My Updated Everyday Makeup Routine









It's been a full year (and a day) since I last blogged about my makeup routine, so I thought it would be a good time to update you all on all the products Ive been using. Some haven't changed, but Ive actually been using a lot of different products lately and brands that I haven't in the past. Keep in mind I have oily to combo skin, so most of these products are for that skin type! 

Before I get started, It's important to know that in order for your makeup to look good, you need to first make sure you're taking care of you skin. Washing it twice a day with a gentle cleanser, moisturizing and protecting your skin. I can do a full post on my skin care routine if that's something you all would like to see. 

Now onto the fun stuff... 

Face
 My primer + foundation routine has completely changed from the last makeup post I did. I use Makeup Forever Ultra HD Foundation because it was developed for the TV and film industry (I work in broadcasting so I need good on camera makeup). I typically apply my foundation with a beauty blender to create a flawless, natural looking face. For primer I use Diorskin Forever and Ever and I don't think I'll use another primer again!

Under Eyes
For the under eyes I've been using this concealer. It is the best concealer I've ever used and has a lot of pigment, so a little goes a long way and it is super brightening! I blend mine with a damp beauty blender then set it with this translucent powder.

Contour/Bronzer 
I recently switched to Marc Jacobs O!Mega Bronzer Perfect Tan and it is so beautiful. It is natural looking and great for carving out your cheeks and adding color to the skin. It's a little on the pricier side but you get so much product that to me, it's worth the splurge. 

Blush
This is the blush that came in Sephora's birthday gift this year and it's a great color for anytime of the year. It goes on smooth and lasts all day. It's in the shade "Paaarty".

Mascara 
I have been using this mascara since it came out and I haven't put it down! I think it's the best mascara there is, a must-have mascara! I always keep a drugstore mascara on hand to use as a second coat on my lashes. I usually go for anything Covergirl. 

Eyebrows
The term "on fleek" is how I want my brows to look. That's why I use this brow definer (in the shade Chocolate). I outline underneath my brows and then fill in the rest, using the brush on the end of the pencil to brush out the hairs.

Finishing 
The last thing I do is set my face with another powder and setting spray. This powder is another product that's great for television or anything on-camera related. I wear the shade Medium! I also use a face setting spray from time to time, I really recommend this one. 

My makeup routine is the most frequently asked question I get on Instagram, so maybe I should start sharing about it more?! Let me know what you all think! I would to do more beauty posts like these.
