I think it's been a while since I have posted my everyday make up routine and I just realised that I have changed many of the products that I was using before during this year. That's why I thought it was going to be a great idea to do an updated post to show you my new everyday make up routine with all the new products I have incorporated into it.
First of all, I would like to say that for my everyday makeup I like to keep it very natural and basic. This is a very simple routine that only takes me around five minutes to do and it helps me to look better and more put together but it's a very subtle type of makeup. So, if you like something that is more glamorous maybe you can use this as the base for your make up routine and add more eyeshadows, or an eyeliner to make this makeup look more interesting. I also do that when I have some kind of event and I want my makeup to be more visible but for my normal life, this would be enough.
First, in regards to the foundation, I don't normally wear any for my everyday routine because, as I said, I like my makeup to be super natural. That's why I tend to wear a BB Cream because they will keep your skin hydrated, even your skin tone and add a little bit of color without covering that much. I am currently wearing the Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream from Kiehl's in the shade Natural and I'm loving this product. It's very light and moisturizing and I love that it has Vitamin C and SPF 50! This particular shade it's a little bit lighter for my skin tone but as it doesn't cover that much you can't really see the difference. Also if my skin doesn't look very good one day and I have many imperfections, I would choose to wear a foundation because, as I said, this BB Cream doesn't cover a lot.
Then I would apply my concealer. Right now I'm using the Sheer Eye Zone Corrector by Shiseido in the shade 104 Natural Ochre. I have never tried Shiseido products before but I'm really happy I got this concealer because it has a very nice color that matches perfectly with my skin tone and it does cover pretty well the dark zone under my eyes. Another thing I love about this product is that it comes with a very practical brush which makes it super easy to apply the concealer.
The next step is something that I just recently added to my routine and that is the eye primer. I always wanted to try an eye primer to see how it works and this year when I was in Croatia, I bought the I love Colour Intensifying Eyeshadow base by Essence because I can't get this brand here in Argentina and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I notice that it helps my eyeshadow to stay in place throughout the day and also I feel like the eyeshadow colour looks better with this product.
For the eyeshadow, I normally like to wear a colour that will help me to illuminate my eyes, so I always look for some champagne, light beige kind of colour and I'm currently using the Vamp! Compact Eyeshadow from Pupa in the shade 101 Vanilla. I think this tone is just perfect, it looks so natural and bright and another thing I love about it is that it's matte because I don't like wearing shimmery eyeshadows for a normal day.
After that, I apply the mascara. At the moment, I'm using the False Lash Architect by L'Oréal and I'm in love with it. I was using another mascara from this brand, the Volume Million Lashes Excess, which was also pretty good by I think the False Lash Architect has a better brush, it really separates my lashes and makes them look longer.
Last but not the least I will apply something to my lips. For a normal day, I may just go with a lip balm but if I want my makeup to look better I would apply this Mac Matte lipstick in the shade Velvet Teddy. This color is so nice and delicate that I really love to wear it, even though I don't normally wear anything on the lips. It really complements the nice and natural look.
So that's it for my everyday make up routine! I hope you like it and please let me know which are your favorite products for an everyday look, I would love to read your comments! Have a great week!! :)
