Throughout the years, my skincare and makeup routine have changed tremendously. Since a young age, I always loved playing around with makeup and finding what I like. I’ve never been into full glam, so my everyday makeup is very light and natural. But, before I apply concealer, blush, mascara, etc, I always start with my quick skincare routine!
As soon as I get out of bed, I like to splash cold water on my face to truly wake me up. Then, I brush my teeth, floss, you know… the basics. The first step of my skincare is to use the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. I dab a couple drops onto a cotton pad and wipe it all over my face. This product is wonderful for sensitive skin! It’s a perfect cleanser and great way to get rid of dirt and small bits of makeup that may have stuck from the previous day. After applied, it leaves your face clean and refreshed to take on the day or even heading to bed. Next, I use the Cetaphil Daily Hydrating Lotion as my face moisturizer. Guys, this lotion is amazing!! My skin stays smooth and hydrated for hours! It’s super lightweight and is perfect for dry skin (which is what I have). Plus, it’s formulated with hyaluronic acid and is great for travel since it comes in a small bottle. All you need to do is grab ‘n’ go! On top of that, I apply the Avalon Organics Facial Serum with Vitamin C. This product is a MUST-HAVE. Because of this serum, my skin looks more radiant and bright throughout the day. It’s a lovely overlay with the moisturizer. Then, I grab my skin roller (highly recommend) and just roll it upon my face. This is a great way to really let the products soak into your skin and give your face a quick massage before you go about your day.

Let’s move on to makeup! Starting with face, I first rub in the Glossier Priming Moisturizer. It’s light and dewy texture make it wonderful for a base and very buildable without feeling overbearing. Next up, I use the Smashbox Flawless 24 Hour Concealer in the color Light Medium Cool. I swear by this product! I’ve been using it for the past year or so and it actually looks like my natural skin. When I ask my mom or friends if they see it, they always say “No, I didn’t even know you had any on.” How awesome is that?! I only apply it under my eyes to get rid of dark circles and on pimples when I have them. To smooth it nicely, I use the BareMinerals Blurring Buffer Brush or a typical beauty blender. I prefer the brush because it always comes out as a clean finish without any splotches. My favorite blush is the Glossier Cloud Paint in the color Dusk (very nude). I put a little on my cheeks and dab in an upwards motion, following my cheekbones, and then go over my nose for an almost “sun-kissed” look.

As for the eyes, I like to start with eyebrows. Recently, I’ve been using the Glossier Boy Brow in the color Brown. It’s basically an eyebrow gel with a faint tint and it also comes in Black, Blonde, or Clear. I prefer an extra touch of color because not only does it shape your eyebrows, but it also fills them in as you go! Two steps in one! Although, for the longest time I used (sometimes still use) the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder in the shade Dark Brown. To apply this, I love their Brow Brush tool: specifically number 12. This powder is awesome if you want to completely shade in your brows for an even bolder or more defined look. To hold it in place, I would use the Anastasia Clear Brow Gel. Before putting on mascara, I recommend curling your eyelashes. This creates more length and shape to your lashes and you can buy these anywhere (mine is from Sephora). For a very dainty and simple mascara, I love the Glossier Lash Slick. It’s perfect when wanting to add a tiny-bit of volume to your lashes, while also avoiding clumping and keeping that natural appearance.

Now, for the very last step, lips! I have a couple of favorites when it comes to my go-to lip product, but before anything, I apply the Aquaphor Lip Balm. This is a great base because it’ll keep your lips soft and moisturized. The first product I want to mention is the Maybelline Baby Lips Tinted Lip Balm. I have it in the color Cherry Me which adds a noticeable, yet settle, red tint to your lip, while keeping them hydrated. To mix it up, I also love the Sugar Lip Balm by Fresh. The color I use is Petal and it comes with SPF 15! Lastly, I may apply the Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint in Bare Pink. It’s a very soft pink, but it adds a nice shimmer to your lips if that’s what you’d prefer!
