My ‘everyday makeup routine’ changes frequently, but this look and these products seem to be the ones I gravitate towards the most. It’s like my fall-back, my safe place; you know what I mean. We all have that go-to look that we can do in five minutes before dashing out the door.
This is my “get ready quick” routine! If you want to know how I do it, keep on reading!
Lately I’ve been skipping over the foundation, and reaching for my Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer in Light Warm, and applying it in all the places that I would typically highlight; under the eyes, the forehead, the nose (center and sides), cupids bow, chin, and any blemishes, and then blending it out with a damp Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. This concealer does set rather quickly, so I recommend a damp sponge or the beautyblender, and working quickly.
Next, with my Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour Kit in Fair, I use the lightest contour shade, Mink, and apply that first with my fingers right below the cheekbones, and along the temples up to my forehead, before blending it out with a Real Techniques Sculpting Brush. Once all of my cream products are in place, I use Lyric (the banana shade) from the Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette to set any concealer on a Morphe M438 brush, and Makeup Geek Contour Powder in Break Up to set the contour areas with an e.l.f. Studio Angled Blush Brush, using whatever is leftover on the brush and lightly running it down the sides of my nose. With a Real Techniques Blush Brush, I applied a little bit of ULTA Cheek Color in the shade Girlie (no longer available), a very soft, cool toned pink.
For the eyes, I picked up that same Makeup Geek Contour Powder in Break Up on a Morphe MB23 brush (a great dupe of the Sigma E40, by the way), and dusted that into the crease, just to bring back a little dimension, popped a little MAC Nylon into the inner corners with a Morphe E36, and apply a couple coats of Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies Mascara in Blackest Black. Then I filled in my brows with NYX Micro Brow in Ash Brown, and set them with Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel.
Finally, I lined and filled in my lips with NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Peek-a-boo Natural, and slightly over-lined them. I chose to leave them alone after that, though you could always apply a neutral or nude lip over the top if you want to.
So here’s the completed look! Something that’s quick, easy, and totally appropriate for work, school, whatever you’d like!
