My Everyday Makeup Routine

These are the products I use in my everyday makeup routine.  I LOVE makeup and have tried a lot in my life.  All of the following products have been in my routine for some time now...

My base makeup consists of Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Makeup (my shade is ‘Pebble’), I love that it stays in place all day and has SPF 10.  This foundation gives great coverage without feeling cakey. I use Clarins Instant Concealer (in 01) to brighten my under eye area and although this product is a little more expensive, it lasts forever! I also use Rimmel’s Wake Me Up Concealer on any blemishes and around my nose.  I then set my base with the Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting PressedPowder (in ‘Translucent’) for even more staying power.

For my eyes, I have been loving Benefit’s ‘Gimme Brow’ (in Light/Medium) it is the quickest way to define your brows and I can do it half asleep with a toddler hanging off one leg! I then use my Urban Decay Naked Palette, you can see I’ve hit pan on the colour ‘Sin’ and I also love ‘Virgin’ and ‘Toasted’ for everyday makeup.  As it is January, my eyes need a little more than just eyeshadow so I have been using Rimmel’s Exaggerate Liquid Eye Liner for a little bit of winged liner and Bobbi Brown Mascara.

For my blush and contouring I have been favouring a bright, shimmery pink Bella Bamba and my old friend Hoola (I’ve been using this for 12 years now!) from my Benefit Sweet Cheeky Spot Palette.

For lips I have been using Benefit’s tinted ‘Benebalm’.  My lips get dry during the winter months so for everyday makeup I favour a tinted balm over lipstick.

These are my latest everyday products, if anyone can recommend a really smooth applying liquid liner please let me know. :-)
