Everyday Make-Up Routine



Hello Lovelies!

Today I thought I would share with you my go-to early morning make up routine. Since starting a second job time on make up has to be cherished and well used so the products I pick have to be quick to apply and ones that look good through-out the day with minimal touch ups. 

As a base I have been loving MAC Face & Body lately. It leaves a gorgeous dewy finish to the skin but lasts for ages! It is a light coverage foundation which I normally prefer but it can also be built up to be full coverage too! For under my eyes on an early morning YSL Touche Eclat is a definite must for me! It completely brightens up and illuminates my under-eye area unlike anything else I've ever used. Despite the pricetag this is always something that will be in my make-up bag! For powder I have been using Rimmel Stay Matte which is cheap as chips but does the job. I just wish that the packaging was a bit better so I could bring it around in my handbag without the fear of it opening and smashing. On a day to day basis I wouldn't normally bother with contouring or major bronzing but I do apply a small bit of MAC Well Dressed to my cheeks just to add some colour. It is my go to blush and it just has never let me down. I'm obsessed with it! For my brows I have been using my MAC palette which contains Omega & Espresso and I use a mixture of those two colours. With a small sweep of Maybelline Permanent Taupe across my lids and a few coats of Maxfactor False Lash mascara on my lashes my eyes are done. Bit of the much hyped Babylips and I'm out the door! 

So that is the routine I have gotten into the past while for my quick early morning look, I do change it up slightly if I'm feeling like a change on the day but these are the things I normally reach for when I manage to pull myself from the bed. 

What products make your everyday routine? What can't you be without?
