Hey guys, I hope you’re all doing well. So for today’s post I wanted to share my everyday makeup routine with you guys but I won’t be showing pictures of my face which means I’ll need to do a hell of a lot of explaining.

Makeup storage:
I keep all my makeup in a Ted Baker gift box that was gifted to me by my lovely friend (follow her Instagram). It makes everything easily accessible because it doesn't have a lid, drawer or zip so i can just grab the products without really having to open or remove anything. It also looks really cute on my bookcase!
Pre makeup routine:
So before I start doing my makeup I just wash my face, nothing extravagant, just plain and simple face washing. I then wash my real techniques beauty blender with dove cream beauty soap bar.
I use this one specifically because I’m allergic to a lot of others and when I try them my face swells up which isn’t fun. I make sure to wash my sponge every single time i do my makeup because when it’s wet it doesn’t absorb the foundation as much.
After I’ve washed my face and made sure my sponge is clean I moisturise my face with E45 - because once again I’m allergic to a lot of moisturisers - and I put Vaseline on my lips.
Now onto the actual makeup...
My Routine:
After I’ve moisturized I grab my foundation and apply one pump to my sponge.
The foundation I use is the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation
in the shade 103 true ivory. I will then blend that out by dabbing it in a downwards direction. The purpose of this is to make any hairs on your face lay flat, making them less visible. I have quite a bit of unwanted hair on my face i.e peach fuzz, the struggle is real!
After I have applied and blended my foundation I wait like 2 minutes and then set my foundation with the Rimmel stay matte pressed powder.
I apply this with a simple black brush by the brand Lumiere (which has gone out of business since i bought it). I found this brush at home bargains and considering it was so cheap and not from a drug store it works really well and is really soft.
I apply the powder all over my face and then go ahead and apply some bronzer.
I am currently using the Bourjois Paris maxi delight bronzer.
I apply a little of this to my cheek bones and in the middle of my forehead as well as on my nose and chin. I use bronzer instead of blusher because it looks very flattering and gives the look a more "no makeup" makeup vibe.
After I have bronzed my face I go ahead and put on some mascara.
I use the Maybelline Lash sensational mascara
and apply this to my top lashes starting right at the root of my lashes. I also apply the smallest amount to my bottom lashes.
Right at the end I wipe my lips to get rid of any excess makeup and put on more Vaseline and brush through my eyebrows to finish of my natural everyday look.
I don't wear any other eye makeup or highlighter because i like my look to be more natural.
So that’s how I do my makeup to college and if I’m going out. Thanks for reading this post, if you guys likes it then hit the like button and share it with your friends.
