My new makeup routine

If you've been around for awhile, you're probably thinking "How many times are you going to tell us that you finally got your makeup routine down pat?"

Good question. But I think I really got it this time. It's simple and streamlined and makes me feel good.

I always love reading about what products you're all using, so I thought I'd share mine. The goods (in the order that I put them on...)



FIrst Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream This is the first step of my beauty regimen. I slather this on my face and neck. This is an amazing value - a big vat of thick moisturizer for only $28!

Clinique Touch Base for Eyes I don't do eyeshadow during the week. Just a swipe of this in Canvas Light across my lid. Very easy.

Trish McEvoy Deluxe Eye Shadow I use this in Shell as a matte highlighter on my brow bone.

Yves Saint Laurent Liquid Eyeliner I've been using this for years. Extra thin line. Top lid only.

Cover FX Natural FX Water Based Foundation SPF 15 Nice and light. I apply it with Sephora Pro Foundation Airbrush #55.

Amazing Cosmetics AmazingConcealer A little goes a long way. I use Sephora Collection Classic Concealer Brush #46 to apply and then blend it with the Airbrush.

Cover FX Setting FX Translucent Setting Powder This gives me the matte look and I want and need. I use my Bobbi Brown Bronzer Brush to apply it.

Sephora Collection Jumbo Liner 12HR Wear Waterproof My eyes water a lot and smudged eyeliner is all too familiar to me. I use this on my inner bottom lid and it stays put pretty decently.

Bobbi Brown Blush The perfect complement to sun-kissed skin.

Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder If I'm not rockin' an airbrush tan, I'll swipe some of this on.

Sephora Collection Pro Natural Fan Brush #43 I use this to apply the bronzer and the blush. Gives me a light application and good cheekbone control.

L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara I always, always apply mascara last and holy guacamole, this thing is amazing. My lashes have never looked so good. Thank you to Blairs Head Band and A. Liz Adventures for the recommendation!

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler I curl with this before and after. I'm very insecure about my lashes and try to make them as big as possible.

Urban Decay Naked2 I use this for special occasions and weekends. I'm definitely not daring enough to experiment with all the colors so for now I use Bootycall on my brow bone, Chopper on my lid and Busted on the outer corners. The brush it comes with is great (flat end for Bootycall/Chopper, fluffy end for Busted).

What do you think? Do you use any of these?
