My basic makeup routine

I like my makeup simple quick and easy. All though there are days where I like to spice it up and get creative but on a daily basis....it just doesn't happen. So here is my step by step makeup routine, these are products that I've been using for awhile and has never failed me. I encourage some of you to use these products and see how they work for you and give me some product suggestions, I'm always open!


1.Primer- I have moderate to dry skin so this Makeup Forever primer is perfect for my skin type in the moisturizing formula. They have various types of formulas for everyone.

2.Foundation-I've been switching between these two foundations for awhile because there is really no difference in formula just a slight change in color (accept the 3-in-1 is a bit thicker). I like to apply these with the Real Techniques beauty blender or with just a flat top buffer brush. These foundations don't oxidize which is probably my biggest issue when it comes to picking out foundation.

3.Concealer-This is one makeup item that I can truly say I haven't tried anything better. I've tried so many concealers and I can honestly say this one is my favorite. The biggest problem I have with concealers is creasing, this would irritate me so much. So I saw some reviews on this concealer and decided to bite the bullet and buy it. I normally don't buy products that are hyped up by youtubers but this was definitely worth it.

4.Setting powder-I don't always use setting powder; I only use it on the days I feel like I might be needing it. Because this is a very matte setting powder and I'm leaning towards drier skin I only use it when I know I'll be sweating. My concealer and my foundations seem to have no problem staying on my face, but I definitely love this in the summer to help control oil. This powder is in translucent but they also come in a VERY small range of colors.

5.Contour/Bronzer- So since I do have a darker complexion there is a limited amount of shades to contour/bronze with. This powder foundation is the perfect shade for me, I have yellow undertones so I like the outside of my face to have a more pinkish redish undertone and I love it. I actually discovered this product through my mom, she used this as her foundation for awhile and didn't really like it so I figured it wouldn't hurt if I tried it as a bronzer.

6.Highlight-I love to glow! I'll admit this is the only highlighter I've bought and I honestly don't have a need to buy any others. This company is known for their highlighters and is now known for their Champagne Pop highlighter that they collaborated with Jacklyn Hill with. I'll be honest I tried Champagne Pop in Sephora and it was just too frosty for me thats why I went with Opal.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector

7.Brows-Last but not least! I've recently started paying more attention to my brows and I wanted a good product but without spending the big bucks. A lot of people compare this product to the Anastasia Brow Wiz which I personally haven't tried yet but I don't feel the need to spend $20 dollars when I have this product that I only have to pay half the price for. I definitely recommend trying this product first before testing any other expensive brands.
