Hey y’all!
When I was growing up my grandma told me “I will never leave the house without being put together”, as I was watching her put her makeup on. This has always stuck with me. Not that I dress to the 9’s or have my face at a full beat every day. However, I try to be at least slightly put together and trying to get better too lol. Growing up my grandma had her nails done, hair freshly curled, cute outfits daily, and do not forget the lipstick!
I have been doing a minimal amount of makeup here lately. It’s enough to make me feel like I’m hiding enough of my insecurities, but not too much to look like I’ve tried too hard. I thought I would share my everyday makeup products! Let’s get it!
Primer-
I really feel like the primer seals the deal for me. This keeps my makeup on all day long its hydrating, dewy, slightly tacky. I use OLEHINRIKSEN Banana Bright Face Primer. I really feel like it fills in my pores nicely even on days where I’m not wearing foundation this gives my skin a beautiful healthy glow!
Foundation-
I have been using the It Cosmetics CC cream for the last like 3 years- the one that comes in the silver packaging. It’s the original formula. But, let me tell you this stuff is GOLD! I know a lot of people love the other formulas, there’s a matte and an illuminating one as well.
Concealer-
I’ve been using the COLOURPOP no filter matte concealer for around 5 months now, I’m on my second tube! The only reason I went through the first tube so fast was that I was spot correcting and using a lot of it during the summer to avoid doing a full face of foundation. This claims to be full coverage, however not near as full coverage as tastes shape tape.
Bronzer-
I think this is my favorite step of all. Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer is really the best it’s super smooth and super fine with a slight sheen so it doesn’t look powdered. An extra bonus is that this is a drugstore product!
Mascara-
There 3 that I’m currently in love with… First is the Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes. This one is waterproof this really adds so much volume, length, and curl to my lashes also, this will hold a curl in your lashes if you curl them! ( Tarte is what I’m curretly using up) The second one I love is the NARS Climax mascara talk about volume and length wow… This one adds incredible length to my lashes. It creates a really nice separation while making them full but not unnatural. they feel super soft to the touch and very comfortable. this formula is not waterproof but I don’t find that it flakes or smudges. It’s just a really beautiful formula. Lastly is my favorite drugstore option, the L’Oreal Lash Paradise, this is a Too faced Better Than Sex dupe but I think it’s better because it’s less than half the price!
These products are super easy to find these really are my everyday makeup products, I have bought time and time again! Checkout my post on the makeup brushes I use!
