My daily make up routine.

The make up i used/The end result. So i decided to do a post about my daily make up routine, just because being back at college puts me back into a routine and my daily make up has changed over the holidays. If someone told me a couple of years ago this would be my make up routine i would of laughed in their face because back then i was at school and i loved a bright eye shadow and i would of tried any new product and spend a ridicolous amount on products that didn't suit me, but i still wore them anyway. Now i've found a routine i'm happy with and doesn't consist of me getting up super early to get ready i also don't spend a ridicolous amount of money on products i won't get use from. By far my favourite part of any day is getting ready in the morning it always has been and i think it always will be. I'm going to list the products i use and in what order i use them just because it makes everything easier. -First things first is Spa exfoliating wipes. Which cleanses, tones and moisturises all in one go. Dead simple. -Next i apply Astral original moisturiser. I think this works well with the wipes and my foundation but no with all foundations because it's quite oily so i'd advice to use more with thicker foundations. -Then it's foundation time. For foundation i use Collection 2000 colour match foundation in Dark 6. (I only use this foundation when i have fake tan on.) -(Without fake tan) I use Witch anti-blemish tinted moisturiser in shade 02 medium. -For concealer i use MUA cover and conceal in Almond. -Because i suffer with quite bad darkenss under the eyes i also use another concealer on top which is Lizzie hide and correct conealer in Dark. -I never used to use face powder but i use this religiously just because it helps make my make up last longer and it's the Collection 2000 shine away compact powder in 3 DEEP. -I'm not completely happy with my bronzer but the one i've been using recently is the MUA bronzer in shade 1. -Blusher. I stopped using blusher for like the past 4 months but in the past couple of days i've been using the MUA blusher in shade 5 and i'm actually quite liking it. -So that's what i call my base make up done, then i move onto my eyebrows. Again i've only been using this product for like a month because i never really used to fill my brows in but now i'm hooked. I use the Beauty uk High brow-Eyebrow kit. It only comes in one shade and inside there's 3 colours and 1 wax. For my brows i use the brown powder. -I then apply the Porefessional by Benefit onto my eye lid and take it right up to my eyebrow. I blend it using my finger to make sure no excess is left. -I also apply a very small amount of the Porefessional by Benefit onto my lips just to make my lipstick last longer. (only if i'm wearing lipstick.) -I then take the lightest colour (ment for blondes) from my Beauty uk High brow-Eyebrow kit and apply it all over my lid to the crease with a fluffy brush. Then i blend it out with a blending brush into the crease. -I have a werid a habbit of applying Lipstick before Mascara just because Mascara always takes me the longest. So now i apply my Lipstick, Which today is MUA Lipstick in Juicy shade 15. I don't smother my lips in this, i just pat it onto my lips because it looks more natural. -I now curl my lashes. -Finally i apply mascara. Which i usually mix up somedays i wear brown others it's black. Today it's Constance Carroll Lots of lashes macara which specialises in lengthening and adding volume in 1 Black. -I again curl my lashes now (it honestly does make such a diffrence.) (Wait for the Mascara to dry first though.) -I now brush over my lashes using the Benefit Bad gal lash Mascara. Just to add extra volume and space out my lashes because it's a nice thick wand. That's my daily make up routine. I hope you found it useful in any way. I know it was quite a long post and i apologise for that but i wanted to include everything.
