My Daily Beauty routine:

 

I start with washing my face with my electronic clearisonic Mia brush (Found at ULTA) I really like this product because it takes away all of my make-up better than any other makeup wipe, while simaltaniously exfoliating and getting rid of any dead skin. My next step is to moisturize my face with Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion to hydrate and prepare my skin for the day. I then recommend to use a foundation primer, they help even my skin tone and help my make up to stay on all day without smudging or sweating off.

 

After I have prepared my face my next step is to use a BB cream, since I rarely get blemishes or red spots, I don’t like caking on a lot of foundation. My favorite choice is ULTA’s Illuminating BB Cream; it doesn’t have much cover, but leaves your skin moisturized with a fresh dewy tint. I have always had dark circles under my eyes, I don’t know what causes it, and there have been little products that have helped me cover it up. However, I have found that after applying a pink tinted cream concealer followed by a peach tinted loose powder ( I like e.l.f.’s under eye powder) it helps my concealer stay in place and brightens up my bags. After this process I start to quickly contour my face using a contouring brush and a bronzer a few shades darker than my skin tone.  And finish with a soft touch of blush followed by an illuminator serum; my favorite is Benefit High beam.

 

And lastly, I finish up with my eyes. I usually use a soft neutral beige for all over my eye and then a deep bronze in my crease and blend it out softly. I then brighten it up a bit by using a highlighter just below my brow, and on the inside corners of my eyes. Any light color will do! (White, champagne, peach, or gold). After this I thinly line my eyes with Maybelline’s Eye Studio Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner and top it of with a skinny wing on the end to elongate my eyes. I found that this product dries out a lot but if you use it on your hand first it will push some ink out, just be careful the line doesn’t come out too thick! After this I usually apply two or three coats of mascara, letting them dry in between. And the final touch is my brows. This is my ultimate favorite beauty secret and if I could only do one thing to my face, this would be it! I believe that brows create a finished look and help frame your face. Something to remember; the outside of your brows should always be the darkest part of your eyebrows. Another great trick if your brows come out a little too dark, just add illuminating serum and comb out with an eyebrow brush!

 

I know it sounds like a lot, but once you learn how to do it it will only take up to 20 minutes!
