My Daily Makeup Routine (Weekdays)

Today I'm just posting the products that I use each day on my face. I know it seems like a lot for young skin (or so people say, I don't know!) but it truly isn't. Also, I'm very careful to remove all traces of makeup and I ensure that my face looks natural and not cakey (I hate the cakey look...) Also, we're not really supposed to wear makeup i my school, and I've only occaisionally been asked to take mine off, which shows that generally it looks natural :) It's only when I go overboard on mascara that I have to take it off haha! 


Here is an overview of the products I use. I'll go into further details of colours/how I use them below, but for now I'll just list them! (Left to right, back row-front) - Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick, MAC Beauty Powder, Rimmel Lasting Finish 16hr Foundation, Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam, Rimmel Fix&Perfect Pro Primer, Natural Collection Loose Powder, Natural Collection LashCurl Mascara, Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara, Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara in Extreme Black, MAC Lipglass, Natural Collection Concealer Stick and Studio Eyeliner. 
I'll start with face products since this is what I use first. After moisturising, I use the Rimmel Fix&Perfect Pro Primer in shade 002, which is just plain white, all over my face. I then apply either the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation in shade 100 (Ivory) or the Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam Foundation in shade 10 (Ivory). However, since the weather is getting warmer, if my skin is looking okay, I just move straight onto the next step! I apply my Natural Collection Concealer stick (which is not the image above, sorry), in the shade Nude, to any blemishes I have on my face. I then use the 2True 3 in 1 Concealer in the lightest shade (Sorry, can't remember the number!) under my eyes and on my cheeks to reduce redness. After this I apply the Natural collection Loose Powder in Neutral Transluscent to set my foundation, and finish with MAC's Beauty Powder in Too Chic on my cheeks to highlight.
My eyes are quite simple. I use the Studio Whiter Than White Eyeliner on the inner corner of my eyes to make them look wider and brighter, and then curl my eyelashes. After, I apply a mixture of the three mascaras above until I have the desired effect.
Finally I use the Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Spotlight Beige. This is very moisturising and you probably don't need a lipgloss, but I apply the MAC Lipglass in Possum Nose Pink just to finish off the whole look.


I hope you enjoyed this blog! Stay beautiful girls,
