Everyday Makeup ; Summer Edition

This summer, I've grown more fond of makeup for some weird reason... It could have something to do with buying The core collection real technique's brushes (Review coming soon).

They're amazing, and well , being my first brushes i own, i was kind of super excited to use them for everything! hence, wearing more make up!

After so much experimenting, i finally found a nice daily routine that still looks like a "natural no make up " look.


First off, i start with Moisturiser and a Lip Balm, to literally .. moisturise my face. haha

L'oreal Triple Active Day Moisturiser 

Burt's Bee's lip balm

I wait a few minutes for the moisturiser to dry, and then apply a little bit of the BB cream, and then a little bit of the True Match Foundation. i do this on somedays when i want extra coverage.

Usually though, i just go with wearing the BB cream. (review soon!)

I love using the Real Techniques "Buffing brush" for applying both, it blends them soooo well!

All-In-One BB Cream in 03.

L'oreal True Match in N7 Amber.

I then apply the L'Oreal Concealer using the Real Techniques "Pointed Foundation" brush. my under eye circles are so dark, so if anyone has a solution i'd love to hear it!

L'Oreal True Match concealer 

I like using both, Soap & Glory and Bare Minerals,  just because i use the soap and glory more as a highlighter, in the upper part of my cheek bones, and on the bridge of my nose, and i use the bare minerals on the lower part of my cheeks, (the fleshy bit under your bone when you smile). 

I love the soap and glory, but i just feel like i need a bit of pink on my cheeks sometimes.

Review of the soap and glory here

I use my sephora Blush brush No 4 to apply the Bare minerals 

and Real Techniques Contour brush to apply the soap and glory.

Bare Minerals Blush in "The French Kiss"

For mascara , I'm loving this one by L'oreal.

I don't wear it every every day, but on the better days, i do.

L'oreal Volume Million Lashes

For lips, I'm loving the Revlon Colour Burst in the colour "Vivacious"

Everyday Natural Makeup look

So, i'm kind of known for keeping my makeup SUPER simple..

especially, with the fact that I've only properly started with makeup a few months ago

and thats why, i like to keep it SUPER NATURAL looking! i hate looking like i have anything on!

Maybelline FIT concealer

Benefit Tinted moisturiser 

Rimmel mascara 

bareMinerals blush in "The French kiss" 

Blush brush by Sephora "49"

I love those 2 lipstick shades so much, because they don't make me look like i have anything on, like the colours are so close to my lips, it kind of just makes my lips look a little redder and healthier, with a shine, but without making it seem like i have anything on.. i love lipsticks in natural to my lip colour shades.

MAC Lipstick in "Plumful"

YSL rouge pur couture 9' "305" 

They both feel kind of the same, but i think i prefer the mac one, it has a yummier smell!

On some days, i like to just have a lip balm, so these are my favourite!

EOS Lipbalm in strawberry

Body Shop Lipbalm in strawberry

Thank you! tell me what you wear <3
