Everyday makeup routine!

It's been four long years of High School and it's finally coming to an end. Hearing that loud buzzing alarm every day, contemplating with myself if I should get up or not... wasting even more time. Always arriving late to my classroom...Every second counts in the morning. But, after a while you get the hang of it. Getting ready in just ten minutes? Easy. After a lot of practice it can be done in a blink of an eye.
Simple is the way to go.My routine consists of

1. ALWAYS and ALWAYS my face lotion, I use Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Lotion. It's perfect for dry skin! I've been religiously using this for five years.




2. Ofcourse FOUNDATION or BB cream! I'm in love with my Mac Matchmaster Foundation. I just slap on one pump of it and use my hands for easy and quick application. Another perk is it has SPF 15! I'm looking out for a great BB cream for the summer, so I'll tell you guys when I find anything!






3) My new favorite eye shadow palette... NAKED BASICS! I adore all the amazing quality matte shadows. I love the natural, neutral colors. It's fantastic for an everyday look. All i do is sweep walk of shame all over the lids, then blend faint all through the crease. For highlight i use venus, the only shimmery color.




4) Eyeliner is key to define your eyes. I think this is the only time consuming part but, if you keep doing it you'll be able to do it in your sleep. I've been using Kat Von D's tattoo liquid eyeliner the past two weeks and I'm simply amazed. I just wing it out just a bit and there.. perfect. It does not smudge or get crusty whatsoever. Especially for my asian monolids it's arduous to really search for a great eyeliner but this pen like liner is the best. NO SMUDGE NO CRUST EYELINER! I adore it.



5) Next, I use my black pencil eyeliner from Charlotte Ronson and quickly glide it on my waterline. This part is unnecessary however, I love to do it because it just defines the eyes a bit more. Whenever I do this I feel like it completes the look.





6) Then I curl my lashes and put on my waterproof falsies mascara from Maybelline. I heard from youtube that Maybelline has the best mascaras and tried out falsies which I think is stunning. It really thickens the lashes and makes them look like you have false lashes extending your lashes twice the size.



7) I use my foundation again and lightly tap it on my under eyes using my ring finger. No concealer needed, just double up on your foundation.


8) Time to set it all by using my powder from Diorskin Forever Compact Flawless Perfection Fusion Wear. It has SPF 25 which is always a plus. I fluff the product all over my face to make sure that the foundation stays on as long as possible.



9) Finally, blush to make sure i still have some life in my face. I've been using my Maybelline bouncy blush in in pink frosting. Just a nice flush on pink on the apples of my cheeks gives a cute flirty vibe. A lot of people say that this blush was not that pigmented but I like the amount of color that came off.




THERE FINALLY my daily routine is finished. Although there are nine steps, it goes by quick and ten minutes is just enough to finish. Hopefully this helped you tweak your everyday routine for school so you can run out the door without rushing!
