have dark under eyes, I recommend giving it a go. It is a game-changer!

After that, I spray my entire face with Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray I do this after my cream products and before my setting powder because as an oily skin type, these are the products that tend to come off easiest, and I want to make sure they are on for the day, not just 15 minutes.

Then, I put Charlotte Tilbury’s Micro-Powder. Charlotte Tilbury’s Powder is one of my holy grail products it works so well!

Afterwards, I put Fenty Beauty’s Bronzer in the shade Shady Biz, right under my cheek bones, on my jaw line, and on the top edge of my forehead.

Then comes one of my favorite parts, blush. In my opinion, Blush is one of the products that make the biggest difference in my routine. It adds youthfulness and brightness that helps you look like you are living your best life! I use two blushes interchangeably. The Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- hour blush in the color paaarty and Milani’s Baked Powder Blush in the shade Berry Amore. I apply this to the apples of my cheeks, on my forehead right above my eyes, and on my nose. I apply this to more than just my cheeks because it helps bring balance and dimension making the whole look together.

Highlighters! They bring shine and light! If you want something that gives you that extra wow use ColourPop Super Shock Highlighter. If you want something more natural use Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Brick Compact. I put this on my cheekbone and bring it up on the temple, in corner of my eye, down the bridge of my nose, and on my cupids bow.

I don’t really wear eye shadow or eyeliner every day, but I do curl my lashes and put on mascara. My absolute favorite mascara is It Cosmetics Water Proof Tightline. It lengthens every lash while giving you some fullness. Amazing!

Wrap it up with some lip love using Jack Black’s Intense Therapy Lip Balm.

There ya have it! My go-to makeup routine. I hope you enjoy! Comment some of your holy grail make-up products, if you have you tried any of these, or if you have any tips and tricks!

XOXO,
