Whats in your every day makeup routine

I need some suggestions for everyday makeup. I like to look glowy and natural. I dont care if its drugatore or highend i just want products that last a while since i want to use them everyday. Products I'm looking for are: primer, a single eyeshadow that i can use alone, bronzer, highlighter, finishing spray and mascera. I have everything else.

MAC stroblite before your foundation , use your blush bronzer and highlighter for your eyeshadow or Smashbox Bone. Laura Geller highlighters are the best. Or Becca. Bronzer I like The Chanel Soliel one or Too Faced chocolate. Finishing spray I use rose water. And if you like a wet mascara I love Target lights camera action. If you like a dry mascara, the new smashbox one is great.

I use the too faced hangover, clarins sos green, or tatcha silk canvas if im using a primer. otherwise i go in with the pacifica alight multi mineral bb cream (beautiful glowy light finish) and mix some laura mercier tinted moisturizer with it and apply to face with my fingers. then i take the rms uncover up concealer underneath my eyes and on blemishes. i then go in with the milk makeup lip and cheek stick in quickie and either the well people bronzer stick or the milk makeup bronzer stick in baked. i set all of that with the rms uncover up translucent powder or the too faced born this way translucent powder. i then go over the cream bronzer with the physicians formula butter bronzer or the benefit hoola bronzer. i take the rms living luminizer, becca champagne pop shimmering skin perfector, becca liquid opal shimmering skin perfector, or the LUSH looking younger highlight and apply wherever you wanna look glowy. i sometimes fill in my eyebrows with the elf instant brow lift (i have naturally full brows) or brush them up and set them with the covergirl clump crusher mascara in black brown (weird ik but it works well!) or ill just set them with the Anastasia Beverly Hills clear brow gel. i curl my lashes and apply one or two coats of my favorite mascara the maybelline colossal waterproof mascara in black and wait for that to dry and sometimes apply the mary kay ultimate mascara on top and bottom. 

for eyeshadow i recommend the mally evercolor shadow stick extra in burnished bronze, or the kiko arctic holiday glacial eyeshadow stick 02 ombretto effetto fresco. both are very pretty and last all day. 

lips: i LOVE the sugar spice fresh tinted lip treatment with the fenty beauty gloss bomb in fussy. the Flesh lipstick in the shade hungry is very nice as well. (moisturizing and great natural color)

i don't use finishing spray. 

hope this helps!

RE: Whats in your every day makeup routine

What do you need out of a primer? I always look for hydration v matte Bc of my combo skin but, Smash Box Photo Finish Hydration was always clutch. I've since found that the Urban Decay Makeup Prep works amazing well! Throw that on before the foundation and I'm good! I've been using Hello Fab's Triple Protection Skin Tint as of recent for my everyday foundation. Photo finish lash primer is a personal fave and a new tool in my kit is Makeup Forever's Excessive Lash. Truly delivers on the length and volume. Setting Spray: Urban Decay's All nighter is everything and or Makeup Forever's Mist & Fix. Highlighter/Bronzer: I've found success w/ Rimmel London's baked bronzer and NYX's highlighters both compact and liquid. They are easy to blend.

Re: Whats in your every day makeup routine

I always over sleep so I have 2 minutes or less to apply makeup. I use Benefit under-eye concealer, gel-pencil liner on top lash line smudged out, black mascara, ABH brow definer, and a nude lip color. Foundation, blush, and eyeshadow only about half the time. A mild lip color and minimal eye make up wake up my face without looking too made up for everyday wear. 

Re: Whats in your every day makeup routine

My go-to face is SO easy! Concealer when needed, Highlighter: Colourpop "Wisp" or Milk Makeup's holographic stick blended with my finger into my cheekbones and browbones, Eyebrows: Eyeko Fat Brow, Mascara: Milk Makeup Ubame mascara, Lip: Tarte LipSurgence Lip tint in a reddish color or any red/pink/orange lipstick I have diffused out on my lips with my finger to create a blotted/natural look. Literally takes me 5mins and I look awake and fresh!

Re: Whats in your every day makeup routine

Primer: Currently, I've been using the YSL Touché Eclat Ur primer. But I bought that off Poshmark so I could try before committing the $$. But I love it! And it's a huge bottle and you really only need a half pump to get the areas in which makeup tends to come off.

 

For eyeshadow, I use my bronzer and highlighter. More efficient, and it maintains a seamless look overall so there is no color conflicts! Really looks natural and lovely! Just a bit of highlight in the center of the lid and inner corners. I also like to loosely line the bottom of my eyelids with it too to brighten.

 

If you like cream bronzer-- highly highly recommend to use the Milk Matte Bronzer. I use the shade Baked. To blend, I use a stipple brush from IT Cosmetics. It's SO blendable and fool proof. If you prefer powder-- I've heard that the Chocolate Soleil from Two Faced is good or I like Kevin Aucoin myself. ( I paid some $$$ but I really like it).

 

I don't use finishing spray. 

 

And for mascara I was using Benefit They're Real mascara but recently switched to Dior Iconic Curl mascara. I thought the Benefit formula was drying up too quickly and it stopped looking as good as the day I first got it after just a month of using it. I actually like the curved brush shape of the Dior and love the formula. My routine is basic AF. And I stick to natural everyday stuff! Good luck!!!

Re: Whats in your every day makeup routine

This is my go to summertime fast and natural look:

 

1. Pixi Glowtion Day Dew mixed with a tiny bit of Jouviance Color Booster to give a lightly sunkissed look (evens out skin tone too!), very glowy but not glittery

2. e.l.f. Soft & Subtle palette includes bronzer, highlighter and two blushes

3. L'Oreal Double Extend tubing mascara (primer on one end, mascara on the other) or Wet 'n' Wild Mega Length mascara

4. Wet 'n' Wild Setting Spray

Re: Whats in your every day makeup routine

I'm a big fan of IT Cosmetics CC Cream.  Covers well, feels like I nothing on my skin, doesn't dry out or cake, includes primer, and contains my SPF - how much simpler can that be?

I like to keep my every day look simple and natural, so I use Tarte's matte eyeshadow palette, and IT Cosmetics Trimline mascara.

If I need extra longevity in my makeup look for a longer day (or an evening out), I like Benefit Cosmetics Porefessional primer, and to lock it all in, I use Urban Decay's All Nighter setting spray.

RE: Whats in your every day makeup routine

The more I learn about makeup, the more I keep things simple and look for the most natural finish. First of all, I have large pores and easily clogged skin, so my priority is to keep it clear. For that reason I will only use liquid/creamy foundation to big events such as weddings etc. In any other cases I feel the most comfortable with powder foundation, and it's so easy to remove! (ps. My skin is combination) My routine goes like this: - I use my treatments such as serums etc - moisturize with the Hada Labo gokujyun lotion (with powder foundation you always have to moisturize) and wait for it to dry. - fill the gaps in my brows with the ABH brow wiz - carve my brows with The Brow Gal matte highlighter pencil (you could just use concealer, I use this cause it came in my allure box) - apply primer in the areas where my pores are larger / Makeup Forever Smoothing primer - apply concealer with the eco tools sponge / Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer (the only one that works for me, but I'm hunting one with fuller coverage) - apply Mac Studio Fix Powder Foundation with a dense short hair brush - apply blush/bronzer/highlighter and a lipstick or gloss. I rarely use eyeshadow looks but when I do, I use my modern renaissance palette.

Re: Whats in your every day makeup routine

Hi darling! I am new here in this community... So excited though! 

My everyday make up routine is very simple, first a lot of moisturiser (I have dry skin), I currently use embryolisse let it set a bit, then it's spf. I found a really natural brand that I am really loving at the moment, it's called Raw Elements. It's really good! I feel it really protects my skin from the sun and won't give me a weird reaction as it is made with really natural ingredients. (ok sorry that belongs to the sensitive skin group...). Then I use my trusty Nars blush in G-spot, and a bit of highlight on my cheekbones. I use daily my very loved concealer from Rms beauty the uncovered one and it's a very glowy and natural concealer (I LOVE IT)! If I need to conceal a bit more I use the Vichy derma blend foundation, It's a super heavy coverage, but I use it as a concealer. I got this tip from Lisa Eldridge videos, and I do her pin point technique to conceal. I also use any eyebrow gel I can get my hands on and also just curl my lashes. And that's it, a very natural look! (oh and if it's a bit hot, I powder on my T zone with Rimmel Stay matte)

Re: Whats in your every day makeup routine

I'm a teacher, so I keep my make up as natural: primer, concealer, foundation, setting powder, and a bit of bronzer. Mascara if I'm feeling it too.

RE: Whats in your every day makeup routine

Double whatever bronzer u get as an eyeshadow. Thats what I do for everyday. 😏

Re: Whats in your every day makeup routine

my daily makeup routine is eyeshadow (casual for day),highlighter,blush eyeliner,top and bottom, and bronzer. Lipstick of course after.

RE: Whats in your every day makeup routine

My recommendations: Primer: either Becca Backlight, for a more radiant complexion, or First Light Priming Filter, for a brightened complexion Bronzer/Eyeshadow: Milk Makeup Baked Bronzer, it's easily applicable as a Bronzer but using it on the eye is great for a simple easy eye Mascara: L'Oreal Lash Paradise is currently my favorite of all mascaras Highlighter: Glossier Haloscope, lovely, glowy, dewy

Re: Whats in your every day makeup routine

For highlighter, I agree with the recommendation below for RMS. I have both Living Luminizer and Champagne Rose Luminizer from the brand, but I find myself using Champagne Rose more often. 

 

For single eyeshadow, I love eyeshadow sticks by Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown. Just swipe some on your eyelid, use your finger to blend, and you're done.

 

My favorite mascara in the world is Guerlain Maxilash. 

 

For bronzer, I alternate between one from Burberry that I redeemed as a point perk last year and the Lilah B. one that Sephora generously gifted me. 

RE: Whats in your every day makeup routine

Best daily highlight EVERRR is the RMS living luminizer. I use it daily, I've gone through 3 containers! It's the most beautiful, natural glow 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Re: Whats in your every day makeup routine

I usually start with the tarte bb cream and i mix it with the brighter days moisturizer from tarte and that adds a amazing glow to the skin then i take an hourglass blush and then use the marc jacobs big bornzer and use it on my cheeks the i use benifit gimme brow and then use a mac paint pot in vintage selection all over my lid then  i use benifit roller lash which is AMAZING and finish it off with the tarts lip quench rescue in the color nude

Re: Whats in your every day makeup routine

Primer: I have tried all the top primers and I've yet to find one I really like. My makeup seems to slide off more with them than without. My SPF moisturizer (Paula's Choice) contains silicone, so I call that good enough.

 

Eyeshadow: This isn't a single, but I use it alone multiple times a week: Funny Girl from the Tartelette In Bloom palette.

 

Bronzer: I have used Physician's Formula Bronze Booster for years.

Highlighter: I like the Becca liquid highlighter in Moonstone and Opal. A little goes a long way, so I get the travel size.

 

Finishing spray: I am addicted to Urban Decay All Nighter Spray.

 

Mascara: Maybelline Full and Soft is my go-to. It is non-waterproof but long-lasting and non-irritating. No clumps.

RE: Whats in your every day makeup routine

Here's what I'll do every day if I have the time: Ill start by washing my face and putting on a moisturizer(I use the Clinique even better one) Then I apply a little bit of the porefessional primer from benefit (12$ for the smallest size) on my nose, T zone and checks. After that I use the tarte shape tape concealer to conceal my dark circles and any blemishes (29$ I think) this is seriously the best concealer i highly recommend it. After concealer I go right on to bronzer, I use the hoola lite bronzer from benefit it's something like 28$ and is great for paler people, if ur tanner I suggest getting the normal hoola bronzer. I put this on my cheeks, jaw and temples to give my face some color. After bronzer I take the cream cheek and lip tint by Ashley Tisdale from her line illuminate at bh cosmetics, this stuff is amazing it was only 8$ and I love it. Except they don't have it at Sephora so I got it from Ulta Beauty. After blush I use my color pop super shock highlighter in "Lunch Money" on my cheeks, nose, Cupid's bow and on the inner corners of my eyes. I love this stuff I got it for only 3$ with a discount code (normally 8$) on their website and it has a creamy sort of formula, i think color pup is also going to be coming to Sephora. After highlight I take my gimme brow by benefit brow gel and brush that through my brows, this is 21$ I believe and is amazing if you have light eyebrows like me. After brows I'll go in with my Clinique Charcoal brown eyeliner, I'm not sure how much this was or if it's still available but I'll just put that on my lower water line. Then i take my too faced better then sex mascara and put it on my top and bottom lashes(30$). After that I take my nude sugar lip treatment wish is amazing, it's not a lipstick it's much more moisturizing it's more like a tinted lip balm, I'm not sure how much it was though. And finally I set my face with the Mario Badescu Rose water. That's my whole routine but sometimes do more or less it depends on what I'm doing that day.

Re: Whats in your every day makeup routine

Hi Foreverkey23: 

 

Here's what works for me: 

 

Primer: I either use my moisturizer/serum as a primer (double duty and decreases the amount of product on your face/time spent in the morning) or I add Marc Jacobs primer because of the coconut oil. It depends on your type of skin- I have combination so I try to be very light on primers and am picky bc many of them just seem to add layers upon layers with your creams and then BB cream/foundation etc. 

 

Single eyeshadow: I'm obsessed with the Dior monos.. Try  "infinity"- great to just rub on with a finger and you're done and have a neutral shade that isn't boring. If you shop outside Sephora, Chanel's monos are pretty amazing too- they have a pink/peach tone that is fabulous. 

 

Bronzer: Nars Laguna (the new formula) or in summer I use Guerlain's four seasons in Blonde. Depending on your skintone there are other really beautiful all over powders I've found as of late that I've been using inste

ad of a bronzer- try Benefit's dandelion or Chanel's new all over powder. 

 

Highlighter: Marc Jacobs Dew Dops on the tops of my cheek bones (or mix in with primer or bb cream/foundation); love the Dior all over Highlighter with kabuki brush- super easy to blend. 

 

Finishing spray: At Sephora: Caudalie grape water spray is a great finishing spray, as is Amore Pacific's hydrating spray. TBH I've migrated away from those and use "Rose" by Jane Iridale as a finishing spray/ moisturizing spray or Sisley Rose hydrating toner spray. 

 

Mascara: At sephora- I'm really digging this purse size Urban Decay mascara- works so well. But My go-to is either Sisley mascara or ByTerry because they have nutritive properties and also extend and accentuate my lashes. 

 

Hope that helps!
