My Daily Makeup Routine

One of the things I have mastered in my morning routine is my daily makeup. I can do my whole face in under 15 minutes because I have this down TO A SCIENCE. Now, I'm not putting on a full "going out" face every morning, but I am putting on enough that naturally pretty women would deem "too much." Sorry, my under-eye bags (at least they're Prada) need a little work before I can be presentable to society. 🙃 Anyway, if you're at all interested in how I prevent myself from looking as dead on the outside as I am on the inside keep reading to find out my daily makeup routine!

Face

Foundation: Too Faced Born This Way Foundation in Vanilla

This is my tried-and-true foundation. I apply it with a beauty blender and it gives me the perfect amount of coverage in one layer. Sometimes if I really need it I use the Born This Way Concealer as well, but usually just the foundation is enough to help my face look like I didn't just crawl out of the crypt.

Powder: Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder in Porcelain

HAH I love how every shade I use on my face is as pale as can be because I literally never see the sun. Anyway, I like this powder after I put on my foundation because it sets everything and doesn't make my nose look greasy in photos.

Blush: tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Paaarty

Honestly, tarte blushes are the best and they have such great color. I first got this blush as a birthday gift at Sephora and have been repurchasing it ever since. It gives my cheeks a pretty flush without me looking like a 19th Century porcelain doll.

Eyes

Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow Pomade in Medium Brown

Ever since I worked at Sephora for holiday that one time in 2015 I have been using this product. One of the senior staff members gave me a sample and I was like, "whaaaaat this is SO much better than a brow pencil that I have to keep repurchasing every two weeks!" Seriously though, a pot of this will last you MONTHS it is insane. Note: Never leave the house without doing your brows. Completes the whole face, trust me on this. I can show you pictures of my mother before and after she started filling in her brows but then she'd disown me so you just have to TRUST ME.

Eye Shadow: Too Faced Natural Eye Palette (the original)

I said "the original" because I noticed that Too Faced recently redid this palette and it is not the same as the one I have. I think the colors are basically the same, but either way I use a light brown shadow and then a darker one in my outer corner. That's it. Everyday. Sometimes I even bring the darker shade to my lower lash line when I'm feeling frisky.

Eyeliner: L'Oreal Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner

I love this chubby eyeliner so damn much. A quick swipe on my upper lash line and my water line and I'm good to go. Just to make the eyes pop.

Mascara: tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara

To be honest I only use this brand because they have special packaging and I'm a sucker for anything cute. The mascara is actually really good, but I prefer this drugstore one I got as a Christmas gift a while back and I can't remember the brand or the name so it honestly keeps me up at night. One day I will find out what that amazing mascara was, and when I do I'll update this blog. Just don't hold your breath.

Lips

Lipstick: Bare Minerals Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lipstick in Slay

Yaaaas, bitch, slayyyy. Just kidding I'm not that basic (I am). When I did my fashion show I was first introduced to how this lipstick is literally my perfect shade and I have been buying it in bulk ever since. It's the perfect pink without being too pale or rosey. Honestly just 10/10 overall and the whole Gen Nude line is fabulous. A must-try.

Well, that's it! Using all these products takes me about 15 minutes and then I'm out the door ready to lose my mind at work. I'm always down for product recommendations so if you have any favorites you think I should try please let me know in the comments below!
