My Current Makeup Routine - Holiday Edition

 

                   

                       

                  

Current Makeup favorites - It's Glam Month (AKA the holidays)!

I normally change up my makeup based on the month/time of the year. When the holidays roll around along with the cooler months, I switch it up for a more glamorous look!

#1. Primer: || This is a must for me. I have oily skin so primer helps create a smooth, secure canvas. My go-to lately is the e.I.f powerless primer. It helps fill in the imperfections while keeping the oil at a minimum. 

#2. Foundation: || My go-to, holy grail is Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation [shade "Tawny"] *on sale*. This foundation is SOO good! It makes your skin look flawless. I've gotten so many friends hooked on this foundation - friends with oily skin and dry (it's seriously the BEST)! Recently I've been trying THIS ONE and really loving it! I actually find myself using it 50% of the time which is HUGE!

#3. Eyeshadow:|| Okay, the Crystal Whips Shimmering Liquid Eye Shadow by TooFaced in [shade "pop the bubbly"] is my JAM! I've been using this for months now. I get SO many compliments on it. It's not too much glitter and will definitely make you feel like the bomb.com! I then go in with Natasha Denona - Mini Nude Eyeshadow Palette in shade "Quoin" for my crease. I will then layer on top shade " Sienna" for a touch of shimmer. In the corner of my eye and right below my brow I will use shade " Lumino" to brighten and add a lifting effect to my brows. 

#4. Concealer:|| Lets start with the fact that I've tried A LOT of concealers due to having the most sensitive under eyes there ever was. Most concealers will immediately start either burning my under eyes or make them feel so dry that my eyes water. THIS concealer by Too Faced is one of the only ones that actually feels good on the skin under my eye but also brightens and hides any creases. A little goes a long way with this concealer!

After I've blended in the concealer with my Beauty Blender, I go in with my Dermablend Illuminating Banana Powder. I use the same beauty blender to set my under eyes. I use a brush to wipe the access powder. 

#5. Bronzer: || So I have two favorite bronzers - well I actually use both. Based on preference, one has a shimmer added to it and the other is just a plain bronzer. I love them together for the "wow" effect. This  Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Matte Bronzer is my new obsession! It's huge and will last you a while but a little goes a long way! The pigment is beautiful and perfect for the winter months. Now, for my OG, the Two Faced Chocolate Gold Soleil Bronzer. I've used this bronzer since college. It's the bronzer that gets everyone hooked! It gives off this beautiful shimmer and almost makes your skin look porcelain. Oh my, it's my absolute favorite!

I will then go back in with my Dermablend Illuminating Banana Powder to clean up under my eyes/ under my cheekbones (jawline)/ and on the sides of my nose. This helps give that contour look without going overboard. 

#6. Blush: || My absolute favorite that is full of pigment (so you don't need a lot) is this satin blush by Beauty Counter in shade "Sorbet". The color is absolutely stunning, and did I mention it's a clean beauty product?! I've recently started trying this blush by Bobbie Brown, in shade "Sand Pink - medium sandy pink" which is very similar to the Beauty Counter Satin Blush. 

#7. Eyes: || I will then go in with THIS Fenty Beauty Eyeliner on my top lids and finish it off with this AMAZING Volumizing Mascara by IT Cosmetics. If I'm wanting to make my eyes pop, I will add THIS liner to my bottom lash line! If you have blue/green eyes, it will make them even more noticeable. 

#8. Lips: || I'm always on the hunt for a good gloss. I have discussed this in stories, but I always have to have something on my lips! The combo I get the most questions about is this Charlotte Tilbury lip liner paired with this Milani Keep It Full Nourishing Lip Plumper in shade "Pink Quartz". This lip gloss was a hit this past summer. I wore it to a pool day with the girls and every single one of them immediately hopped online to buy it!
