My everyday makeup routine

Hello everyone!
I hope you're all good :)

Today I am going to tell you about my updated everyday makeup routine. I have briefly gone over my routine in my morning routine (before school) but since I posted that I have added in new products and changed some. I also thought that for those that are just getting into makeup or people that want a more detailed version of it here it is with pictures and all.

Lets do this!

Here is all the products I will be using -

And the brushes I use - 

Starting completely facially naked here I am:


You want to have a completely clean face to start to achieve a flawless finish. I start by moisturizing my face, I am using the Neutrogena Naturals Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Moisturizer. I find that a little of this goes a very long way, but don't be afraid to use lots as more is more. You want to completely cover your face and neck, leave this until your skin is dry. I use my hands to apply my moisturizer.

I then move onto my concealer. I am using Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in soft beige, I dot this under my eyes to cover my dark circles, around and on my nose to cover freckles, and lightly on my cheeks to cover redness. I blend this in with an artiste professional creme blush/bronzer brush,  I find it really good to blend my concealer, as the shape allows me to get close to my eye and into the creases around my nose to blend completely. I tap my ring finger lightly over where I have applied the concealer as to blend any that hasn't been with my brush, the heat of my hand assists this.



Next I put on some Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer with a light tint. I use this rather than a foundation as it is much lighter, doesn't go cakey after wearing it all day and it looks a lot more natural. I rub this on with my fingers then blend with a thin lizzy face brush. When blending a full face makeup make sure to blend down your neck and into your hairline as to avoid lines showing where your makeup ends.




To set my makeup I use an Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder in the shade deep natural. I apply this all over my face to set the concealer and moisturizers to make them stay throughout the day. I really like this powder as it's really lightweight but still does what i want it to. I use an artiste professional stippling brush to apply it.


I now put on my lip balm, I put it on now as to let it soak in and do its job before i put anything else on my lips. Sadly the wrapper has been taken off my lip balm and I have no idea what it is!


I then start on my eyes by lining my lower waterline with a Lancome Le Stylo eyeliner in the shade 301 Amethyst  I really like to use this as it makes my eyes look brighter and shows the blue of my eyes. 


I put some Brown Thin Lizzy Eyeliner on the outer corners of my water line to accentuate the curve of my eye. I put this into the middle of my water line and blend it with the lancome eyeliner to create a smudged look.


Onto my eyelashes. I am using the Revlon Lash Potion mascara in Blackest Black. I was recommended this mascara by a friend and I got it for Christmas, since then I haven't stopped using it. Before getting this i would get my eyelashes tinted in blue black, as much as I liked how my eyes looked after getting them tinted, the colour wouldn't last long and I would need to curl my lashes every morning since switching to mascara I have barely ever curled them unless I want extra curl. After one coat I brush through with a lash and brow brush to separate my lashes and to remove any clumps. 


To let the first coat of mascara dry I move to do my eyebrows. My eyebrows seriously need doing so please ignore that haha. I use the Thin Lizzy eyeliner to fill in any small gaps in my eyebrows to make them look fuller, I then brush through them with my lash and brow brush.


I then do another layer of mascara, and brush through with the lash and brow brush again. To finish my eyes i use my artiste professional creme blush/bronzer brush with my Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder to tidy up around my eyes. 

To start on my lips I line them with an Elizabeth Arden lip pencil in the shade Taupe. I find lining my lips gives my lips more definition and also makes the lipstick more prominent. 


To finish off my makeup I am using a Revlon Colourburst Lipbutter in the shade Sweet Tart. Then brushing of some Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder with my artiste professional stippling brush. I find that finishing my lips with the powder mutes the colour slightly giving a more natural look and it makes the lipstick last.


That's my makeup done!
 Here is the finished look:

And a before and after:
