Hey guys!
I wasn't quite sure what to post this evening so decided to go with my current beauty routine; my routine personally changes quite often but when it comes to a natural, day-to-day look I tend to go with the same products, colours and techniques.
The first thing I do before applying make-up is use Garnier's Fresh Essentials Moisturiser; this is an important step for me as my face is naturally dry. Without moisturiser my skin feels tight and extremely uncomfortable. After applying moisturiser I move straight onto combing through my brows using my Chanel eyebrow pencil; with an Eco Tools angled eyeliner brush I will additionally fill in my brows using Smashbox's eyeshadow in Dusk. As my face is still moist it ensures that the colour will apply easily and that my brows will set in shape.
After a lengthy game of filling in my brows and making sure they match (some days this happens easier than others...) I will apply my foundation and concealer with the Real Techniques Complexion Sponge. My current products are Lancôme's Teint Visionnaire Foundation in 02 Beige Rosé and Collection's Ultimate Wear Concealer in Fair. These usually last all day and I will only touch-up if I'm going to work in the evening. My complexion is completed by contouring my face using the Benefit Hoola bronzer and then applying a MAC Power Blush in Mocha; both of these products are applied using the Real Techniques Stippling Brush.
Finally it's time to move onto my eyes; for me this is the easiest part as natural looks don't take up a lot of time! Unfortunately my eyes are very oily so it is essential for me to apply an eyeshadow primer; without my Urban Decay primer eyeshadows would instantly crease on me and let's be honest, that isn't a good look! With a MAC 217 blending brush I will then apply a light base eyeshadow from the MUA Heaven and Earth palette across my lid, crease and then up to my brow bone. After this I'll apply a dark brown eyeshadow through my crease, concentrating more of the product on the outer part of my eyelid. Despite my love for this palette MUA haven't named their eyeshadows so it is difficult to explain which ones I use!

To finish off my eyes I'll attempt to draw on winged eyeliner (I'm jealous of those who are naturally gifted in that area) using a Maybelline liner and then I'll apply my Lancôme mascara. I normally don't apply eyeshadow to my lower lash line so I'll move straight onto lining my waterline with a Lancôme pencil eyeliner and then I'll use my Maybelline liner again as a subsistute for mascara on my lower lashes.
To finish off my natural daily look I'll apply a pink lipstick; as mentioned in this month's beauty favourites my current favourite is Bobbi Brown's lipstick in 56 Hibiscus. If I feel like darkening up my lips a bit I'll also use Bourjois' lip liner in 18 Framboise Exquise, a pink liner which goes with the majority of lipsticks!
And that's my current beauty routine. It may seem long in writing but in reality it's a simple, quick and easy look to do.
