My Makeup Routine

My makeup routine is very very basic. I usually do a very natural look so I can have a very bold lip and have all the attention there. I am very sorry about the color balance on all these pictures, my walls are yellow and throws everything off. The last picture, however, is in more natural lighting and more true to colors. Lets get started!

Step One:

Fresh face, my favorite face wash Clean & Clear Morning Burst.

Step Two:

First, I used my Lorac POREfection Mattifying Face Primer, then sponged on Maybelline Dream BB Cream in Medium.

Step Three:

Conceal, highlight and contour. I don't always contour and highlight, even when I do its not this heavy, I usually use a lighter shade for contouring, but I was feeling the need to be dramatic. Also, I sometimes do this step before the BB. I used BH Cosm. 10 Camouflage and Concealer Palette, which I do not recommend.

Step Four:

Blended it all out and set with Revlon's Nearly Naked Powder in Medium (or Medium/Dark) Then sprayed on Urban Decay's De-slick.

Step Five:

Eyebrows done with a little bit of Taupe eyeshadow from the Lorac Pro palette brushed into them. Lower lash line lightly lined with  Smoke by UD and mascara is L'oreal Miss Manga in blackest black. That mascara is one of THE BEST mascaras I have used. 

Step Six:

Realize your yellow walls threw off the color balance and go take selfies in natural light. Taken without glasses because the glare made me look like an anime character. So much makeup just to look like I'm wearing none.
