FRESH-FACED EVERYDAY MAKEUP

Hello again! Today's post is going to be a beauty post, in particular my favorite everyday minimal makeup. I definitely think less is more when it comes to makeup, and especially when the weather starts warming up a bit I don't hesitate to use the bare minimum on my face. So today I thought I'd show you guys what I've been working with on my fresh-faced "no makeup" makeup for Spring!


The two tubes in the back are my two all time favorite light-weight liquid face products. I'm not one to cling to a foundation on a day-to-day basis, and for school I don't like the feeling of too much makeup on my face anyways. The white tube is the Lancome Bienfait Multivital Tinted Moisturizer in the color Sand (2) which is WAY too dark for me. I really don't understand when I was even that dark, but since I've had it since my freshmen year in high school (now a Junior) it has definitely come a long, long way. The green tube is the Clinique BB Cream in the shade #2 as well, except this one actually matches my skin tone but may be the tiniest bit light on me. I use 3/4 Clinique BB Cream and 1/4 Lancome TM, and they both give such good coverage for such lightweight products. 



I love the look of bold brows and minimal eye makeup. I think it gives such a fresh look for Spring and for such an inexpensive price, this Jordana eyeshadow/brow powder (can be found in Walgreens) in Light Ash Brown has been a staple for me.



Now normally in this post I would be showing my mineralized Mac blush in Dainty, aka my favorite peach/coral blush EVER, but unfortunately I left it at a friend's house and have not been able to pick it up all week. I decided to use one of my favorite drugstore blushes for the week which is the Maybelline Dream Mousse blush in a really soft and natural pink color, called 'Dolly Pink'. 



Oh. My. Goodness. I have so much to say about this lipstick. I originally bought this Revlon Lip Butter in Creamsicle for Prom in particular, and used it all the way throughout the night and shortly after fell in love with it. The photo makes it come off as a brown-toned peach, but believe me it is the most gorgeous nude-peach ever. I would classify it as a nude lipstick with peach/coral tones to it and this is something I would definitely re-purchase. 




Now I did indeed forget majority of my makeup products at a friend's house that I previously mentioned, including my two everyday mascaras. Not to worry though, I dug through my not-so-used makeup and found this gem that I got for Christmas. I tried it out when I first got it and for some reason thought it was clumpy, but I'm not even sure how I came to that conclusion. I have a huge thing for mascaras with wet formula because I feel like they apply so easily and don't take as much time since they just kind of glide right on. I love the way this mascara looks especially with absolutely nothing else on the eyes and with bold brows.

So there you have it! Pretty much my everyday makeup routine. I'll be doing a video on this soon, and some products may switch around but this is just the general idea of what I wear everyday. Not too little, and not too much in my opinion, just enough to enhance our natural beauty. Let me know if you guys have any products that you've been loving this Spring! Until next time.
