Today I'm being a little different and sharing my make up that I use daily! I have always switched back and forth on products, trying to figure out what is best for my skin type; but now I can finally say that I have finally found my favorites that I love and work! So in other words, I need to hurry and stock up on them, just in case!
Revlon Photoready Primer - First the primer! I've used two other kinds of primer before I found this one and I feel that this really minimizes my pores better than the previous ones.
MILANI 2 in 1 Foundation - Next, the foundation! I've always had a hard time finding a really good foundation, but I think that search has finally come to an end! I will put drops of it on certain areas of my face, then blend it with a foundation brush. I'll then go back with a blending sponge to smooth and blend. I have to say, this foundation has great all over coverage, and it even smells good too!
NYX Concealer - The next step, I'll go back with the concealer and put it under my eyes for dark circles and then blend it in. (I've been experimenting this dark circle concealer by NYX as well)
Wet n Wild Dual End Contour Stick - Now for the contouring! It took many tries and a lot of practice to finally get the hang of contouring. I found that I can work with contour sticks better than with powder, so this is what I've been using. I used the highlighter end once and didn't like it, but I've used the contour one consistently! (There's also this dual end contour stick that I'll be switching to once I'm done with this one)
Maybelline Cover Stick - So this may be a little unusual, but I use the lightest shade (ivory) of this cover stick for the highlight. Of course I have to blend it in really good so that it's not just small white streaks on my face, haha! I place it on top of my cheek bones and between my chin and the bottom of my cheek.
This is the beauty blender I use and prefer *not pictured*
MILANI Translucent Setting Powder - After everything has been blended in, I set it with this setting powder with my IT cosmetics brush. I never brush the powder in, but rather blot it on my face with my brush so that I don't disturb the rest of my make up. (try this brush by IT)
Colour Pop Eye Shadows - This brand is my go-to for eyeshadows! They're well pigmented and comes in many different shades! You buy each shadow individually so that you're able to create your own eye palette. My top shades: Let Me Explain, Pep Talk, and High Strung.
Naked 2 - I pretty much only use 2 or 3 eyeshadows on this palette, and mainly to use as a smokey effect.
Maybelline Define-A-Line & Define-A-Lash - I keep it pretty old school (but for real, I've been using at least the same liner since middle school) with my eyeliner and mascara. I tend to constantly try new mascaras once I'm done with the one I'm using (I really love this one), but for now this is what I use because of the lash separating bristles. With my eyeliner, ya'll I tried with liquid liner but my hand coordination isn't stable for that just yet, lol.
Maybelline FIT Me Blush - I'm currently wearing the Medium Nude blush for a more natural cheek color.
NYX Illuminator - Just added this to the ol' routine and helps add some extra glow to the cheek bones.
