Daily Makeup Routine

I love reading about how other people do their hair and makeup. It gives me some inspiration to try new things. This year I have started wearing a little more makeup on a daily basis and I have been really loving how it turns out. It is normally very light because I like it when I wear makeup but it's not completely obvious. This is how I do my makeup on a school day since I don't wear anything on the weekends.

BB Cream

I have been using this Maybelline BB Cream for about four years now. It is the first thing of makeup I put on after I wash my face. I use it to cover up red spot and the bags underneath my eyes. Just the BB Cream alone doesn't up it up a lot, but added with the foundation it does a great job.

Powder Foundation

This foundation was in my Best of September post. Read it here. I have been using the Trish McEvoy foundation everyday. I goes on really lightly so it is easy to build to the level I want. I have always used this brush from The Body Shop. It is really soft and does a great job that I would recommend it to everyone.

Blush

The Trish McEvoy blush is to die for.  It goes on smoothly and lightly. I am never at risk of looking like a clown with really bright pink cheeks. I add this to my cheeks to add a change in color after I have put on the foundation, 

Eye Shadow

For eye shadow I first use the Naked Basics Palette. To start I put Venus all over my lid, near my eye brows and around the inner eye. Then I add Naked 2  to the lid. Finally I use Trish MaEvoy in Tawny which I put in my crease and around the outer corner of my eye. I have been doing my eye shadow like this for quite a while and I still really love it. 

Mascara

I recently got the Loreal Voluminous Orgianal Mascara and I really like it. The main reason I don't love it is that if I forget to take it off before I workout, It runs all over the place. If you ignore that, it makes for a rather thick eye lash and looks really great. 

Lip Balm

I just end my makeup with a little Burt's Bees Lip Balm. I normally use the vanilla flavor because it smells so good, and it goes on clear unlike some other ones.I add this since my lips are always super chapped and then I have another one in my backpack that I reapply throughout the day. 

That's my daily makeup routine!
