Make-Up routine

After daily skincare junk, these are the things I use if i choose to wear make-up ;)


I honestly think these lower-price alternatives are just as good as high-end makeup for regular use. (this is the order I put them on)



 FIT me by maybelline. This is the best foundation I've ever tried.
Target has the lowest price I've seen for it. I have dry skin, so it's difficult for me to even wear foundation with out looking crackley, but this suits my face better than anything else I've used. I'm not a tools girl, so I put a few dots of this on each part of my face (forehead, cheek, tip of nose, cheek, chin) and gently apply it with my fingertips in a patting sort of motion. You want it to remain on the surface of your skin.


I am NOT a Covergirl fan persay, but this is my favorite concealer. This does its job. I will probably never convert to another product. I apply it in an upside-down triangle under each eye, at the corners of the nose, and on any blemishes. I first dot it on then pat it on with my fingertips.



This is my MUST HAVE splurge. I will not wear eyeshadow or liner without it. I haven't tried any other high-end shadow primers because they don't have as good of a price, but I've tried a couple drug store primers and threw them away! Also pat this onto the eyelids with finger tips don't rub or smear!!


I'm not a bronzer girl, so this is the only powder I use. It's fantastic, and if I were you I would buy the elf one. It's just as good as the much, much MUCH pricier duplicates. I use any fluffy brush. I don't believe it matters for basic makeup application.


As far as eye shadows go... I like to splurge on urban decay shadows. I'm currently loving Cherry Bomb. by ulta I don't think a girl should buy the same eyeshadow twice though! This is something that goes along with the phrase, "variety is the spice of life"

 This stuff. I've tried many mascaras, but always come back to this. If you need anything "better" than this , you might as well wear false lashes because this is the best of the best. (: Some of the expensive fancy ones can match it, but the fact that this is so much cheaper obviously makes it a winner!!
This stuff. (lash extension) has a very similar look to the maybelline, but is about three times the price. The only upside to this is you can fall asleep in this stuff and it still looks good when you wake up!!!


I rarely wear lip color, but when I do, its usually lipbalm like Baby Lips!!
