This is going to be my first entry on make-up and I’m kind of
excited to share with you guys my everyday make-up routine.
I don’t usually wear any make-up on daily basis, unless I’m
going to run some errands or going to pick-up my kids from school. So when I
have to wear make-up, I usually opt for BB because it is lightweight formula
and doesn’t clog my pores or cause acne. Most importantly it easily blends into
my skin and give a natural flawless look in less than one minute. To be frank, I’m
still very much inspired by Korean celebrities’ looks and I’m not a foundation
person. I actually own lots of mostly Korean BB creams and only 2 foundations ^^
If I want to have more coverage, I will use my beloved Laura Mercier Oil-Free
Tinted Moisturizes. Having to say this, I’m going to try few foundations in
near future so we’ll see how it goes…
Ok, let’s get started with my routine . . .
If I’m going to wear make-up on that day, I will skip most
serums on my skincare
and go straight to apply only moisturizer and sunblock. Then I
start with base from Laneige Water
Supreme Primer Base SPF 15 PA+ in green (which suppose to neutralize any redness
on my skin). It’s important to prime my face prior applying any BB cream/
tinted moisturizer/ foundation because it’s not only help my make-up last longer but most importantly it
helps to protect my skin from hash chemicals found in any make-up products. For
everyday make-up, I’ve been alternating between Skin79 Super+ BB Cream in Hot
Pink and Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream No.21. I prefer to use my hand when it
comes to applying BB cream. For blemishes or hyperpigmentation I use Make Up For Ever Full Coverage in Ivory 6 with a Sigma Concealer-F70 brush.
For under eye concealer I use Max Factor
MasterTouch Pen in Ivory 303 and blend with my ring fingers. Depending on
my mood of that day, sometimes I would skip powder just to give the Korean natural
glow finishing on my face. Or else I dust Tarte Smooth Operator Micronized Clay Finishing Powder with Sigma Large
Powder – F30 brush only on my T-zone area
where my face tends to get oily easily (leaving my cheeks with the glowy
effect from the BB Cream). I don’t usually contour my face on everyday basis. Recently
I’ve been obsessed with Bobby Brown’s cream
blush Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Pale Pink 11 (I got to know this
product after watching Lisa Eldridge’s tutorial video. She’s actually one of my
favourite MUA). I usually apply and blend the cream blush with my fingers. I wish
I have full eyebrows but sadly I don’t. So I can never leave the house without
filling my brows (it’s a must-do step in my routine. I can skip my mascara,
blusher or eyeshadow but I can never forget my eyebrow). To fill in my brows
I’ve been using Lioele Artist Auto Brown
Dark Brown. For eyes I usually just curl my lashes with my Shu Uemura
eyelash curler and apply my Max Factor Clumpy
Defy in Black. For lips I keep
it very simple and easy and I just apply the same product that I use for my
cheeks, Bobby Brown Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Pale Pink 11 and call it a
day.
If I have a bit more time I’ll brush a single eyeshadow colour on.
My eyes’ need a primer because they’re always oily. I use Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Portion base and apply it with my
fingers. I then take a Sigma Eye Shading-E55 brush and sweep Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Bikini-Tini (it’s a pink nude gold in colour
which is just nice for instant brightening for my tired eyes) all over the lid
and blend it a bit into the crease. I then take Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Stray
Dog and apply to the brow bone with Sigma Blending E-25 brush to give some
depth to my eyes. With the same brush, I smudge the left over eyeshadow on my
lower lash line and blend to give a little smokey eyes look. For everyday
eyeliner I prefer to use brown colour for softer look. So I usually use YSL Eye Pencil No.6 Hazelnut Brown then
curl lashes and apply mascara as stated above. And if I still want a super
glowy look I’ll add a bit of Benefit
High Beam on tops of my cheek bones, bridge of my nose and a bit on the
forehead with my fingers. I then set everything with Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray, leave for few seconds and the
blot away the excess water with tissue paper.
That's it... a fuss free and easy make-up for a busy mummy like me ^^
Love, Shantz
