ending this week of beauty with my current makeup routine. i used to have oily skin, and i did everything i could to get that powdery matte finish. i used oil-free everything, blotted, and powdered my nose every chance i had. now my skin is sensitive, dry, and eczema-prone, and i'm doing everything i can to get that moisture back into my skin.
so i recently changed my tried and true routine, switching to a liquid foundation and limiting my use of powders.
here's the current:
face
**i also like revlon photoready color correcting primer
maybelline coverstick - yellow
**i usually use mary kay creme-to-powder foundation, i'm really liking this one from l'oreal.
**i normally use laura mercier foundation powder and love it. they changed their formula and were out of my color, so sephora recommended make up forever. i prefer laura mercier. has anyone tried the new formula?
***i only powder in the morning...no more touchups throughout the day unless absolutely necessary.
eyes
maybelline brow pencil - deep brown
anastasia beverly hills brow gel - caramel (forgot to put this in the picture)
anastasia beverly hills - she wears it well palette
anastasia beverly hills - want you to want me palette
maybelline gel eyeliner - blackest black
l'oreal voluminous mascara - blackest black
**i forgot to include a picture of the anastasia brow gel.
***love this mascara.
cheeks
milani baked bronzer - 06 golden
jordana blush - terra cotta
*this bronzer is too dark for me, but i'm using it up with a light hand.
lips
as for my lips, i use everything and anything. i have been loving avon ultra color lipsticks and would love to try YSL and tom ford.
finished face.

Nice to learn what skilled women like you do. I still flail hopelessly with beauty products. Makeup is far harder than it looks.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear make-up like I use to , but even now when I do put on make-up not sure why but it can take me up to an hour loll yep .. thanks for share @tisonlyme143
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a "routine" at all - I tend to neglect my beauty needs
ReplyDeleteOh very good products!
ReplyDeleteThanks for share sweetie~

I want Invite you to my Giveaway! For win a Dress, Blouse or a Bag~ The winner choose the prize!
To be honest, it takes me only about 5 minutes because I only use a brow pencil, mascara, and lip gloss/stain. I've always been super challenged with makeup artistry and I have no patience, SMH. Love your look!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing what makeups you use.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing great post
ReplyDeleteSo many beauty Products exists !!!! OMG. I never knew.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you use sun protection! A lot of people forget that. I can't believe your skin type changed so much by powdering and blotting.. I shall be more careful now.
ReplyDeleteAnd about your comment on my picture frames. The pictures are actually from a cooking magazine. They were so beautiful and inspirational that I had to hang them on my wall. :-)

Maybe 10 minutes
ReplyDeleteI hate when brands change their formulas. It's usually a lose. Glad you're trying different things. I think we all fall into a rut of using things over and over (accept for lipstick hahaha) and don't try new things. It takes me about 15 minutes.

You always look fabulous! My make-up routine is pretty simple as I don't wear a lot, mainly just to spruce up my eyes and add some colour. I'm usually done within 15 mins unless I'm wearing falsies and then it gets kinda tricky :P
ReplyDeleteAi @ Sakura Haruka
I might have to try that Elf primer! Looks good!
ReplyDeletewow, so many great products, my routine is pretty quick and easy, just use a bb cream or tinted moisturizer with spf
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this, I checked out the link for the brow gel. I've never tried laura mercier, or actually a lot of the products you mentioned. I have been using jafra since I was 13 years old. It's been right there for me through all of my skin changes over the years.
ReplyDeleteThe number one product that I think everyone should use is the Royal Jelly Milk Balm from jafra. It is sorta like water to the skin. People think I'm way younger than I am. I guess it's working. I have very dry skin and I use jafra's moisturizing makeup, then I lightly dust with their finishing powder to keep away the shine. Sometimes I use their other moisturizers, but more often than not, this is my routine, besides eye makeup. I was taught to never use maybelline or revlon because they have some sort of ingredient that ages the skin faster, but that might have changed.
