Everyday Make Up Routine

Everyday Make Up Routine //

Any girl who says she's not had those days when she doesn't put effort into how she looks is lying. But any girl who says she also doesn't have days when she wants to turn heads is also lying! This make up look I use is quick and easy, and what I do everyday for College. It's the perfect middle point between going overboard and not making any effort!
STEP 1:
I take my Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in the lightest colour Porcelain. I have very pale skin and this matches perfectly, so would really recommend this same colour for pale, red haired people. I use a pea sized pump on my hand and apply onto my face using the Real Techniques Pointed Foundation Brush. It's a flat brush and good for applying face make up. I find this brush too flat and small to use to blend my foundation in, so use the Real Techniques Contour Brush to blend. The brushes are labelled, but you can choose how you use them to suit you. The labels are just suggestions. 

STEP 2: I then use my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in the colour Light. Using the applicator I dab it under eyes. I then use my ring finger to begin blending it in. The ring finger is the best to use, as it moves less, so does not pull the sensitive skin underneath your eyes. I use my Real Techniques Contour Brush to finish the job off. I'm devoted to this concealer and everyone i know recommends it. It's thick, but not cakey and covers dark circles/blueness quite well.

STEP 3:
After I have the base of my face, I head in with my eye make up. For this I use w7 LashTastic Mascara. I brought this mascara from a drugstore around a year ago for £1.99 and have gone through at least 3 bottles since then. One coat makes your lashes look 10 times longer and darker. It's cheap, comes in a cool, bright yellow bottle, easy to use and does a great job for everyday and night use. 

I have very light eyebrows, so found it  hard deciding how to darken them. I settled on using NYC Eye/Brow Pencil in their lightest colour Taupe. This colour just really suites me eyebrows. The pencil is very long, so lasts a while. It does the job and was so cheap, I didn't bother searching round to see if there was anything better, I just stroke the pencil lightly over my brows, till they are the colour I want them to be.

I sometimes use eyeliner and the one I have found the nicest is the Collection Extreme Felt Tip Liner. The black colour comes out dark, unlike some eyeliners that say they are black and then come out like brown :/ It lasts so long, which was the most important thing for me when buying it. I wanted an eye liner that lasted through out the school day and this one does the job.

STEP 4:
Finally I apply Sleek Blusher in  Rose Gold. This colour is very subtle and perfect for Autumn and Winter. It's a middle tone pink with gold flecks, hence the name. Sleek blushers are very pigmented and the perfect size for price. Granted, they are slightly more expensive than some other blushers, but I feel they're worth it. To go on top of my face make up I then apply Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Pink Blossom. I originally wanted the Transparent one, as I just wanted a powder to hold my make up. Unfortunately that one was out of stock, so I went for the next colour, that is slightly pink toned. It is still a lovely powder, makes your finished make up look matte and holds make up in place for the day/night. I know most people use this powder and I've never heard any bad reviews.

So there you have it guys, my everyday make up routine! I hope you enjoyed it! Check out my last post, as I talk about my morning routine. Have a great end to the weekend and I'll be back soon :) Bye, Niamh x
