Beauty Bit: Current Everyday Makeup

 

To be completely honest, I think I was extremely surprised when I saw how many products I use on a daily basis when I was gathering them up for a group picture...

And to think this is the "pared down" version of my everyday makeup routine too!

It doesn't take particularly long for me to get my makeup on in the mornings -- it just depends on whether I am working efficiently with no distractions, or if I am taking my time, whilst boogie-ing to my Itunes' playlist. 

In general, it takes about 10-15 minutes for my whole face

Base:

• Skin79 VIP Gold Super Beblesh Balm mixed with Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream to provide the perfect shade for my skintone
• NARS Radiant Creamy Concealor is used for the areas where hyperpigmentation is still showing
• All applied using the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush
• Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder provides a mattifying effect, and blurs imperfections and pores

Eyes:

• Urban Decay Primer Potion to help prevent eyeproducts from sliding around on oily lids
• Using the Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral Palette 02 (love this palette because they are all MATTE shades), sweep the neutral shade all over lid with the Sephora Professionals eyeshadow brush
• Line eyes using the dark brown shade from the palette using a flat liner brush from SOHO
• Sweep Benefit's They're Real mascara on lashes

Brows: 

• Brush through brows using the spoolie end of the brush
• Mix the two shades on the right from a random Clinique palette together and apply on brows to darken/define them

Cheeks: 

• Apply MAC Fashion Frenzy on cheeks using a Sephora Professional Blusher brush     

Finishing:

And finally, to prevent face from looking too flat/lifeless, I spray a few spritzs of Missha's First Treatment Essence Spray. 

For lips, I will pick and choose whichever shade I am in the mood for, depending on my outfit. 

And voila -- all done!

(Some days, I do throw in an additional product here and there, but for the most part, this is it)
