The best way to describe my make up routine is simple, and same goes for my knowledge about it. I never really have figured out how to use eye liner and while I wore eyeshadow for years, one could probably argue the same for that one. I mostly always want to keep it simple and find my products at places like Target, the drugstore, or the grocery store beauty section. Get my skin looking more even and fresh, fill in my brows, and throw on some mascara. Bold lipstick is my favorite way to step it up a bit!
FACE
I’m not entirely sure that I notice a huge difference when I use the NYX marshmellow primer but it was a fun find and it does smell really good. I’ll keep using it until I run out then decide if it’s worth replacing. A BB cream is my preferred way to go these days because it’s so light and natural that I can use it literally any day. To work in the office, remote work, and even before heading to my kid’s soccer game on the weekends without feeling overdone. This one with SPF has worked well! When I want a little more coverage, this tinted serum is what I grab. TikTok got me with this one – I saw it, was influenced, and tracked it down! Then for my cheeks I go with a little bit of this gel blush. I naturally flush really easily so I don’t use much of this at all, but it’s good for a little color.
EYES
If there’s only one thing I’ll take the time to do it’s my eyebrows. It’s just that one thing that takes one minute but makes me feel so much more together! With all the brow products available out there though, I still just can’t fall in love with anything other than a brow powder. This e.l.f. kit does the trick and you really can’t beat the $4 price tag. For lashes, I’m currently using this one from Covergirl for the first time but L’Oreal lash paradise has been in the rotation for a long time.
LIPS
Now here is where I really enjoy make up, the fun lipsticks! I’m getting to the point where I have a pretty large collection and my two favorite lines I keep coming back to are L’Oreal’s infallible matte lip crayon and Maybelline’s super stay ink crayon lipstick. They are just the best!
