These are my go-to products that I’ve been using everyday, literally everyday!
Primer: first thing is first, prime the face with a little bit of coconut water. Not only do I love to drink coconut water but I love that this Hangover Rx 3-in-1 primer has coconut water to hydrate before applying any makeup to my face. Whenever I’m feeling tired, or perhaps I happen not to get enough sleep I use this wonderful product that makes my face come alive. It refreshes my skin giving it an all over radiant glow. You can use it to prime, set and refresh through the day!
Foundation: I love medium coverage foundations and although it says it’s full coverage it goes on like a medium coverage foundation. I’ve been loving Nars all day luminous weightless foundation. It makes my skin look radiant, glowing and silky so it’s definitely a hit! I wear it in the color Barcelona which is a has golden and peachy undertones. I love how it wears throughout the day so it’s a must. You must shake it really really well when you first get it to mix the foundation really well and once it’s completely mixed it will be slightly runny because it’s so lightweight.
Concealer: When it comes to concealers, I like for them to have more of a full coverage to cover any blemishes or for dark under eyes. I use Nars Radiant Creamy concealer is medium to full coverage. I use the color custard which is a yellow tone for a light to medium complexion. It works wonders on my skin and I absolutely love this concealer. I usually blend it out with a buffing brush and then follow up with the Beauty Blender to make sure it is well melted into my skin.
Setting Powder: I love to use my Laura Mercier translucent setting powder to set my concealer to prevent any creasing or any area that might get oily throughout the day. It makes the skin look so smooth and velvety. (this product is a must if you apply concealer on any area of the face).
Beauty Blender: This beauty blender is my favorite to blend in any foundation and concealer. I love this sponge because it is so flexible and squishy once it’s damp. This beauty blender prevents any blotchy spots when I apply my foundation, or to melt the concealer with the foundation together to eliminate harsh lines. I need this all day everyday!
Cheeks: Yes yes I know, I love Nars! I can’t help it. My favorite at the moment is the Nars blush in the shade orgasm. It’s a subtle shade of peachy pink tones with gold shimmer, so it’s perfect when I’m tan and when I’m not. I also add my Hoola by Benefit bronzer on the hollows of my cheeks to add some warmth. I’ve used other bronzers too but this one is great if you don’t want any shimmer in your bronzer.
Brows: To fill in the brows I use the Ka-brow the shade number 4. This gel pomade is buildable which is great for “no makeup” makeup look but also for a full face makeup look. This shade is a medium to dark brown (neutral cool). Then I use Precisely, My Brow pencil to define and sharpen my arch also in the shade number 4. I really like how these wear throughout the day and they last without smudging.
Eyes: I usually keep the eyes pretty simple with some bronzer in the crease and some winged liner by Wet & Wild. (Currently searching for a new super matte black liner but this one works perfectly for me). The applicator is a felt tip which makes it easy to apply if you’re not comfortable with a brush tip. Add a touch of my Too Faced “better than sex” mascara, maybe some false lashes and I’m good to go! This time around I tried the waterproof “better than sex” and I must say that once it goes on it stays on!
Lippies: Lately my everyday lipstick has been this bare Minerals lipstick in the shade Honeybun. I absolutely love this lipstick! It was my first time ever trying their lipsticks and I must say that they go on really really smooth. The texture feels amazing, it’s so buttery and smooth. It almost as if I am wearing a tinted chapstick but it’s not! So it lasts longer for sure. I’m a sucker for neutrals and this shade is a perfect nude for my skin tone.
That’s pretty much sums it all for my everyday makeup look. I may switch a lipstick or bronzer every now and then, but I have every product I use in my shop in case you want to know what else I alternate with.
