My Everyday Makeup Routine

Whoops, I haven't posted for a while because I just completely forgot! I've decided to show you all my usual make up routine that I do every day (unless I'm not going anywhere...). I know people usually do these as a Youtube video buuuut 1) I'm not going to show my bare face (don't want to scare you all!) 2) I have no idea how to edit videos 3) I have an annoying voice 4) I don't have a tripod for my camera..
So, here we go....

1) Well firstly I wash my face or use a make up wipe just to make sure get off all the make up from the last time I wore it. I then use the Garnier Moisture Match Moisturiser in Dry-Very Dry Skin, I only recently got this but so far, so good! I have quite dry skin, so using just a primer and not a moisturiser was way too drying and so the foundation didn't look as 'flawless'.

2) Next, I use the Garnier 5 Second Perfect Blur Primer. This primer has the weirdest texture but works so well! I wouldn't say it actually 'blurs' your face but I keeps my foundation on all day so does the job i'd like a primer to do.

3) I then use the YSL Touche Eclat in shade 2 which is a liiiitle bit too light but I find it doesn't really matter that much as I just use it as an under eye concealer and a under brow highlighter. I dot the Touche Eclat a few times under my eye and blend it in with my finger. I do the same on my brow bone.

4) To set the concealer I use the Natural Collection Loose Powder in Cool Translucent. I use this with a large eyeshadow brush and pat it on top of the concealer just so it won't come off during the day.

5) The foundation I have been using for the last couple of weeks is the Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation in shade 48 - Sun Beige. I don't actually think they sell this in shops anymore but I got mine online at fragrancedirect.com. It's basically a liquid foundation that's been set in a pot, it's describes as 'solid-to-liquid, ultra-smooth and hydrating' which I completely agree with! I use my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush with this foundation which I absolutely love (much better for foundation than the Real Techniques Stippling Brush!) 

6) To set all of my foundation I use Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder in 004 Sandstorm with my Real Techniques Powder Brush. I'm on my 3rd pot of this powder and it's my favourite! It hides the shine of the foundation really well and hides visible pores well.

7) Next, I use Bourjois Paris Bronzing Primer for contouring (yes..I know it's meant for priming buuuut..) and I use this with a angled brush. I contour my cheek bones just so I don't look dead! It's so blendable (is that even a word) and such a good colour, not orange or too dark at all! I swear by this product, I love it! Another upside is the smell, it smells like chocolate and is aaaamazing, smells good enough to eat!

8) The next product I use is the YSL Quad Blush with my Real Techniques Blush Brush which like the other Real Technique brushes are super soft! The blusher is a lovely dark plum colour, 1 shade has a shimmer, the other is matte.

9) The mascaras I have recently been using are the Rimmel Lash Accelerator, then the Magnifibres Brush on False Lashes, then the Rimmel mascara again. I have a video demo/tutorial of this on my Instagram (@studdedpetals). The magnifibres is basically a mascara wand with white fluffy bits that stick to the mascara and extend your lashes a lot! It completely looks like 'brush on false lashes'.

10) My go to eyeliner is the Lancome Le Crayon Khol Noir pencil. I am terrible at eyeliner so a liquid is out of the question, even with this pencil, it usually just ends up as a black blur..

11) My last step is the product I have been most exited for! The Maybelline Babylips have just been released in the UK a few weeks ago and I love them! I have 4 of them and the one I use most is the Hydrate Babylips. It does as it says, it hydrates! These are by far the best lip balms I have used and them smell great!

Hope you enjoyed reading!
