Primer...
First up, after my morning skincare routine, I apply a primer. I'm currently using Laura Mercier's radiance primer (an apparent favourite of the new Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle & I can see why!). It really gives you a glowy radiant base. You could possibly wear it on it's own.
I always feel you need a primer if you want your makeup to last all day & with this one it definitely does.
Base...
Next up, I apply a bit of peach colour corrector under my eyes from the Revolution colour corrector palette with a small concealer brush & blend with a mini real techniques eraser sponge.
Then it's foundation time! I'm currently using L'Oreal's True Match foundation in the shade Linen. (My shades tend to vary throughout the year) I use a Real Technique's expert face brush to buff this in.
After this, I pop some concealer under my eyes, around my nose & anywhere that needs a bit of concealing! I tend to use my favourite Maybelline eraser eye concealer in either 'light' or 'brightener'. I then of course blend this all in with my Real Technique's blending sponge.
Once my concealer is done, I set it with my Rimmel Insta Fix & Matte powder with a small Real Techniques setting brush.
Adding a bit of colour...
Now my base is set, it's time to brighten up my face a bit more with some bronzer, blush & highlighter.
My current bronzer to contour my face is by Bourjois which I apply with a bronzing blusher brush by, of course, Real Techniques.
For blusher & highlighter I use a variety but my current fave is from Sleek. It's their Face Form Contouring & Blush palette in the shade Fair. I use a Spectrum brush for my blusher & a small Real Techniques brush for my highlighter.
I pop my highlighter on the high points of my cheekbones, a little bit on my nose, chin & cupids bow.
Brows...
For my brows, I use my favourite Hi-Impact Brows brow powder & set them with any brow gel. My current one is by Browcote.
For everyday I tend to not use eyeshadow. Just some black eyeliner on my waterline (I really look odd without it!). I really love the Smokey Eye pencil by Rodial.
Then a few coats of mascara. A real fave is by Givenchy in the colour Black Taffeta (I also love Roller Lash by Benefit!). It is brilliant for giving both volume & length.
Lips...
Finally, a bit of lippie! So many to choose from, but a current newbie I've been reaching for is Half n' Half by MAC. A lovely nude.
So, that's my everyday makeup routine. What's yours?
