my exact makeup routine
ALSO let’s just get one thing straight here- I am in NO WAY a makeup expert lol. i barely wear any at all and when I do I like to keep it soooo minimal. So with that being said……
SKIN PREP:
1.) first we are washing our face with the tatcha rice wash $40
2.) moisturize with the tatcha dewy cream. It’s expensive, I know. BUT your skin will never look more dewy and plump. I’m serious $72.00
3.) magic cream. we double up on hydration for our face so our skin doesn’t look cakey!! and this one is perfect and preps your skin for makeup $100 (it comes in various sizes so you can get a cheaper one for a smaller size!!)
4.) primer. this one is soooo glowy and has a little shimer in it so if that’s your look then this is the product for you!! $55
ALL ABOUT THAT FACE
5.) the flawless filter. i love her. she’s not a full coverage foundation but she has enough where she blends your skin. she’s lightweight and glowy and she is a must have for me!! $49 (it also comes in a mini size for $19 if you just wanted to try!!)
6.) concealer!! this one is super light. i just dab a little under my eyes and then use a beauty blender! $30 (also comes in mini size for $15)
7.) i use this pressed powder. not kidding when i tell you there will not be a single pore on your face. i use those triangle spongey things (I’ll link) and press it under my eyes, my forehead, cheeks, chin, nose. flawless $32
8.) this has been my go-to powder bronzer since I was a senior in college… that’s how much I love it $36
9.) i use this on my cheek bones and forehead and then I also put it on my eyelids for a super bronzed look!! I use this mostly in the summer or over my milk chocolate bronzer!! I use the sephora brush to blend and it’s so easy $26
10.) I am obsessed with this lil stick. I use it for blush on my cheek bones and nose and then I also put it on my eyelids for a pop of color!! I use it for lipstick too hehe it truly does it all $24
10a) putting this as step 10 too because it’s another blush. If I’m not using the milk stick I am using this baby!! she’s reallyyyy pigmented though so just use a tiny bit and blend with your fingers. the prettiest colors!! $23
11.) i just recently discovered the power of highlighter and I am obsessed. it gives you just that little bit of shimmer when touched by the sun or the right lighting and I LOVE it!! just sprinkle a little of this on your cheekbones and nose :) $35
12.) this is my secret weapon in the summer!! freckles :) trust me $28
EYEEEEES ON ME
13.) this step isn’t always included because I really only wear eyeshadow for special occasions. But if I’m going to wear it…. this is the one. it’s so creamy and beautiful and i just put it on with my finger!! $35
14.) okay you guys I’m sorry this is not sold at Sephora but I didn’t want you to wonder why I wasn’t posting a mascara!! It’s thrive and it’s the only mascara I will ever wear… I love it THAT much
Link here $26
15.) eyebrows!!! i love this refy gel because it comes with a bristle brush too. it does come out a little white just an FYI but i just pat it in to my eyebrows and then it’s perf!! it literally makes it look like you just got your brows laminated $24
LIPS 💋
16.) Pillow talk Lip Cheat in Pink Nude. You will never need another lip liner $25
17a) if it is a lipstick night- I am wearing the matching pillow talk lipstick $35
17b) if it is a gloss night- this one has got you covered. gloss and plumper all in one. i get shade primrose or mixed berries $26
17c) this. literally butter on your lips it’s so smooth. i get either the vanilla (clear), pink sugar (light pink tint), sweet mint (clear and taste like orbit sweet mint gum LOL), or brown sugar (brown tint) $24
AAAAND TO FINISH
18.) this finishing spray. it keeps everything in place literally forever (guilty of sleeping in my makeup one too many times and still wake up with it perfectly intact) $38
And there you have it!! those are all of my makeup faves that I use when wearing makeup :) hope you have an amazing Friday!!!
