Being continuously on-the-go means I barely have time to get ready in the morning. Therefore, I’ve spent the past few months perfecting my makeup routine to allow myself more time to myself in the mornings, which includes indulging in a hearty breakfast or even checking my agenda for the day. After much trial and error, I’ve gotten into the groove with my makeup routine. Here are some of the items I now consider my holy grail products when it comes to my everyday makeup look:
- Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation
-
With my skin tone, it took me years to find the perfect foundation match due to the lack of deeper shades available in the market back then. However, it is safe to say that ‘Deep Sand’ is the perfect match for me and definitely does the job. I especially like the fact that it is a full coverage foundation, since I’m out and about throughout the day and would rather not spend time touching up my makeup. An added bonus is that this foundation also has SPF, which is always important!
- NARS Creamy Concealer
-
Known as one of the best concealers in the beauty community, this concealer fails to disappoint. Its buildable coverage allows you to add extra coverage without making your makeup look cakey. Similar to Tarte, NARS also has a wide shade range to ensure that you’ll find the shade that suits you best.
- Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer
-
I am usually more of a lipstick fan but have recently noticed how they dry my lips out, especially during winter. Therefore, I started to use the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb, in the shade ‘Fenty Glow’ in particular, to add some color to my lips. I opted for a gloss that isn’t volumizing, as I already have pretty full lips. But if you are looking for a gloss that makes your lips appear much fuller, I would definitely check out Two Faced’s Lip Injection Plumping Lip Gloss.
- Glossier’s Lidstar
-
I usually like spending time mixing and blending various eyeshadow shades on my eyelids, but when I’m on a time crunch, I do a quick layer of Lidstar on my lids and I’m good to go. My favorite shade is Cub, which is a pretty rose gold color. With six different shades, you are sure to find one that you can incorporate into your everyday look.
- Benefit Cosmetics Gimmie Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
-
With full brows making a splash in the beauty community, it is crucial to find the perfect product to enhance them. Gimmie Brow+ ensures that your brows are filled and clearly defined. It also comes in a mini size, which is perfect to throw into your bag if you’re in a hurry.
I hope these products have piqued your curiosity and compel you to try them. With the best part of makeup being the experimentation, have fun trying out these new products!
