Makeup routine!!!

After prepping my skin for makeup, this is the daily routine i use with either adding or using less products depending on the day, occasion or my mood. 

Yes i know i have a heck of a lot of makeup and yes i know i don't need anymore, but then i can't review new products for you guys. Makeup is a huge passion of mine, as long as my makeup looks good i feel good! I am going to take you into the order of how i do my makeup and briefly what there for. 

Primer - this is a base for under your foundation to increase it's longevity wear during the day, there are many different types of primers to suit your skin type.

Foundation - next apply your foundation which will apply smoother thanks to the primer, this is to even out your skin tone, once again there are different types of foundation, liquids, sticks, powders, all give different effects to the skin and skin type. 

Corrector - i use this under my foundation on my dark circles, they are a peachy colour to counteract the blue veins.

Concealer - i use a lighter shade under my eyes for more coverage and to highlight the area and my skin colour shade to cover any blemishes the foundation hasn't.   

Under eye setting power - this is to set the concealer under your eyes to stop it creasing throughout the day.

Powder - some people don't like to powder but i do to set everything down and hold it all in place. 

Contour - you can use bronzer for this but it has to be matte and a more cooler tone as you can see in the picture above. This is to create shadow anddimension to your face.

Bronzer - that is to basically warm up your face and give you that lovely summer bronze glow, i also take it down my neck to blend everything in.  

Blush - i like to apply mine to the top of the cheek as it looks more natural as it fades into the hairline. A pop of colour on the cheeks can make a world of difference. 

Highlighter - i use this to highlight the high points of your face, like your cheekbones, brow bone, nose and chin, you can get more subtle or blinding highlighters. 

Brows - there are many different ways to do yours brows, pencils, powders and pomades are my favourites, depends how natural or defined you want them. 

Eyeshadow primer - this is keep your eyeshadow on longer, stop them creasing and intensifying the colour. 

Eyeshadow - not everyone likes to wear eyeshadow but i love to and enjoy creating different looks with different palettes.

Liquid eyeliner - i feel this just defines my eye look more with a small or big cat flick.

Mascara - is one of the products that really does make a difference, opens up your eyes and gives you that length and volume that our natural lashes don't give us. 

Lipstick - any lip product i think just polishes off the look perfect, either matching it to your eyeshadow or blush or just going for an everyday nude.

Setting sprays - to me these are a life saver with someone with oily skin like myself, who likes to stay matte these just keep me looking matte and feeling refreshed all day.
