Everyday Makeup Routine:

Hi everyone, today i'm showing you my everyday makeup routine, ive seen people make these but video version but im too much a chicken to do that so i thought id just make a blog post about and also id have to start the video with no makeup aha. Anyway this post may be one of my long ones so you might want to get yourself a cup of tea!

                                            


Face:
ive seen LOADS of people say "i have really bad dark circles" and a lot of the time they don't. and when i say, i have bad dark circles. i mean it. But ive recently found a concealer that has changed all that, its amazing. Its the Garnier roll on anti dark circles concealer that comes in one shade, as far as i know (£11-£12) i know that seems a lot for a drugstore concealer but its worth it, i promise! I just roll under my eyes (its very peachy but don't worry its cancels out the black amazingly) and then i use my ring finger and put tap in into my eye area ( i wouldn't rub/wipe it in because i find because the concealer is so creamy it just wipes away on your ring finger.

Next im going to use my foundation/tinted moisturizer. i use a tinted moisturizer but if you feel you need the coverage then use a foundation, i recommend the perfection Lumiere (£32) I use the MAC studio moisture tint in the shade medium (£20), if you don't know what colour you are then don't worry if you ask the person at the MAC counter the can help you find the right shade for you. Firstly i use one squeeze out one pump of the product on the back on my right hand (because i use my left hand to apply it) then i dab the product on my fore head, nose, chin and my cheeks. Then finally bled it in with hand and once evened out pat in with my fingers to give a flawless finish.
Then i use a powder just to insure that my face makeup stays on all day. i used to use the MAC mineralised skin finish naturals in medium plus (£20) but last week i ran out of it and i wouldn't bear to that much on a powder that so many people rave about but i personally think a powder is a powder so now i use the rimmel         
match perfection ultra creamy compact powder. ive only been using it a week or so all i know is that its sets very well but doesn't give you any coverage but i don't mind and i apply that with the elf powder face brush for the studio line(£3.50)
And finally i use my MAC creme blusher in lady blush (£17.50) i love it because its a creme and makes your skin look really dueey (not sure how to spell that aha) and i use the MAC 130 brush (£28) and stipple that in to the apples on my cheeks (to find the apples smile and the circle parts are them)


Eyes:
I dont really like using eye shadow but i like to just use a light peach or pink colour so im using the bourjois   eyeshadow in beige rose (£2.99) and i apply that with MAC 242 (£18) and i just dab that all over my lid and blend it up to by brow bone 
Stupidly i cut my eye lashes when i was younger so eyelashes arnt the longest so i use a liquid eye liner so they look thicker by using the SEPHORA long lasting eyeliner imm not sure what colour it is but its like a grey with a blue under tone (ranges)
I LOVE doing my eyebrows and soon i want to he HD brows but for the mean time iv got the sleek brow kit in light (£6) and use my eco tools small eyeliner brush to give a sharp edge to my brows. Then i use my clear mascara for MUA (£1) just to make sure that they stay in place all day and as its a wax it does tend to slide around my eye area.
Dont worry im almost done! im using a bourjois mascara but im not sure what its called but its been discontinued anyway but its not the best one ive used but i do like the clique impact mascara(£18?)
Now i just use a highlighter of some sort like my Avon metallic eye pencil in creamy ice down my nose. my inner corner and my philtrum (the dent at the top of your lip)


Lips:
 FINALLY i usually i just slap on some Vaseline that only cheap and you can get from supermarkets and sometimes even clothing stores


Im so sorry that was so long but i wanted to make sure it was detailed, im really sorry if there's any mistakes   but im not the smartest of people but anyway, hope you enjoyed 
Love Izzie xoxo
