Spring Makeup Routine



 Hello Everyone! So I thought I would finally post a bit of beauty. This is going to be my Everyday Spring Makeup Routine. When a season hits, my makeup changes. For Spring, I prefer a dewy and light look. This is just what I would wear on an everyday basis however I have included some alternatives that I mix up my look with and left some items out, for example bronzer, sometimes I use it and sometimes I don't feel it is necessary. Hope you enjoy this post!


Moisturiser

I personally don't think primer is a necessary step, as long as you have a decent moisturiser your makeup will apply easily and last just as long. I use the Johnsons's Daily 24hr Moisturiser and simply dot this all over my face and blend in with my fingers.

Foundation:
For me, foundation is an optional step. It depends what look I am going for or if I want some extra coverage. I normally skip this step, unless it is a weekend. My go-to drugstore foundation is the Loreal True Match. It has a nice light to medium coverage and is buildable. It gives a dewy finish and isn't drying at all so I would recommend this for any skin type.

Concealer:

Most days, I just use a concealer under my eyes in a triangle shape and blend away with a brush, however if a blemish has appeared I may dab a little bit around the surrounding area but only if it is red. I use the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and think this has excellent coverage but can be a bit drying and crease a little under the eyes, if it's not blended properly.  

Powder:

I set my face makeup with the Maybelline Fit Me Powder but sometimes I skip this step, it is only if I have a long day ahead.


Blush:

Depending on my look I either use my Maybelline Jelly Glow or Mac Blush in the shade Peachy Keen. Both give me a dewy look but I find the Maybelline is slightly more natural.

Highlighter:

I always use highlighter because it gives my skin such a lovely glow and the pick me up it needs! My Mac Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle is my all time favourite, I have had it for over a year now and it still hasn't gone down that much, a small bit goes a long way.

Eyebrows:


I will be doing an eyebrow routine as a separate post on here showing how I achieve different looks. For everyday I use the Benefit Browzings in light, I just use the powder and then apply my Maybelline Brow Satin for some extra definition.

Mascara:


Firstly, I curl my eyelashes then apply one coat of my Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara for a natural look.

Lip Balm:

Normally, I use lip balm as it is suitable for everyday wear. The Blistex Daily Lip Conditioner is an amazing product for soft and shiny lips!

Lipstick:

On weekends and some weekdays I have been wearing my Burberry Lipstick in Sepia for a sheer wash of colour.
