hey hey heyyyyy!
How are we all? Today I thought that I'd share with you my current everyday make-up routine, seeing as I haven't done one of these in a while, and i've changed a few things up! Obviously, I don't wear this every single day because I wear less makeup for school. As for weekends and holidays, I like to experiment with my eye makeup and obviously switch up the lip a bit, so i can't guarantee it's like this all the time, but this is what i generally wear (the skin makeup doesn't really change however). Hope you enjoy xxx
SKIN
Nivea light moisturising day cream - £3.95 I think
Mario Badescu rose water spray - £7
Maybelline Baby Skin primer - £7.99 I think
Soap and Glory Hocus Focus Illuminator - £10?
Benefit Dew the Hoola - (came in gift set)
Maybelline fit me concealer - £6 something
Collection lasting perfection concealer - £4.19
Rimmel lasting finish pot concealer - £5.99
Rimmer translucent powder - £4
Nyx contour stick - £10
Benefit hoola bronzer - £24
Urban Decay beacher bronzer - £20
The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer (of course!) - £19
After moisturising and priming, i apply the liquid illuminator with a duo-fibre brush onto my cheekbones and in my inner corners of my eyes. I then apply the liquid bronzer in the hollows of my cheeks, and any left over onto my forehead. I blend this with a damp beauty blender. I apply a small dab of the rimmel pot concealer under my eyes as a base (for extra coverage) and blend with my finger. I then put 2 dots of the maybelline fit me under each eye, along with one dot of the collection conealer, blending this out with the beauty blender also. I set with powder (and apply a little more of the pot concealer on top if necessary). I draw a line under each cheekbone with the contour stick and also apply it on my jaw and forehead. I set the subtle contour with benefit hoola on my zoeva luxe sheer check brush, and then bronze with the urban decay bronzer and the real techniques blush brush. I apply higlighter with my zoeva fan brush to my cheekbones, inner corners, cupid's bow and the tip of my nose.
EYES
Soap and Glory Brow archery (dark chocolate) - £10
Nyx brow mascara (brunette) - £5.50
Benefit stay don't stray eye primer - (gift set)
Zoeva nude spectrum palette - £24 ish
Benefit they're real tinted lash primer - (mini size)
Benefit roller lash mascara - £19
Maybelline colossal mascara - £6 ish
If you'd like a brow routine I can certainly do that! As for the eyeshadow i mix the pale brown with the warm toned brown from the zoeva palette and run those through my crease with a zoeva soft definer brush i think. I then pack the bronzey-shimmery shade in the very centre of the palette onto the outer half of my lid with the zoeva smoky shader brush and also pack the champagney-shimmery shade in the top left corner of the palette onto the inner half of my lid with the same brush. I blend all of this with a sigma E40 brush, and define the outer v further with that warm brown that i used in the crease. I smudge a few of these shades onto my lower lash line to tie it all together.
LIPS
I really couldn't decide which lipstick i wear most (apart from velvet teddy, but I mention it in almost every makeup post!), so I have some options:
Nyx Lip Lingery - push up
Chanel rouge coco shine - boy (54)
Charlotte Tilbury - bitch perfect or very victoria
To complete the makeup, I spritz my face once again with the mario badescu rose water spray!
Speak to you soon,
Georgia xoxo
UPDATE - I've run out of primer and I want to try out a different one, but I'm stuck for which one to go for! So pleaseeee can you give me any recommendations (drugstore please), it would be much apprieciated! xxx
