My Everyday Makeup June 23, 2014
Morning babes!
I’ve had a few people ask about what’s in my makeup bag lately, so I thought I would share with you my daily makeup routine. I love knowing what other women use and what they like/don’t like. Maybe that makes me nosey, but I promise it’s with good intentions!
I switch up my makeup pretty frequently because I’m always finding new products to replace my current ones. However, these have stuck around for a bit!
(Click the + to be brought to the exact product!)
Smashbox Photo Finish Primer: I go back and forth between this primer and Benefit’s Pore-Fessional primer. I’m liking this one a little more right now, but I can’t exactly tell you why! It’s just good!
Makeup Forever Mat Velvet Foundation: Perfect for the summer time, this foundation keeps me shine-free. Goes on light but with good coverage!
Bobbi Brown Bronzer: My favorite high end bronzer that I recently snagged on sale. But when I’m not using this, I use the Bahama Mama Bronzer below.
theBalm Bahama Mama Bronzer: The downside of this bronzer is you lose a lot of it when you dab your brush, and the color can also heavy. A little goes a loooong way with this stuff, but, with a light hand, the color is perfect for contouring or for anyone with olive-toned skin.
Too Faced Primed and Poreless Powder: My mom introduced me to this stuff, and I love it! It helps combat shine and also fills in your pores for a flawless finish.
Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer: I’ve mentioned this stuff countless times on the blog, and I will continue to do so because I’m quite convinced I’ll never find a better concealer. I have AWFUL dark circles, and this stuff completely covers them up like a dream!
Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow in Bone: Bobbi Brown products are so natural looking and beautiful. This color is the perfect flesh tone.
L’Oreal Infalliable Gel Liner: Best. Liner. Ever. I’ve actually discussed this liner with makeup artists and they agree it’s better than some of the high end liners!
Clinique All About Eyeshadow Quad in Spicy (old): This quad is from forever ago, so I’m not sure they even carry this color anymore. But Clinique’s eyeshadows are some of my favorite and well-priced as well. I use the darkest brown to go over my liner, which softens the look. I explain my eye makeup tutorial here!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz: This is my current favorite for my brows. I feel like this product is the one that changes the most frequently in my makeup bag. Once I run out of this bad boy, I plan on trying Anastasia’s DipBrow.
Smashbox Photo Op Eye Brightening Mascara: Another product that changes frequently, but I’ve been enjoying this one for quite some time now ever since receiving a sample. However, I’m dying to try that YouNique line!
What are some of your current favorites? I’m open to suggestions for some product replacements, so tell me something good! Also, has anyone tried the YouNique mascara? Give me your thoughts if you have! 🙂

I have younique! It’s pretty good but you have to be super careful or your lashes look like spiders! Lol

I’m loving Dr. Jart Black label BB right now. It’s one of those Korean skincare lines. It’s not for everyone but since I’m uber pale it’s right for me and it really makes my skin better! I’m trying their BB Mate contouring kit right now. I’m a fan of Clinique shadows too. I love Bad Gal lash mascara. My primer is Laura Mercier and I do sometimes use her Silk Cream foundation for fuller coverage. Her concealer is AMAZEBALLS.

I’ve heard great things about Laura Mercier! I don’t own anything by her, maybe I’ll pick up the concealer! Thanks for the recommendation! 🙂
