My Everyday Makeup Routine - Beauty theories

Hello readers! This is my first post and I thought, why not write about my everyday makeup routine? I guess this is the safest topic to talk about since I have only started blogging.

Since it is summer, I have not been applying makeup on an everyday basis because most of the time I stay home. During days when I have to run errands or visit a friend, this is the makeup that I wear. This is also basically the same look I wear during school days.

1. Brows
Etude House Easy Brow Pencil in No. 1 (Dark Brown)

I personally prefer doing the brows first. I don't know why. I think filling the brows is a very important step, and I feel naked when I don't do this. (You know what I mean) When I am in a hurry, I just do this and I'd be ready to go.

The etude house is my current favorite as of the moment, but I usually interchange it with other pencils, depending on the look I want to go for.  When I want my brows to be a little darker than usual, I use my Nichido Minerals Precise Eye Pencil in Chestnut. When I want a lighter, more "obvious" brows, I use my Ever Bilena Ever Original Eye pencil in Light Brown which is another favorite.
I sometimes use a matte brown eyeshadow to fill my brows as well. I like having a lot of options and I like exploring what product would suit my brows best.

2. Foundation/ BB Cream
Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in No. 23

I prefer bb cream than foundation because it feels lighter and it looks more like skin, but with a little bit of coverage. I specifically like this bb cream from Missha. Its coverage is just light, enough to even out some redness and cover some blemishes on my skin. It has spf 42 which I think is perfect for my everyday in school. I apply this using my e.l.f. powder brush or my fingers. I dot it all over my face and then blend.

3. Concealer
E.L.F All Cover Stick in Spice

I don't always put concealer but when I do, I use this. It is peachy that's why it can easily out the blue hues under my eyes. In my experience, it does not crease, too. I just use my fingers to dab a little bit on the areas I want to conceal and then blend.

4. Eyeliner
Careline Color Pencil (Dark Brown)

Yep, the spooly came off. -______-

I use this just to slightly define my upper lashline. Black eyeliner is a bit too much for everyday makeup for me. This Careline pencil fades through the day that's why I'm still in search for a better brown eyeliner. I think I'm going to get the San San waterproof eyeliner pen. What do you think? :)
I use the Marrionaud angled brush (N38) to help me perfect my line.

5. Mascara
Avon Super Shock Max

Mascara! This is one of my most favorite make up items. I have very thin, sparse, short lashes, and I always like them defined. I just recently purchased this mascara so I'm still in the process of judging whether I like it or not.






















6. Lips
Maybelline Baby Lips in Smoothing Cherry + Avon Simply Pretty Color Bliss Lipstick in Daring Red

Since I want to achieve a natural look, I just put lip balm for moisture (baby lips is excellent for this), and then dab a bit of this Avon lippie on my lips. I looks very natural. I never skip this because most of the time I look pale when I don't. When I want a longer lasting, slightly more intense lip color, I use my Avon lip and cheek tint. (It might look a little unfamiliar because I peeled of the plastic around it. :D )

7. Blush/Bronzer

I seldom include blush on my everyday makeup routine. When ever I try to put blush on, I feel overdone and I don't know why. :(
 I like bronzer/contour more than blush and I'd rather wear it to school than wear blush. (I'm wierd).
I ran out of my favorite bronzer which is the infamous e.l.f. contouring blush and bronzing powder. I use the Nichido True Colors Collection Powder Blush in Cool Rum in the mean time.

8. Setting powder
Fanny Serrano Two way Cake in Chino

I then set everything with a setting powder. I like this powder because it stays put, and it keeps me matte but not flat. I use my E.l.f Complexion brush with this. My only problem with this is that I think it is too heavy for everyday use. I'm still on a hunt for a good setting everyday powder and I would appreciate it very much if you comment and recommend some that you want to suggest. :) I have tried the 4u2 BB powder but I did not like it. :( I become shinier than ever.. maybe even the shiniest of them all (haha) when I used that.

That's it for my first post, thank you so much for reading! <3
