My current make up favorites/routine

The world of make up is so much fun to me! The different shades, the new techniques to use, the new products, the amazing dupes, and of course the magic it can do like cover those dark hug circles with concealer and make you look well rested! I am subscribed to a handful of beauty guru's on Youtube and Instagram that I love following because that is really where I get basically all of my make up or beauty recommendations. So if your a makeup addict or lover like I am, I wanted to share my current favorite make up products that I use and my makeup routine! So let's get started!

I always moisturize my face first with Clinque's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion it just leaves my skin so soft and smooth and my face feels hydrated all day, I love it! I've been using this since high school and will probably use this my whole life lol.

Then I start with Liquid Foundation. In all honesty I don't really have one that I've been using for years. I think foundation is one of those makeup products that I just love trying different ones and if its affordable and I just happen to see it first at the store I buy it haha. So as of a couples months I've been using Loreal True Match Lumi in the shade nude beige. My mom was actually the one who gifted this to me and I have loved it since! I feel like it gives great coverage, doesn't make you look cakey and lasts basically all day . It's my current favorite foundation and only costs $7.79 (at Target)

Just like foundation, I switch between concealers, not because I can't find the right one but because I love trying new brands. What I've been loving recently is Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Concealer in the shade Fair or Ivory depending on the season. This is one of my magic items that truly does what it suppose to do and truly hides those blemishes and dark circles, and as a momma it's considered a holy grail item; if you hide how tired you look/are. One item that I've been using for years and years is BareMinerals Original Foundation in the shade Light 08. The powder foundation is so light and you truly feel like your wearing nothing! It stays on the whole day and even though it $22 it lasts several months and is definitely worth the price!

Eye shadow palettes I think are almost the most funnest part of a makeup routine! They're literally hundreds of different shades and you can really make one heck of a creative beauty eye look. I tend to stick to more neutral palettes, so as of right now I've been loving is NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette  in the Warm Neutrals Palette. It has the perfect mix of light shades and dark shades to create the perfect smokey look! And right now its on sell for $13 instead of $18!

My highlighter that I love love love using is  Aspyn Ovard's Collab with Pixi by Petra Powder Highlighter ! This has lasted me such a long time and pretty sure I'm never switching because its gives the perfect amount of shine to make your skin look beautifully glowy and radiant!  As for my Blush I'm loving Milani Baked Blush in the shade Luminoso. I love this shade because it really add the perfect amount of shade to your cheeks and adds such a pretty shade of pink!
I then use Maybelline's Eye Studio Master Precise Eyeliner in Black and then for my mascara I use Rimmel London's ScandalEyes Volume Waterproof Mascara in Black, and its only $5.49!
Now last but not least if I remember I finish my look with E.L.F Mist & Set spray which helps keep everything in place and another reason why I love using it is that it wakes me up!

I change my make up look/routine every couple of months and love love love finding out about new makeup products! So if you have any recommendation on products or brands you love using that comment below! I love these kind of posts and really plan on doing more, so stay tuned, and happy weekend!
