My Daily Makeup Routine

I’m definitely no beauty expert, but I like experimenting and trying new products. I’ve gotten some compliments on my makeup lately, so I asked on Instagram if I should share my daily routine. The result was 100% yes, and it’s actually perfect timing. Sephora, one of my favorite places to shop for beauty, is doing one of their Beauty Insider events this month. If you’re a VIB (like me!), you can save 20% this weekend (Nov. 9-12). And, if you’re a basic Beauty Insider, you can save 15% from Nov. 16-19. It’s free to join, so sign up now and bookmark your favorites!

These are the products I use on a daily basis:

  1. Smashbox Pore Minimizing Primer
  2. Beautyblender Bounce Foundation (applied with a Beautyblender sponge)
  3. iT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye Concealer
  4. NARS Blush (applied with Real Techniques brush)
  5. Urban Decay Anti-Shine setting spray
  6. Chanel Mascara
  7. Urban Decay Naked Smokey Palette (this one is on my wish list)
  8. NYX Proof It! Mascara Top Coat

A few notes: I’ve tried quite a few foundations over the years, and Beautyblender’s is by far my favorite. It’s incredibly blendable (fitting, right?!) and lightweight, and it makes my skin glow. I also really like the Urban Decay setting spray. It comes in a few different varieties, but the one I use is great if you’re prone to sweating. The Chanel mascara is my all-time favorite and worth the price tag. I like to wear it with the NYX top coat to prevent those dreaded raccoon eyes. These are the products I use for my weekday routine. On the weekend, I’ll amp up the eyeshadow and add some eyeliner. I also have a few lipsticks I love, but for weekdays, I tend to just wear tinted Chapstick. I’ll be sharing a fun time-lapse video on Instagram of how I apply everything, so be sure to check it out! Let me know if you have any questions about these products.

P.S. Make sure to vote today! If you need to know more about the people and issues on your ballot, theSkimm can help!
