My simple Daily Make-up Routine

My every day make up routine is so simple to do that I just knew it had to be a post on my blog. When I have a lecture at 9am and I'm rushing about at 8.30 trying to get ready, I need something quick and easy that still looks pretty! I am really happy with my make up routine at the moment and I think that it combines a good mix of products- showing how I like a variety of different brands of make up- especially at the moment when I keep finding so many amazing products from loads of different brands that I would normally not usually go for! 

L'oreal's True match foundation in "golden ivory" is my current favourite foundation. I prefer liquid foundation to any other as I feel it gives a much more dewy, healthy finish to the skin. I love this foundation as it doesn't make your face looked caked in make up but still gives a good coverage. The colour is also good for my pale skin tone, as I usually find it hard to get a foundation that doesn't make my skin look orange but this one does the trick! 

On my cheeks I use Benefit's "coralista" blush. I have loved this product for a good couple of years now and  it's definitely going to be making another appearance on my Christmas list this year! The peachy pink tones are gorg but my favourite thing about this blush is the subtle shimmer that runs through it, adding a bit of depth to your complexion.
 (I HATE the brush inside though.... not the softest of make up brushes!)


On my eyes I love to use my Urban Decay "naked pallette" I use this pallet  everyday  and it has colours for every occasion. I love shimmery eyeshadows so thats why I love this pallet. The colours are subtle and beautiful on the eye. Not the mention the fact that they all complement eachother! On a day to day basis, I tend to use "sin" all over my lid and "naked" in the crease to add some definition to the eye. This is my MUST have make up product at the moment and I would really recommend it. 
I like to use this Rimmel Exaggerate liquid eyeliner in
"001 black". The colour is intense and the product is very easy to apply and I find that it lasts all day. I am a big lover of liquid eye liners as I feel that they give your eyes so much more depth and definition, it makes me look so much more put together that if I went without. I apply this to my top lash line, I prefer just a thin line however it would be very easy to build up a much thicker line for a more dramatic look for a night out. 


The mascara I am loving at the moment is the Revlon Fabulash  Waterproof  mascara in  "01 Blackest Black".  I  find that the brush is the perfect size to create both length and volume. I have mascaras where the brush is too big as I find them so hard to use but this is prefect for me. I apply two coats to my top and bottom lashes to make my eyes look more awake. 
Lastly, on an everyday basis, I tend not to wear a bright lip even although I love pretty pink lipstick. I find that this Vaseline "Rosy Lips" balm is ideal for everyday. It provides a hint of pink to the lips and you can apply it easily without a mirror. This is good for me on an everyday basis as I don't have time to be constantly reapplying Lipstick and lipliner all day! Vaseline also has the added benefits of being cheap as chips and being great at keeping your lips conditioned and healthy.
