I don't ever blog about makeup, and since it's summer and I'm either in my work uniform, bathing suit, or pajamas (quite glamorous, really), I don't get to blog as many outfits as I would ideally like to. So to 'make up' for it (see what I did there...? Just a little side note, I am the queen of puns) I decided to do a quick blog about the every day makeup products I use.
I always like to try new products and brands, and as a result, my makeup drawer is close to over flowing. However, there are 2 brands I will ALWAYS be loyal to: MAC and ELF. I discovered ELF at Target in the states where you can literally buy eye liner and mascara for $1.00... I kid you not... as well as other makeup products that are as expensive as $7.00.
I have tried numerous concealers and the one that holds a special place in my heart is the Pro Longwear Concealer by MAC in the colour NW20. It provides amazing coverage with such a small amount!
I usually dust MAC'S Mineralize Skin Finish in the colour Medium Plus over top to set it, however for summer, I want a more dewy look to my skin so I apply a small amount of Maybelline BB cream over top of the concealer.
I feel completely naked without blush, and always opt for a coral one. I purchased a L'OREAL *new* THE ONE SWEEP sculpting blush duo (that's a mouth full) which is a small palette with a contour colour, and coral blush colour.
I occasionally like to add highlights by using my Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat radiant touch stick in the colour 1. It is a translucent cream that reflects the light creating a glow on your skin.
I go back and forth between a subtle black liquid eyeliner cat eye, and a brown pencil eyeliner cat eye. The brown pencil liner is obviously more subtle, but I love both looks equally as much.
I always curl my lashes (which freaks my dad out, especially when he sees me walking around while I'm actually curling my lashes... it's a gift), and then apply a few coats of black mascara.

My daily makeup routine honestly doesn't take that long, but if i want to make sure the wings of my eyeliner are even, then cut me some slack... because that takes time.
