MY EVERYDAY MAKEUP ROUTINE

I like to keep my everyday makeup simple and quick. Most mornings I am in a rush to get out the door so a quick makeup look is a must! Plus... the less time it takes me to get ready, the more time I have to sleep! (I looove my sleep lol) My everyday makeup routine includes a few high end products and a few drugstore products. You'll see lots of Westman Atelier products in this post, it is my all time favorite makeup line! Gucci Westman created this line of makeup with a "second skin" approach. Gucci has been a celebrity makeup artist for 20+ years to stars including Jennifer Anniston, Anne Hathaway, and Reese Witherspoon! No wonder her makeup is my favorite!

Step 1: Bobbi Brown Face Base Primer Moisturizer

The key to a flawless face of makeup is a good primer/moisturizer. I have used this Bobbi Brown moisturizer for years. It does the trick of both moisturizing and priming.

Step 2: Armani Luminous Silk Concealer

During the pandemic when face masks were a thing, I switched my foundation to a tinted moisturizer because I couldn't stand the feeling of heavy makeup under my mask. Since then, I have never been able to tolerate a full coverage foundation. Armani Luminous Silk concealer is just enough coverage for me, and its all I wear. I apply it under my eyes, on my nose, between my brows, a few dots on my cheeks, then on my trouble spots. It blends beautifully and does not crease!

Step 3: Westman Atelier Face Trace Contour Stick & Baby Cheeks Blush Stick

In the last year, I have become obsessed with cream makeup products. I have used this bronzer and blush for years but I used to only use it on special occasions. Now I use it every single day. I have the shade 'Biscuit' & 'Petal'. Biscuit is the perfect bronze color with zero orange undertones and Petal is a beautiful light pink rosy color. If you are intimidated by cream bronzer/blush, these are for you! They are very easy to blend and a little goes a long way. I apply bronzer under my cheek bones, on each side of my forehead right at the hairline, nose, and jawline. I apply blush on the apples of my cheeks and blend back into the hairline. Sometimes I will apply just a touch of blush on my nose.

Step 4: Airspun Loose Powder

My tried and true powder! I have used Airspun powder for as long as I can remember. Its only around $6 and lasts forever! I use this to set under my eyes, forehead, jawline and neck. Basically use this wherever you get oily or where you applied concealer. I use the color 'Naturally Neutral' or translucent.

Step 5: Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil & Patrick Ta Brow Lamination Gel

In my opinion, brows can make or break a makeup look. 90% of the time, my brows are laminated which saves me so much time doing my makeup. I use the Goof Proof pencil to fill in all the spaces and the lamination gel just to give them some extra hold.

Step 6: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Eyeshadow Palette

Out of the one million eyeshadow palettes I have, this one is the one I reach for the most. It is very versatile with 2 matte and 2 shimmer colors. I use this palette for soft glam to full glam and in between.

Step 7: Vivienne Sabó Cabaret Mascara

My all time favorite mascara! It is lengthening, thickening and the brush separates your lashes perfectly. It's also around $14, so thats a plus!

Step 8: Makeup By Mario Soft Glow Highlighter

The finishing touch to my everyday makeup routine. I apply highlighter to my cheek bones, the tip of my nose, under the arch of my brow and the top of my upper lip. I use the shade 'Golden'.

Step 9: Tom Ford Ultra Shine Lip Color

This lipstick is perfect for an everyday look. It is sheer & glossy and adds the perfect amount of color without being too much. My favorite shade for the summer is 'Sweet Spot' its the perfect peachy pink color.
