My Makeup Must Haves

Glad you’re here! Today I’ll be sharing my makeup must haves for a quick minute routine. It literally only takes 5 minutes! Don’t get me wrong, some days I love going FULL GLAM. These are the days I have more time to do my makeup at a steady pace. For the every day look, I try not to over do it especially when I’m in the midst of taking care of a little one. He needs my attention majority of the day so easy and quick does the trick!

Step 1 – Moisturizing is key. Not only does it help your skin but it sets your makeup in place for the day. I started using an anti-aging/hydrating cream by It Cosmetics called “Confidence in a Cream”. It is a little more of a splurge but I wouldn’t spend the money if I wasn’t seeing results!

Step 2 – After moisturizing my skin, I then go onto a primer. I use the Tarte Base Tape Hydrating Primer . Not only is it super hydrating as well but it’s not so heavy, leaving my skin feel fresh and airy!

Step 3 – After priming my skin, I brush on my Mac foundation. I’ve been through so many foundations in the past but I love this one! It makes my skin feel super smooth and no cake at all. Sometimes I’ll even mix it with my drug store favorite Loreal True Match!

Step 4 – Once my foundation is on, I like to add my concealer under my eyes, on top & under of my nose, Tarte Shape Tape. This has been a favorite of mine since High School and it has wonderful reviews!

Step 5 – I went without a setting spray for a long time, but the Dewy Setting Spray by Anastasia is perfection. I love the way it sets all my makeup into place for the day!

Step 6 – After setting, I go ahead and apply my primer + mascara duo for my eyelashes! I use the Tarte Opening Act Lash Primer + Tarte Maneater Mascara .

Step 7 – Next, I go in super quick with the Elf light Brown Brow pencil to draw in a few more even lines. This one is super cheap and I feel like it works very well!

Step 8 – Last but not least, I apply a liquid lipstick. I have a favorite, Kylie Cosmetics Lip kits have been a go-to of mine since she released them!
