Everyday makeup!

Hey lovely people! It's finally letting my use photos (yay!!) so I thought I'd do my everyday make up routine type post. Just going to apologise in advance for the weird looking hair as it was wet in the first few photos haha.
 
As you can see I have very red cheeks and a number of spots. I get acne around my chin area. These are like the 2 main reasons I started wearing foundation. 1. My cheeks were really red and it was embarrassing and 2. It was the start of my teenage spots.

 Here, I have applied my face make up. Primer, foundation, concealer and powder.

 This is after I applied my eye make up as well.

 Then this is when my hair had dried as well haha.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I apply the L'oreal Studio Secrets Professional Anti-Redness primer using my hands then apply and Avon SuperShock gel eyeliner onto my water line while I'm waiting for it to dry. I apply 2 layers of the eyeliner and then use the ELF concealer brush (small black one below) to press Urban Decay eyeshadow in Zero on top of it to make it stay on longer. I then squirt 1 pump of the L'oreal Infallible foundation in 15 porcelain onto the back of my hand, dot it around my face then used the Real Techniques buffing brush to blend it in.
 
 I then dab the Collection (2000) Lasting Perfection concealer in 1 Fair onto problem areas like spots and one of my cheeks has more pigmentation in than the other so I dab a bit onto there.
 
I then use the Real Techniques stippling brush to stipple that in. I take the ELF powder brush, swirl it around in the Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder in 001 Transparent and press that all over my face. I then just add mascara. I used the Maybelline One by One Volume Express mascara in black. I really love this one as it adds volume and length into my lashes.

These are my essential/holy grail products. I don't really do much more than I have said unless it's a special occasion. This is really simple and takes me only 10 minutes or less which is really handy when you don't have loads of time to get ready in the morning like me. (unless you want to wake up super early!) Also, being in school means I don't wear any fancy lipstick or eyeshadow as the official school policy is 'subtle' make up but then again, I wouldn't really call mine subtle haha. Nobody has ever said anything to me though so perhaps they think I look better with it? haha.  

Thanks for reading!

What's your essential products?
