Everyday Makeup

I have a very simple everyday makeup routine, which gives a very natural look.

Before putting on my makeup I cleanse and moisturise using my clean and clear deep cleansing lotion and my simple kind to skin hydrating light moisturiser. These have been mentioned in my Daily Skincare Routine and Collective Haul.

On to the makeup ...
 

First I apply my Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in the colour 20 'Cameo'. This foundation has a light coverage and a light feel which are the two qualities I look for in a foundation as I have quite spot free skin most the time. I love the look this gives my skin, unfortunately in winter (when my dry skin is particularly dry) I find this just emphasises the dry areas which makes my face look awful. I am hoping to buy a new foundation for drier skin once this one has run out.

 

Next I apply my Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer. I have this in 'medium' which is slightly too dark for under my eyes but is great for covering up redness everywhere else. I am sure you have heard lots about this concealer so I will shut up now.

 

After that I use my Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder in the shade 005 'Silky Beige' which I mentioned in my Collective Haul. I use this to set my makeup and get rid of oiliness around me nose and t-zone through the day. Love this the shade is perfect for my skin lasts a long time. This is my fourth one. Love it !

 

Now I use my Sleek Blush in the shade 'Flushed'. Love the colour, have already spoken about this in my Collective Haul. Lasts well and looks really natural !

 

Then I apply mascara, I use the Seventeen Back Lash mascara which claims to give 'Over 100% Greater Lash Impact'. I find it defines my lashes and makes them slightly longer. It also separates my lashes but it has taken a while to work out how to apply it without making it clump. But have slowly fallen in love with this mascara btu may not repurchase it as have my eyes on one of the Maybelline ones.

 

To finish off the look I use my Vaseline in 'Rosy Lips' which is a lip therapy balm with rose and almond oil. It moisturises my lips and slightly tints them so makes my lips a pinky natural colour.

brushes:

To apply my foundation I use the Real Techniques expert face blush, I dab this into the pot and then blend the foundation all over my face.

To apply the powder I use my H&M rouge brush which is not the best brush and have had it for ages. But don't see the point in buying a more expensive one as it works well to evenly distribute my powder.

To apply my blusher I use the Real Techniques 1407 blush brush. Love this brush as it is really soft and is amazing at applying blusher !
