My Everyday Makeup

11:00


On a day-to-day basis, I always get questions about what kind of makeup products I use. I thought maybe it would be better to share the products I use everyday here. These eight products are considered to be my Holy Grail products as I have found the best products that work well with my skin type.


Let's start off with the base first. I have been using Clinique's Beyond Perfecting 2-in-1 Foundation and Concealer for about a year now. I only use this product as a concealer and for my under-eye circles. I personally like the thick consistency of the product as it allows me use less of the product. I rarely wear foundation all over my face as I find the application of it very time-consuming, therefore I have opted to just use it as a concealer under my eyes and blend the crap out of it so it looks more natural. 


To set my concealer I like to use a pressed powder. At the moment I am using Pur Minerals pressed powder as it was gifted to me. I usually don't splurge on pressed powders; I prefer use drugstore powders such as Covergirl's Oil protection pressed powder as it's more in my budget.


If there's one thing I love doing, it has to be contouring! Normally when I am in a rush I tend to skip this step, however as of lately I have been contouring my cheekbones. Sometimes I do my nose, but I mainly like to focus on my cheekbones and occasionally my jawline as I want to sharpen these features the most. Kat Von D's Shade Light palette has been the contouring palette I've been using for a while and I absolutely love it as it works well with my skin tone.


Whenever I do my eye makeup, it feels incomplete without eyeshadow. For my everyday look I don't go crazy with colours and usually stick to neutral colours that I can quickly apply. I love NYX eyeshadows, especially this campaign one which is in the shade: Silk. Eyeshadow helps to brighten up my eyes.


Eyeliner is life. I love eyeliner as it's a way for me to get creative with my makeup without going too crazy. Normally I like to wing out my eyeliner as it helps open up my eyes more. The eyeliner I have been using and am very loyal to is L'Oreal's Lineur Intense Brush Tip Liquid Eyeliner. As for Mascara, I use L'Oreal's Shocking Telescopic Mascara as it adds a lot more length and volume to my lashes.


After applying my eyeliner and before I apply my mascara, I have to curl my eyelashes. There is nothing special about my eyelash curler as I bought it from a store called Funk n' Frost for eight dollars. I've never came across any problems with this curler as it gets the job done.


As of lately I have been really into matte lipsticks. Currently I have been wearing "Cathedral" by Kat Von D. If you haven't noticed yet, I love Kat Von D's makeup line, especially it's edgy packaging. Sometimes matte lipsticks can dry out my lips, so there are days where I just wear lip balm to give my lips a break.

I hope that the products I use on a daily basis inspire you all to incorporate them into your beauty regimens. Also, as some of these products can be considered to be on the pricey side do not worry! There are many Drugstore dupes that are as equally effective at a more affordable price range.
