My Everyday Makeup Routine

Hi everyone,

Hope you’ve all been well, today I want to show you all my everyday makeup routine. I keep it super simple, and on days like this, I don’t wear foundation. That being said, I don’t have perfect skin, I just choose not to wear foundation because I don’t think it’s necessary for me. I only really wear foundation for special events where I do a full face – clubbing, birthdays, going out etc.

For my everyday makeup I do:

• Brows
• Liner
• Mascara
• Lipstick

When I have extra time, I do:

• Eyeshadow
• Blush
• Highlight

Brows:

I use a mixture of products – pencil, powder and mascara/gel.

I use the pencil to outline my brow shape, then I fill it in with the powder and fill in any gaps with the mascara/gel.

Pen  – Miniso brow pencil in 02 brown and My Melody brow pencil in 5 brown gray, LOL brow powder in ’02 Espresso’ and Essence Make Me Brow Gel in ’02 browny brows’

Liner:

I like to use pens as they’re easy to use.

I start from the outer corner and make the ‘base’ of the wing, before joining the top of that line towards my eye. Then I fill it in.

Liner – Miniso Waterproof Eyeliner

Mascara:

I only use mascara on my bottom lashes, I find the look to be more natural. I am light handed when applying the mascara, as I try to avoid spider looking lashes – keeping it natural as I mentioned before.

Mascara –  Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara, Maybelline Lash Sensational, Maybelline Mega Plush Volum Express

Lipstick:

I like adding some colour to my lips, it pulls the look together. I often go for pinks for an everyday flush of colour on the lips. Or I opt for lip tints, once again keeping it natural.

I tend to avoid mattes, or liquid lipsticks for everyday wear, I find it too full on/less natural looking, but that is just my personal preference.

Lipstick – Miniso long lasting lipstick in ‘Infatuation’, Skinfood Tomato Cool Jelly Lip Tint, Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick in ‘Slow Burn’

Eyeshadow:

I use eyeshadows on days where I am trying to add more colour to coordinate with my outfit haha.

I keep it natural, sweep the colour across my eyelid and sometimes putting a shimmer shadow in my bottom waterline.

Eyeshadows – Etude House My Little Nut, The Balm Nude Dude

Blush:

I love adding some colour to my cheeks. Using a pink blush keeps the look natural. I sometimes use a blush with shimmers, but other times I use a matte blush with minimal shimmer – it depends on my mood, and my outfit.

Blushes – The Balm Frat Boy, It’s Skin Petit Blusher in ’03’

Highlight:

When using highlight, I mainly do my nose – it’s a must! When I am more bothered, I do my brow bone and my cupids bow. I rarely highlight my cheek bones, but when I am feeling a little adventurous, I highlight that too.

Highlight – W7 Glowcomotion

That’s it for my makeup routine, super simple and natural. I’d love to know what your everyday makeup routine consists of! Feel free to leave me a comment telling me all about it 🙂

With love,

Irene
