I have a bit of a confession…
I LOVE makeup! I rarely leave the house or even go a day without a full face of makeup on.
But, I always wanted to be one of those girls who was just naturally beautiful without wearing a ton of makeup. I even wish I felt comfortable and confident with just a little bit of makeup, like just some mascara + lipstick.
Admittedly, I am NOT that person. I’ve tried. I’ve tried no makeup. And I’ve tried minimal makeup.
But, I feel the most confident when I have a full face of makeup on.
And I’m finally ready to own that.
Yet, I would NEVER call myself an expert at makeup. Like most other things in my life, my daily makeup routine is extremely basic. I literally go in the same order with the same products every single day. There are no decisions to be made - just applying my “face” and calling it a day.
Do I think every woman should wear a full face of makeup every single day? Absolutely not! Some of my closest friends rarely wear makeup or are minimalists when it comes to makeup, and that works for them.
But, if you’re someone like me who enjoys makeup and feels your most confident wearing makeup every single day (even if that means putting it on before you head to the gym or to go run a race), then OWN IT! You do you, boo! You shouldn’t feel shamed for wanting to look and feel your best all the time - even if that means a face full of makeup.
So, without further ado, I’m sharing with you a much-requested makeup tutorial on how I do my makeup every single day. And when I saw every single day, I mean every. damn. day. Whether I don’t leave my house (which is most days) or if I’m putting on my Little Black Dress to head to a wedding or gala, my makeup is exactly the same.
If you want a brief overview of my makeup application process, check out the video below. And if you’re interested in getting some of the products I use specifically, I have them all linked for you below!
THE MAKEUP PRODUCTS I USE:
>> Thirty-One Makeup Bag - I freaking LOVE this makeup bag because it holds SO much, and there’s a liner in it so that you can wash it from time to time. I’m not sure Thirty-One actually makes it anymore, but I found one with a super cute pattern on ThreadUp!
>> Lash + Brow Enhancing Serum - If you struggle with short lashes or just want to give your lashes a little extra volume, I highly recommend this one! And it’s non-toxic too!
>> Beautycounter Skin Twin Foundation - So many colors to choose from! I add in 2 drops of Rejuveniqe Light oil to thin it out so it’s not cakey and acts as a tinted moisturizer.
>> Glow Milk Highlighter - I got this in my FabFitFun box a few months ago and I fell in love with it!
>> Tarte Eye Primer - This is not my favorite, but it’s the one I’m currently using. This just doesn’t keep my eyeshadow in place as much as some other ones that I’ve used in the past.
>> Covergirl Clean Professional Loose Powder - My favorite CHEAP loose powder. It works so so well to take away shine + smooth out + set my foundation.
>> Beautycounter Eyeshadow Palette - So, I bought this GIANT palette over 2 years ago and it has lasted me awhile. I only use 2 colors on it now, and I’ll be sad when it runs out. They used to have other eyeshadow palettes (this particular one was discontinued), but when I was looking up the links for this post, I couldn’t find any eyeshadows. Apparently, they are removing talc from all their products, so hopefully all the eyeshadows will be back soon!
>> Proof in the Pudding Eyeshadow Palette - Another FabFitFun box find that I love! Full of great neutral colors that you just fall in love with!
>> Beautycounter Color Outline Eyeliner Pencil - Smooths on so easily, I just don’t like that I have to sharpen it!
>> Covergirl Lashblast Volume Mascara Waterproof - If you curl your eyelashes and you want them to stay curl, USE WATERPROOF MASCARA! I’ve been using this since college (I’m 36) and I will not use any other kind!
>> Winky Luxe Eyebrow Pencil - And yet another FabFitFun box find, but you CAN get this at Target! There’s only ONE COLOR and it matches every shade of eyebrow!
>> Beautycounter Satin Powder Blush - I love Beautycounter makeup (obviously). And this lasts FOREVER.
>> Beautycounter Sheer Genius Lipstick - For when I’m not planning on going anywhere… OR
>> Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lipgloss - This stuff stays on like MAGIC! I mean, it takes a village to get it off and it is GORGEOUS.
>> Zoe Ayla Brushes - I am NOT a brush expert (or makeup expert for that matter) so I don’t even know the difference between brushes or what’s used for what. I just find some I like and use what works. The majority of my brushes I purchased from FabFitFun, but I found them online if you want to purchase them for yourself!
