CURRENT MAKEUP ROUTINE

*I don't wear this lip gloss too often but the one I am wearing in this picture is linked here. 

I recently shared this picture on my Instagram and I had a lot of people e-mail me on what makeup I am wearing in this picture..

This makeup look has actually been my makeup routine for a few weeks now and I love it because it is so simple and fresh looking for spring and summer and it is also so quick to do in the mornings which is always a bonus.

Current Makeup Routine

It may look like a lot, but trust me, it takes me about 10 minutes to apply all of this in the A.M. I prefer to wear this lipstick on a daily basis rather than the lip gloss in the picture above because I can  sheer this red/pink lipstick out and create a subtle stain look without it being too bold for everyday wear.

I apply the Bare Minerals BareSkin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation all over the face. I am in the colour #3 Bare Linen

I then apply the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder on tops of my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose and temples

I then apply NARS Laguna Bronzer onto the hollows of the cheekbones and temples

Under eye concealer Mac Prep & Prime Highlighter

 

Mac Studio Finish SPF 35 concealer in NW20

Urban Decay Primer Potion

MAC Lipstick

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

For my eyes, it's really simple. I apply the colour "Verve" all over each lid and then I grab the colour "YDK" and do a light dusting over top to create a light shimmery glow. I then use a pointed eyeliner brush like this one and I wet the brush (dapping off the excess water onto a tissue) and grab the colour "Blackout" and create a thin line above the upper lash line. You could totally use any eyeliner of your choice but I do this sometimes to speed up the process and it actually looks like eyeliner.

ROMPERS AND JUMPSUITS

I don't know what it is about Rompers & Jumpsuits lately but I am obsessed with either one of them. I just recently bought a couple and I can't wait to pick up a few more as they are so practical for work or any occasion for that matter and who wouldn't want to look cozy in a onesie and be stylish at the same time?

MANI // PEDI PAIRINGS

 Pale Pink & Royal Blue are a great combo for a date night out, going to a wedding or any special event.

Lavender & Deep Purple are great pairings as they are in the same colour family.

Coral & Turquoise are such pretty tropical colours that these two would look amazing when you're on a tropical trip or a day at the beach.

Peach & Lime are both bright colours and you would be making a statement with these two pretty colours.

Red & Hot Pink are great pairings since they are in the same colour family and nothing screams "sexy" with these two colour pairings. A date night out or if you are feeling sophisticated, pick these two colours.

Yellow & Mint is a great pairing for spring and summer and let's face it, these two colours are so pretty together and it gives your nails a fresh look.

What are your favorite polish pairings?

I must say, these high waisted shorts are beyond the comfiest shorts I have ever worn. They are loose fitting, perfect for spring and summer and they are extremely light weight. These high waisted shorts are super fun and you can totally dress these up or down but I love to dress them up, especially for work or a date night.

REFRESH YOUR MAKEUP BAG

I always find that I put less makeup on in the spring and summer months and I always tend to carry a smaller bag as well. With that being said, I don't want a whole bunch of beauty products in my bag as I only want the products that I need and wear on a daily basis.

When it comes to these warmer months, I always like to have at least one lip product, one foundation, a travel size mascara, a blush/bronzer/highlighter trio as this will eliminate clutter in your bag and who wouldn't want all three in one compact? An eye brighter is always a must as that beauty product tends to get reapplied during the day and having an eyebrow tint/wax in one is always a life saver product in my bag. 

Amp up your makeup bag with some or all of these products for under $150 and say goodbye to all of that winter makeup that is still lingering around.

Happy Shopping!
